Hey! Stop giving credit to Obama and give it to where it belongs ... to Prez Bush. He already announced BEFORE Obama was elected, that the US troops will be out of Iraq by the middle of 2010!!

So, stop being hypocritical. Obama now wants to take the credit for Bush's triumph.

The "rich" have been paying taxes through the nose...you must be thinking of the relatively small number of people who collect multi-million dollar bonuses... that ones that the media are obsessed with. You need to educate yourself. If you think making $250,000 makes you rich, you better hope that you live in the right state/city - because the cost of living varies. Making that much money and living in Manhattan is not the same thing as making that much money living in Boise. And by the way, our 5 person household paid 50% of our income in taxes last year...that means working for 6 months (and working darn hard) to pay the government so that we can try to make a better life for our kids. Most "rich" people have earned their money through hard work and sacrifice - not inheritance. "RICH" is an over-used and deceptive label. Here's a stat for you: The Top 50% of earners pay 96.54% of All Income Taxes (The top 1% pay more than a third: 34.27%).

Ella,

The "rich" already pay 90% of the taxes how is that a free ride. The "rich" also create jobs so with less money they will create less or no jobs please tell me how does that help anyone?

I hope you're kidding. A $3,000,000,000,000 budget? For one year? For what? I can't wait to see the pie chart on this one. Entitlement programs and interest - 70%+. Our government has become the engine for redistribution of wealth, from the middle class, to rich and poor.

It can't last people. The middle class will either go broke or revolt, or both. Hopefully soon enough to save our children's futures.

This isn't about Reps vs. Dems. It's about the Feds vs. We The People...

ARE YOU PEOPLE KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ELLA-913106 Just how do you think all this "free" stuff gets paid for?????????????????????????? By the so hated by you "Rich" people. When half the people don't pay taxes it is left to the other half to pay for everyone. The government takes and takes and takes and pretty soon those so called rich people don't have it any more. Today is such an instant gratification society. We are handed everything and expect more. We are in this economic mess because of ourselves. Everyone needs to STOP blaming Bush and the banks and look in their own backyards. We have to take responsiblity or we are never going to get out of this mess. MORE GOVERNMENT IS NOT THE ANSWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
