saw a 99% and Obama bumper sticker on the same car

deprave said:

so what has obama done to address the primary concern of the 99%'ers (money as speech, corporations in politics, etc...)?

seems to me he has only done the opposite, in fact continued to support this, appointing people like Tim Geitner etc...It seems obama would be one of the primary opponents of the 99%'ers actually.

still waiting... Why would a 99%'er support obama when he did absolutely nothing regarding their agenda?

Anyone?

Corporatism is caused by government intervention in the markets IMHO. Regulations are what allow corporations to take over markets creating barriers for entry. Therefore, liberals create the income inequality gap through promoting more regulations and the Republicans do the same thing but pander that they don't. Free markets will close the income gap and decentralize markets.

believe it or not, most people aren't fucking crazy loons. I see occasional Mitt Romney bumper stickers speed past me recklessly and occasionally I see an Obama one driving recklessly slower than all the other traffic. It is rare however.

so pay equality is not on the agenda for the 99%? middle class tax cuts? more people insured? better access to higher education? because obama has done all these things.

Winter Woman said:

If he owns those tax cuts NOW, he owns the shitty economy then too. Seems fair to me.

Obama's economic mess. Yep, sounds right.

If you could actually tell me why I am wrong that would be great.

He hasn't done much, but any Democrat is better for the middle class in comparison to a Republican. That's just how it is....democrats pander towards the poor and middle class while republicans pander the the rich and religious

You don't get credit for that until we get proof that it happened.

I believe we got Bin Laden and give Obama credit for making the call. If that's criteria for the next president though there's an entire seal team that needs to cut in line.

It appears to be a matter of philosophy. Free marketeers believe that a free market is a stable, self-sustaining, even self-reinforcing condition. Others believe that a market's natural tendency is to become unfree, to breed and fight empire builders against each other until the market, and its host society, are authoritarian. I hold with scenario B. I believe that option A is utopian, predicated on a basic misread of human psychology. i would not mind being proven wrong ... but am not confident of that happening. cn

I'm in that 99% percent..My agenda was healthcare..Obama helped with that..also he made it very easy for me to get a grant for my business. My wife loves the fair pay act. Being a Veteran I like that he added 4 billion+ to the Veterans Admin budget. My mother and wife (RN) likes how he lowered the cost of prescription drugs ( almost by half )..My momz works as a teacher for mentally disabled children so she really appreciated the Disabilities Education Act ( added over 12 billion ). Don't know about you but I do like his Credit Card reform. Hell we needed some restrictions on INCREASE of interest rates and the preying on our college kids with credit cards..Hell I know I have more wonderful things to say about our POTUS. Let me know if you need more.

Im a 99%'er. My whole research team was laid off, including myself, due to the republicans agenda to cut all federal appropriations known as "earmarks." Our grant was an appropriation to help the state of Hawai'i progress its aqauculture industry. I lost my health care...and know I have it back due to Obamacare.

At least some people are giving proper answers now but big problem is your lying, you don't have health insurance YET as a result Obamacare unless you had a pre-existing condition and were denied for medicaid, in which case you probably had healthcare and more than likely alos heal insurance...and yea london your going to need to be more specific.

do tell what I need to be more specific about ??? Hell everything I named you can go look it up..Now you tell me why Ron Paul waste your time running Republican when he knew he would not get the nod. How is that helping if he can't get elected to even represent his party..WTF. If he had ran independent his hope and dream would still be alive, but NO he ran is a race the he knew he could not win.... again how is that helping ????

The law changed to 26 years old, after which you cant be on your parents health care, im 24.

So no, im not lying.

lol Lou, that provision was one of the very few republican ideas. It's also an idea that allowed insurance companies to collect fees from an age group that generally doesn't use insurance.

Not sure you can give Obama credit for that one because it was in most of the republican health care bills that were submitted.
