Look, we may not be able to know who is milking the government and who is not, but alot of people are not able to just go and get jobs, or an education. Maybe they were dealt bad hands or maybe they did it to themselves. We have to trust that the government will do its best to weed through those who are milking.<br>But, just because they get a little money from the government, does not mean they get a free ride. I wouldn't trade places with them for one second, because it is hard being poor. I know there are poor people who get government assistance, but you don't have to pay for them. It is the popular belief among conservatives that hard working Americans have to pay for free loaders, but if you would like to really know, we pay more for white collar crime than for welfare. Yes, there is statistical data to back that statement up. So its not always the poor uneducated peoples fault. You are educated! Then by all means, ignore those who tell you they never have to pay for such and such again. The whole concept of what they supposedly said is ludicrous anyway. <br>On health care, I have spoken to m.d.s and patients from Germany, Canada, France, and England. They wouldn't trade their health care system for ours in a million years. People don't die waiting in line. That is well known propaganda, and yet we still choose to fall for it. Doctors get bonuses for preventative health care. They make 6 figure salaries. Patients of any social class can walk into a clinic and get treated for free. It really does work! I promise.<br>Doctors here? Preventative medicine HAHAHA! What a joke. The drug companies do not make money if people prevent their ailments. Basically, Bekah, whether you think someone deserves the right to be treated for free is your opinion, but just remember, there are poor ignorant crooks and rich sly crooks, the only difference is the rich ones cost us more money and know damn well better. Once again "don't hate, educate". Peace Everyone does deserve free health care.

As far as voting, you missed what I am saying. If you do not hold a job and collect government income, you should not be able to vote b/c you are not a contributing memeber of society, no matter what your race is. You are one that I applaud b/c not only do you work, but you are going to school. I am talking about the people who sit at home all day and do nothing but rely on the government to pay their bills. You can honestly say that you are ok with giving them your tax dollars when they are doing absolutely nothing to better themselves? Not only did I work 3 jobs while I was working on both my B.S. and M.S., but I was denied any type of medicaid coverage by the government. I believe that people who attend school should have some type of health care available to them b/c they are trying to better themselves. I was not able to get any grants and owe a nice chunk to Sallie Mae and yes it sucks, but has made me appreciate everything I have worked for. It is sad that those out there think they are entitled to free education b/c of their race. Free health care for everyone...you want to basically attend a charity type of health care??? It is sad that people really think this type of health system would be better. Watch the number of people scream when they get piss poor health care b/c the md's are not getting any great reimbursement and are breaking even after all of the years of schooling and debt they acquired. Alot of things sound better in theory until you put them into practice and then everyone starts to change their mind. Hey bullwinkle. As far as voting, you missed what I am saying.

Sigh. For those of you (CC!) who think that Affirmative Action should end because the white men are loosing jobs to African Americans, you are WRONG. Update! If you think that there is equal opportunity, there is not! If you think that an African American took a job that you could have had, he/she did not! AA gives African Americans the opportunity to be considered for the same jobs as everyone else. So if you white people don't think it is fair, blame the white man who got your job because he was more qualified than you. P.S. I have to get out of this site. I give up! Sigh.

The constitution of the U.S. affords us the right to vote no matter how POOR we may be. You think because our President is black that poverty will end and us po' and lazy folk will get a free ride? I work full time, attend 15 credit hours of college a semester, have a son, and I cannot afford health insurance. So I use the gov. so my son can go to the doctor, and so he can attend day care while I work and go to school 11 hrs. a day. I am poor! But I am trying really hard to make it, and I deserve to have my voice heard. Just as much as all of you. So, free health care? Hell Yeah! Free Education Hell Yeah x2. We as a nation should support our brothers and sisters no matter what color they are. Instead of kicking them when they are down. Obama 08!

By the way,<br>I don't dis Christianity, but I am an agnostic, so no, I think we've prayed enough for the last 8 years, now it is time to take our destiny into our own hands.

Vicky, I don't know if you voted for Bush or not, and sure you have a right to your opinion, but pointing the finger at American's for developing wisdom is regressive and will lead to nowhere.

I live in Louisiana and overheard many African Americans saying they voted for Obama b/c he is black. They are all living on federal government money and receiving free health care. I do not belive people like this should be able to vote. They can't even hold a job and the only reason they can give for their vote is b/c he is black. On the radio today, they interviewed an african american woman who said she is glad her brother is in the White House b/c she don't have to pay her mortgage no mo, her car note no mo, and her electricity no mo b/c her brother is going to take care of her. This is the type of person who really concerns me. We allow them to live off my hard earned money, vote, get free health care and education and it is all about what more they can get for free. Point in case is they think b/c Obama is black they are going to benefit. I realize that not all african americans are like that and there is white trash too. Oh by the way, I do realize McCain won LA, but just sickened by what more can we get for free. Race will always be an issue.

This is the type of person who really concerns me. We allow them to live off my hard earned money, vote, get free health care and education and it is all about what more they can get for free. Point in case is they think b/c Obama is black they are going to benefit. I realize that not all african americans are like that and there is white trash too. Oh by the way, I do realize McCain won LA, but just sickened by what more can we get for free.

I think it is time, actually it always should have been time, to pray. We need to pray to God that Obama can or will do a good job. I don't think it is possible, but we shall see. I am sounding negative here, but not much is known about him. He wasn't elected because of his known skills, he was elected because he is black. Well 7% of him is anyway. If it is the end, just make sure that you are living your life the best way you can and by the Bible. Bob, I agree. I think it is time, actually it always should have been time, to pray.

We all hope he listens. And good for you to not start jumping and firing people as Ron has above.<br>Why lay people off till you find out what happens and then make a wise and calculated decision on the basis on their work performance and not just because they exercised their right as an American, and if you are laying off people, Ron right now, you were in trouble before and this has nothing to do with Obama. Take credit where Credit is Due. <br>Thank you for your intelligent and educated comments Mark, yours were one of a very small few on this page.

Also I was down the middle most of the time as well….I own a small contracting company and I am quite financially stable….but the tax ideas he has are scary we will see how many breaks are available soon enough till then my employees are secure.

I did not vote for Obama,but I will support him and this country, my country, but will he listen?
Will he be any different than any other politician cooing in our ear?
We will see.

Who said the owners of the Obama stickers were black? Just like a democrat making assumptions. They voted him in office and I assume they knew his policy intentions - I really hate to believe that they voted for him just because he was black or they bought into the whole (extremely vague) "Time for a Change" message. Taxing the rich to give to the poor sounds like a good idea huh? Well not to anyone that took a junior high economics class - welcome to socialism - I'm sure they will be ok - I just hope when he is "spreading the wealth" he doesn't forget these 8 that will be unemployed. I actually heard an interview where an Obama voter asked when the issue of reparations would be addressed and if anyone knew just how much they would be getting. LMAO - You asked for it you got it America - ENJOY!! Hey Prez Elect instead of handing out money to the lazy how about creating some jobs!!!!!!!!!!!! Did you see all that celebrating last night and that was just Venezuela. Did you see the stock market today - the last 2 days of the election (when McCain was climbing) the stock market was climbing significantly. Have you seen it today? Trust me get your money out while you can. Obama economics scares the hell out of investors. Hold on everyone it's gonna be a bumpy ride. PALIN in 2012!! She will rescue this country and truly UNITE America!! Racism? Who said the owners of the Obama stickers were black? Just like a democrat making assumptions.

I am most proud of the white people of this country who are often looked upon as racist and who are accused of holding the black man down who also voted with little or no regard to race. I find it hard to believe 95% of the black voters share the same views as Obama…but much like Colin Powell, it seems the majority of black voters found it easier to cross party lines than race lines. As a black Republican I have moral responsibilities to myself and family that prohibitted me from crossing those lines, economy comes before soul in the dictionary only.

Hum the states that PRESIDENT ELECT Obama won were state that have some of the most highly educated people. I being one of them. I find your comment offensive. It is uneducated people that make comments like that. Stop being so angry and help this country, He is OUR ELECTED President, we all had to deal with Bush for 8 years because he was elected by the people. Good or bad how ever you feel about it. Now it is time for a change.... Racist??,, not once did play to his heritage. He is an American, black white whatever it does not matter people are people..if people start reminding themselves of that then maybe racism will no longer be an issue for anyone. Do you make more than $250,000 a year??? If middle class probably not. remember less than 5% of American makes more than $250,000 a year. See all sides and try to open you mind just a little to see the possibilities. I beg to differ….uneducated???

I am a business owner who employs 37 people. I make well over $250,000 a year. President elect Obama will hit me with an 8% tax - to recover this loss I will be letting 8 employees go. I called my managers in this morning to decide who would be let go at the beginning of the year. My floor foreman had the best idea - we went outside and found 8 Obama bumper stickers - made our decision REALLY easy. It's like America didn't consider the consequences do they really think the wealthy are going to take the loss? Also, I hope your ready for prices to climb, how do you think the dairy farmers are going to recover their tax gouges - hope you don't like milk or you don't mind paying a lot more for it.
