Like I said, I'm not an expert on this subject, but isn't part of Obama's plan to give more tax cuts? I understand he wants to stop giving tax cuts to the wealthy, but from reading what you wrote, they have "accumulated so much wealth" it doesn't matter. If he intends to stop giving tax cuts to the wealthy and instead give them to the middle and lower classes, that seems like a good plan, according to what you wrote.

I personally don't mind paying taxes, if I know they're being used for things I care about. Like gas tax; my state recently raised it, but I really don't care since I hate driving on bad roads, and I know that's what the money is being used for.

I also know that Obama voted NO towards a bill to reduce federal spending, but looking into that bill, there are a couple of things that they wanted to reduce spending on that I really hated to see there, and am glad he voted No towards that. One of the things they wanted to reduce was Student Loans. Any time someone tries to reduce money put towards education, I'm going to be against that. That is a short term solution for a problem.

My state recently tried to raise the tuition of all public universities by an outrageous amount, and at the same time cut down the amount of money they were giving on scholarships and grants.
EDIT: I just realized how dumb that sounded. They weren't raising the tuition, they were dramatically cutting the funding they were giving to public universities, which meant Universities had to raise their tuition dramatically. Not to mention my campus parking pass went up 40 dollars! It's $232 a year to park. >:|

I have very close friends who could not be in college right now without this kind of help, and a spike in tuition and a decrease in government help would pretty much mean they would have to drop out, in effect ruining their lives. This might save some money now, but it only hurts more in the long run.

EDIT: Another quick edit, Jon McCain voted yes on that same bill, which is another reason I will never vote for him. Anyone who considers cutting that much money towards Education is not going to have my vote.
