Support John Kerry?!
I understand that the main purpose of this blog is the concern of state of the MMOG. However, I find it difficult to simply stand by during this day of election. I have seen a good number of people concerned of the economy, at the hands of George W. Bush.
I admit that the current condition of the economy is not good. The major corporations are not willing to spend their money on the workers, thus vastly decreasing the purchasing power of the working and middle class. As a member of the working class, I greatly feel for those effected. I personally have virtually no savings for the future. Are the conservatives at fault? Absolutely not.
Witness NAFTA! Supported by Democrats, NAFTA allows corporations to send their work overseas, at the cost of the American workforce. The cost is cheaper for corporations to spend their money in the international market.
Kerry is not concerned for the American worker. He represents a force which is more concerned with the state of the world. Invade Iraq with a supposed "World Coalition?" Shouldn't we be more concerned with the state of our own nation?
Bush is concerned with tax cuts to the rich? News flash, people. The rich already pay most our our taxes. Tax cuts benefit everybody, from our richest to our poorest, who barely pay taxes as it is.
Kerry has promised NOTHING. His statements land on boths sides of every issue. He is afraid to take a stand on ANYTHING where the results have yet to be seen through.
The main issue here is with the economy. Blame Bush for the current recession, and you refuse to recognize the past. Our mid-nineties boon was based primarily upon tech stocks. Love or hate Microsoft - Clinton's lawsuit against them (Damn Janet Reno!) had a HUGE impact upon tech stocks. When Microsoft's stock went down, so did virtually every tech stock connected to it. Thus our economy declined. Was this Bush's fault? A resounding NO! Clinton begain this behavior, while the shortsighted American public blamed it on Bush's administration.
The economy of US is more reponsive upon actions of the Federal Reserve. Blame Greenspan before you blame Bush. But even Greenspan has a number of years before his policy has an impact upon the American economy.
If you are voting on the basis of the Iraq war, note that Kerry is not going to end it- rather to continue the campaign as he sees fit. You want our boys/girls home? Better to stick with someone willing to give our soldiers the means to survive, rather than Kerry's vote to deprive them of $87 billion to survive and continue.
Let it also be noted that Clinton began a campaign against Hussein, a campaign that would have ended in war - since Hussein decided to oppose every UN resolution upon his regime. Essentially, the US was going to be forced to take this type of action regardless of Republican/Democratic leadership. Kerry is not our way "Out." He doesn't even claim to be.
As such, I'd like to exclaim my support for our troops. Their bravery has surpassed mine or anyone else who inhabits this country without being in the military.
Dread Lord Bill.
