The problem in our economy should not only be blamed on either political party. It is the fault of greedy investors! Who are these greedy investors? Our mutual funds, insurance annuity fund managers, pension fund managers, hedge fund investors in combination with the weakening us dollar, and costly overspending by the US Government etc...
Our current depression has it's roots in the early eighties. Consider the changes in the regulatory practices of the Fed from about 1981 on to present day. Don't forget about our economic shift from a manufacturing base economy to a service based economy. One also has to include the open trade agreements made during the 1990's.
By the way, Obama doesn't have an 80% tax bracket. You should probably research your information prior to posting such an idiotic lie! Here is the link to Obamas ACTUAL tax plan... you should probably take the time to read it.
FYI... I am an undecided voter, but the more I see stupid lies posted like the one you did, the more I realize that maybe lies are the only way for the Republican machine to stay in power!

Ah, since the Democrats have had control of the Senate and House for the past few years, how come THEY didn't fix all of this before it became a crisis?
Oh, I see, Obama's 80% tax bracket is gonna solve all of out problems -- foolish me.

Actually, it DOES matter who is president. We elected Bush on abortion and look at the mess we've got. Now here comes Sarah with the same crap on steroids---for Johnnie-boy, corporate favorite.
If we have to endure more devaluation of our dollars, we by damn deserve some honest Democrats. No flip-flop liars. No McCain. No Palin. They belong and still subscribe to the party and the policies that caused all of this. Taxes too low.
Interest too low. Wars on credit. Nonsense.
