Future of America

Bill Clinton was the best President America has ever had. During his years there was the highest increase in Wealth in American history. The poor moved closer and closer to middle class the middle class became rich and the rich got richer. Even thought they were paying higher taxes go figure right.
The Movement to a universal health care is a must. The broken system we have doest work. In this day and age there SHOULD NEVER be a choice like shall I feed my kids the best food I can purchase or pay health care. Conservatives talk about less government, I don't know who they're kidding but as you can see, average Americans are on now the terror watch list. They even track me for my constant travels from America to Canada and back. Like a wise book once said "Big Brother is watching" The government is always monitoring your calls, and you can't even freely express your freedom of speech which is in violation of our constitutional right as an American. By making universal health care Republicans call it "Democrats chance to make more Government" but isn't. Americans would sacrifice more government, in return to not pay for health care. Think of the possibilities if we didn't have to pay for our healthcare. The jump start that a universal healthcare would have on America is similar to that of when someone is on steroids. The New York Times reported that we spend $477 Billion dollars a year on health care. If you divide that number by American population that would put $1,538 a year into every Americans pocket, all 310 Million of them PER YEAR. Imagine what that would do to the economy. On another note During the Clinton years the MIDDLE CLASS PAYED LESS TAXES. PRESIDENT BUSH ACTUALLY WENT AGAINST HIS WORD AND RAISED THE TAXES ON MIDDLE CLASS WHILE THE RICH HAD THEIR TAXES REDUCED.
The reason terrorism is thriving is that we are invading the Muslim lands, they want us off it and we just don't get the hints they are demonstrating to us. For example we have many military basses throughout the Middle East and in the world for that matter. Now ask yourself this why it that no other country has a military base in America. Why must America police the world, when we are suffering at home? Why should America use its resources to protect these countries like Germany, England, and France for example why do they need our protection. They are plenty strong to protect themselves. If America could for once mind its own business like in the golden age of America (aka Clinton years) and only react to world crisis's the world would be a better place. The terrorists would stop inflicting terror upon America and its allies.
America is no longer the solo super power country of the world. Now Russia and China have come into the picture, military wise, and the European Union economically. We need to send our brave men and women home to protect our borders, things that matter to Americans. The amount of money the American government spends on operations in other counties is astronomical. We need to concentrate on our selves, build up Americans infrastructure, become energy independent, create more jobs, and stimulate our economy, to once again reclaim our role in leading the world to a better future.
Now ask yourself this why is that all foreign countries hate Americans? It is because they view us as being like our President. The automatically assume that we want to change their countries and force our views down their throats.
Bill Clinton was America's best president his only fault was his personal life. Hopefully Barack Obama can fill the gap and fix what President Bush has done with the country. For example there are records of Bush senior giving bush junior businesses to run for him. He bankrupted them don't let America be the last. Barack Obama doest have that much experience but he will get his filling as the NEXT PRESIDENT OF AMERICA.
