People that make this type of argument seem to have no issues with the way things are going but complain about the way things are going. From the looks of it people on both ends of the income spectrum are pushing this concept. It doesn't mean it will work but as a small business owner making less than 200,000 I don't see any harm in trying it. I don't believe in trickle-down economics but in the end we have to try something. Irregardless of what plan is offered someone will find something wrong it. The morale is that there's no "perfect" plan as it's all a test and as far as I'm concerned everything from this point forward is a test. The government bailing out the companies, a good idea, but it was a test and we're still waiting to see what good will come from it. Obama's plan for change is a test. That other guys' plans are stagnent and represent the same failures that got us to this point.
In the end I say vote for Nader or Obama as they both "supposedly" represent "Change".
