Liz, If this is an economic plan, I give up !!! This is just tinkering with the current policy. If CHANGE is this candidates platform, it’s a failed platform. We need bold objectives and some dynamic ideas. Anyway, now that McCain has picked Sarah Palin its a moot point — it’s over for Obama and the devil behind him. . .

I wish someone would run the numbers to see just how much revenue this would develop. My bet is, it won’t be enough to satisify the dems and we will get trickle-down taxing. In other words, I for one, am not lulled into thinking that because my family earns less than $250,000 a year we will not see an Obama tax increase on cap gains and interest and an Obama tax increase on our income because we are not in the “top two income-tax brackets”.

This is nothing short of class warfare. The upper income people have enough and can give some of it up. The oil companies have made enough money and they can give some of it up. It is nothing short of pure Democrat Party asset re-distribution. It is just plain wrong.

Liz:
You do not come across as someone with a high level of gullibility so please do not
Try and convince us that this guy is telling the truth. These people are politicians first and will say anything to get their candidate elected.

Liz when it comes to economics Goolsby in my opioin doesn’t put forward any honest solutions with Obama’s plan. I had microeconomics in junior college and I can tell you Goolsby points are weak. For exmaple he exposues alternate energy sources which I’m in agreement with but he doesn’t present an honest picture of solving a real problem: like say the housing market slump. He doesn’t seem to know enough about the present energy crisis. Especially when his surrogates and Pelosi say that it’s going to take ten years to get oil out of ground. To be blunt I trust Eric Bolling,other traders in the commidity market who know more on this industry than someome like Goolsby. He makes good talking points but does he have a real solution as to deal with Frannie and Freddie? THe FDIC needing more more funds from the treasury to rescue more banks? Everytime I hear an Obama Surrogate on economics I doubt if they know the real facts what real people honestly face.
By the on energy last night the Govenor of Montana made a fool of himself and he should be put on Comedy Central like the Daily Show. That’s how comedic elements of the Democratic Convention have been.
