"...obvious we winn not have enough money to pay for these thigns."  <---Total bullshit.

Ahh I see! Since you say he can't afford the things hes promising, your opinion is better than economist and others who have actually looked into the issue and balanced the books right?

Your opinion is based on speculation and not facts. Will he raise taxes? He might. But the same could be said about McCain. Do we have any evidence he will raise taxes? No. So why speculate on something (and only do it against Obama).

And if push comes to shove and we need to raise taxes, wouldn't you want him to make the best decision? Taxes aren't the biggest issue. Taxes are your way of investing in America, and in times of crisis, we need to bunker down.

And also, the reason we DON'T need to raise taxes for middle class is because 65% of the nations wealth already resides in the upper 10% of our wealth brackets. This is just the classic conservative bullshit. "Could Obama raise taxes?" "Could Obama be a terrorist?" "Could Obama make the wrong decisions when it comes to foreign policy?" Any candidate "could" do these things, but there are not signs that he will.

Whoa. I don't want to "bunker down" and give the American government more money any more than I want to dump my savings into General Motors right now.

If a system is full of shit, you don't just throw more money at it in hopes of it magically righting itself.

I understand peoples hesitation when it comes to government trust, but that means that we have a problem with our government and not taxes. I mean, to me the government should be on our side. Its our way to unite against those companies who can end up being too powerful.

If we have someone in office who has no person gain in mind and is really concentrated on the American people, I have no problem whatsoever giving them my money. They protect us, they provide stability, and they take our money and invest in our countries future. If we have a better organizes less corrupt government i would happily pay even more taxes.
