Do you really believe that it will make any difference who gets into
office? If you look back on the previous 30 years there has been
nothing done in either party that helped the average American. 

Believe me, I am a proud American, but all politicians are, or will be
when in office for a time, self seeking, and out of touch with the
real world. Take a look at the tax laws today. If you do scrutinize
them and read between the lines, you will see that loopholes have been
installed for the politician's. Example - Look at the proposed changes
in the one time excemption for relief of capital gains amounts on the
sale of property. Look at the writing of the old one and it is
obvious.
