At least you&#039;ve researched it. Many of the items you list are the reasons I do support Obama - so we&#039;ll agree to differ.However, I will question your assumptions in point 11 and 12.There&#039;s so much info here on this link - you&#039;ll have a field day - but it&#039;s quite interesting ( for example it has the national debt and inflation recorded year by year by President since 1780 ish on the spreadsheet at the bottom under sources - you need to select the worksheet).You&#039;ll figure it out - but look at Fig 1 which shows the climb in National Debt. And look at Fig 3 together with the narrative underneath which shows the &quot;change&quot; by President for the last 50 years.You will see that Democrat policies have been more successful (Clinton, Carter and Johnson) and that tax decreases have not had the anticipated effect. http://www.cedarcomm.com/~stevelm1/usdebt.htm.EDIT: Point 13  - The minimum wage is arguable. First should there be a minm wage? And then what level is it set. It&#039;s a matter of judgement. I have a view that says it should be set in areas wider than one state.Generally - I have to say it&#039;s difficult to compare the pre war period with the post war period  -  because so much has changed. The lessons are different - the balance is different.I&#039;ll come back and give you a counter argument for Point 12 shortly. I have to attend to something briefly.OK POINT 12 - I say increasing tax on rich does not affect jobs. The higher the income the more their money is spent outside their domicile country - holidays, overseas property. Taxation takes the money into &quot;federal&quot; control. That is then spent within the US - on infrastructure, on defence - or even as lower tax for low earners who spend on local goods and services. So taxing the rich helps the economy more than not taxing them. A counter argument to this is that the rich move out - but thats a matter of balance again when compared to other countries. But bear in m ind - most choose to remain in the US  and enjoy the benefits it offers . Lower tax countries are low for a reason  - they don&#039;t offer the same environment or other benefits.EDIT: Just read your updates. Regarding business tax. Businesses are in the the US because thats where their market is. It&#039; not just about tax rates. Businesses also consider the benefits of a legislative framework - what redress they have on unpaid debts for example. One of the central planks of Obamas policy is to tax the many US companies who continiue to do business in the US but have chosen to register their business outside US to avoid paying US taxes. For example, over 12000 US companies are now registered in the Cayman Islands yet 99% of their market is in US. They are simply re-registering their office, tax advisors told them to. They still do the same business in the US -but pay their tax to Cayman Is not US. Obama is going to close that loophole. The money will be taxed from where it is earned - not where it is accounted. All these companies are doing is aviding the tax they should legally pay. That puts them back on equal status with their competitors - often smaller companies - who have been unfairly put at a disadvantage. It doesn&#039;t mean jobs are lost. It actually encourages more investment - because only profits are  taxed. If they re-invest - they avoid tax. .I&#039;ve got to go out soon. I&#039;ll check this page later.EDIT: Yes - a &quot;paper office &quot; as you call it. Thats whats been happening. You can keep lowering taxes - but if they find a country with a lower tax - they move - or re-register. They can hop from the Bahamas to somehwere else for a 1% difference. Obama plans to change the tax point. If they&#039;ve done the business in the US they&#039;ll pay US taxes. They can keep their paper office - but there will be no point. It&#039;s been done in Europe where they had the same problem. Some of the finace companies still amnage to get round it - because they can &quot;earn&quot; moeny in the paper office. But manufacturing industries, service industries, distributive industries, retail businesses will no longer be able to avoid paying their legal tax contribution.BTW I also have been in business, corporate and private for 33 years  -  and points 29 and 30 we could never agree. Must go. Thanks..&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well done. At least you&#8217;ve researched it.
