The problem, I think, is that neither candidate is going to help the middle-class working American. Let alone the sitting-duck pensioner. If I were American I simply wouldn't vote this time around. It just encourages them.

Corporate America already has the tax breaks and won't be losing them in my lifetime because it can relocate and can even take the jobs away from America entirely, as it has done. There are those who think the likes of GM and Microsoft are going to hand over millions of additional tax Dollars without emitting a squeak, when there is scope for even more of their production to be shifted overseas.

What I hear from Obama is how he intends to provide for the poor and needy. Anyone who thinks he is getting that money from Bill Gates and Donald Trump needs a reality check.

I don't consider people who study and work hard to be "lucky" either, but I lived in the UK with socialist governments who regarded anyone with an income as "lucky" and saw my business as a store to be raided in order to provide, not just for the incapable, but the lazy. This is where the UK is today and I am glad to be out of it.
