Let's be honest with each other America, how can we waste so much time listening to nothing but nonsense coming from both sides. Biden and Palin both keep referring to the "Middle Class". Today in America if you're an average family with two kids and earn a combined household income of about $100,000 this is how you live. Please read the following info below, and if you can relate to these things then we all must agree that change is NEEDED NOW! * * 1) Lives Paycheck to Paycheck * * * 2) Able to lease or rent comfortable living conditions ** * 3) Has no money saved up for children's college education ** * 4) Has less than 1,000 on average in savings account ** * 5) Can afford to take one family vacation a year ** * 6) Goes out to dinner or movies no more than 4 times a year ** * 7) Gets less than 2,000 back from their income tax returns ** * 8) Cannot purchase home due to lack of credit and no money saved for down payment *Why is it that 95 % of Americans are labeled as middle class, It must suck really bad for those families all throughout the country who earn far less than $100,000. Tonight we just heard both Joe Biden and Sarah Palin fill our ears with a lot of words but neither party said anything that would make me want to vote for them. Both the democrats and republications are the cause of all these problems of late (Joe Biden admitted that at the beginning of the debate). The "bail-out" to me is only a safeguard for the rich and those who are "Wall Street" connected. We Americans must demand to the media that we want to hear from other parties beside democrats and republicans, also we must do our own research (do not believe what you hear when it comes to politics) If you really want to do something productive this evening please research the three other candidates that can really bring change to our country... Posted below are three great links, please read and vote for CHANGE! Nader / Gonzalez http://www.votenader.org/ Baldwin / Castle http://www.baldwin08.com/ McKinney / Clemente http://www.gp.org/
