Taxes will be on the rise across America for at least the next 4 years! Is this what the American people was hoping for in the way of change?

    I have said and heard it said that “change” is all you will have left in your pocket if Obama were to be elected. He has already stated his plan to bankrupt the coal industry. I posted this on 11/2 in under

    Obama will bankrupt the coal industry and then everyone else.

  • Where I’m coming from!

    As a person that's been around the country and seen what America was and now what she has became makes me sick. I keep up with the news and what's going on and try to state my opinion of the way I feel about the U.S. Government and the way it's dictating our every day personal lives. I'm not a conservative or am I a liberal, just call me a good American citizen that will vote for the person based on their past history. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy the post I make.
