Default Why will McCain be abetter president than Bush?

Lets face it, Bush's ratings are really low. How will McCain be better than Bush? If it is more of the same, it does not sound good enough thus state how he will be a better president.

McCain is not betrothed to the religious right like Bush, so I would expect not to see things like Bush's unilateral gift of $1 billion to mostly Christian churches through the Faith Based Initiatives program--perhaps the greatest piece of welfare that was never talked about. I also believe McCain is smarter, more tactful, and a better speaker than Bush. Beyond that, there may not be much difference.

Most people are better than Bush (except Obama and Hilary). You will see some of the same principles, but I believe he would do a better job.

Even though I don't like him at all, the tax cuts are a nice plus...as opposed to obama, who's going to rob citizens even more.

I don't mean to be a pessimist but I think the next 4 years are going to be uglier than the last 8 regardless of who gets elected.

I think Obama will run circles around McCain, because he's a lot sharper and McCain looks too mean and serious. The truth doesn't matter. Only how they look matters, and what kind of image they can paint. I don't even think McCain can paint.

You're wrong, and I'd be willing to bet, though the determining factors will doubtless be highly subjective.

Doesn't matter who is President oil prices are going to bring the worlds economy to a abrupt stop before you know it and it will happen in Europe first and the U.S. will be right behind them, not to mention the world wide food crisis that goes along with it.

Rob the citizens even more? If you mean the higher taxes on wealthier Americans and the tax cuts for middle class working American families, then I could not disagree with you more.
The wealthy class in America owes it to the country to give back in this time of crisis. After all, it is America that has helped you attain your riches.

Errrrrr wrong, thank you for playing.

America provides an environment to succeed and that is it. Unless you're a trust fund baby, you have to bust your a$$ to become wealthy. The wealthy already pay their share of taxes (35%) and then some.

0 - 8 ,025 10%
8,025 - 32,550 15%
32,550 - 78,850 25%
78,850 - 164,550 28%
164,550 - 357,700 33%
357,700 and over 35%

So if someone makes $30k vs. $400k a year that's a difference in $4.5K vs. $140k in taxes paid.

The top 10% of Wage earners already pay 65% of America's federal taxes.

So you want them to pay even more then their fair share?
