His tax breaks for the middle and working class don't do any good if these people can't find work.

Nobody can be forced to keep a business running if they think they are being taxed too much, and many business owners are just retiring, or investing their money in other ways, because it's not worth it for them to keep their places open.

Most people would rather pay higher taxes and have work, and health benefits, than get a tax break and remain unemployed and uninsured - which is what Obama's plan is doing. Of course, someone like Obama, coming from the privileged background that he grew up in might just not get that part. I voted for him, and am dissapointed already. I doubt that McCain/Palin would have accomplished much more by now, but we'll never know.
