We need elected officials with integrity...do you know any?

Obama announces debt plan built on taxes on rich
Why are the Republicans so dead-set against taxing the rich?  This stand of theirs is so far out of line, even their beloved Reagan taxed the rich.  When Clinton was in office, there was a surplus when he left office.  Everyone was paying their fair share--how much money does Murdoch, the Koch brothers, etc. need?  This is pure greed on the part of the Republicans and the 'teabaggers".  

What is so perplexing to me is that many of the "teabaggers" are not wealthy people.  Are they still waiting for the "trickle down theory" to succeed.  History and statistics indicate that since Reagan, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, the "trickle down theory" does not work.

I was watching Jay Leno and he made a comment that he had no problem paying more taxes if it will help America get back on its feet.
Jobs have not been created by the rich corporations--this is what Boehner and his goons keep telling us.

Do you believe the Republican's plan is to keep big corporations and the rich from creating jobs to grow the economy?  I believe that the Republicans want our President to fail and not to not receive credit for turning the economy around under his presidency.

The Republicans couldn't win in 2008--now their plan is to change legislation like  Senate Bill 5 and House Bill 194 to make it difficult for voters to vote.  If you can't win fairly then they will cheat and do whatever it takes.

I believe we need a system of checks and balance.  Politicians are so corrupt today, they have been bought and paid for by the highest bidder.  What can we do to change the climate in Ohio and across the nation?  Why do voters continue to put people in office that are clearly not willing to put the Working Class above their own party.  
ka-sick told the voters, while running for office, of what he intended to do to the Middle Working Class, and yet the voters voted for him.  The Republicans are attempting to run the unions out business.  Why?  Because the unions have always supported the Democratic tickets. We have an uncaring political House and Senate who use their power to disenfranchise voters. We need politicians with integrity, even in adversity and when their colleagues are paying them a boat-load of cash, for their vote.
