Re: Anyone from Chicago care to comment on this article
Tax breaks or Tax increases ?
This is a tough one. I like to allow our free enterprise system work and do not want government interference. I do not support the so called "windfall taxes"...to me they are simply a lot of political hocus pocus to get votes and in the long run will undermine future development. However, I like Sen Obama's structure on SOME of his income tax changes he proposes. This issue is probably the lynchpin of the difference in the two parties. One wants a lot of government interference and the other wants very limited !

I think we have to look at a couple of things here....Yes I would agree 1 party proparts to want limited government interferace...but really that is a false claim. All you have to do is to look at what happened with Bear Sterns. It was the Fed that put that package together. Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac are in real trouble they are privately owned companies however when they fail and they will the Government will bail them out. My point is the Republicans want no government interference in their business dealing UNTIL they get into trouble and then they go running to the government to bail them out. Of course we are the ones that end up paying. On the other hand while all those people were out there losing their houses the Republicans voted against trying to help them. I think the quote is "Government of the people, by the people and for the people." NOT Government of business, by business and for business.
