With this "government shutdown" threat, it's a surprise that we're all not panicking. To get out of our little deficit, Obama wants to cut the taxes on the rich folk. It probably is the best plan I have heard in the longest time. My global studies teacher Mr. Maley has been ranting repeatedly about how corrupt our government officials are. When officials can take bribes and do all the things that they are paid to keep other people from doing, then you know that our government is corrupt. But anyway, the rich haven't had tax cuts because the rich pay the government to influence things like tax cuts. Mr. Maley also says that the top 5% of the population controls 25% of the salary and the top 10% controls 50%. So the rest of us 90% have to split the rest. This never made sense to be, and at least someone has realized this. Obama has a lot of little tricks up his sleeve and now more than ever are the democrats and the republicans at odds. I don't think I've ever noticed more extremists than as of late. I'm an intense liberal, if it hasn't been noticed and I am absolutely for Obama's latest little scheme.

Finally! I'm not a hater on all the rich people, it's more of the corrupt government officials I hate. Our country needs to shape up and start trying to do what needs to be done, rather than constantly argue and bribe.
