I think all the questions have been answered and this election is much different than the others because we know alot more about where the candidates stand on the issues much prior to the general election. The primary was covered in much more detail this year than in previous years. I cannot imagine any normal person being able to think of a question for either candidate that has not been asked by one of the hundreds of journalists that have interviewed the candidates. I think that health care will be the the central issue this year. If a democrat gets elected, Governmental Health Care will be the Iraq War of his presidency; alot of money will be spent on it. If a Republican gets elected, war in Iran will be the Iraq war of his presidency; alot of money will be spent on it. I think of all the money funnelled from the middle class into big corporate profits to companies like Halliburton and Exxon and I want to weep. This especially happens when I think of how much education for the middle class could have been provided instead. It is a crying shame what is happening in this country today. The rich are getting rich and the middle class are the ones that are doing it. Capitalism is awful.

Capitalism is not awful. And a lot of people considered rich might not have started that way. They may have started in the middle class and worked their way up into wealthiness, something that is usually not an option if everything is truly socialized. Capitalism is what drives many folks to create new technologies and inventions. It drives the continued research into cures for many diseases. Like it or not, a lot of people do what they do in order to make a buck, and if making more money than the next guy is no longer an option I'm afraid we would be far lacking in our advancements.

Capitalism is awful? Did you ever get a job from a poor person? I haven't.
I hope the rich conintue to succeed and get richer so that they can keep providing jobs for others.
