WOW.
Some of you republicans are so selfish. I read through this thread and every guy who thinks Obama's gonna ruin the country backs their response with "we're gonna lose EVERYTHING (haha yea thats EVERYTHING, right guys?) because of higher taxes."
So you're not willing to give up that cup of coffee once out of five times a week to help other people?
So you won't bitch and wine when you get something like a 50 grand medical bill due to a horirble ski crash which the insurance company won't cover because it was "un-expected" or "not their fault" and have to go bankrupt and live on the street?
That's when you'll lose everything, and that's when you'll wish your selfish fellow Republicans (hey, I guess I can't say Americans anymore!) had been generous enough and given that once cup of coffee per week so you didn't have to make the unimaginable choice between an a back or a house. Or a leg and a future.
C'mon guys, you're living in the 21st century now and the rest of the world (or the majority of it) have gotten over these issues, especially the ones you criticize as being "socialist". It's time you guys came down from your pedestal and joined the rest of us who, by the way, aren't too fond of you; not because you're richer than us, not because we're jealous of you, not because we're "socialists" but because we don't like getting mixed up in your mistakes and having to clean up after you guys.
Yes you are the most powerful country in the world, LIVE UP TO IT.
