The news wire reports are filling with stories about companies preparing to do layoffs, or firings, or divestments in preparation for a potential Obama/Obiden administration, so as to survive the promised socialistic tax policies they will be bringing an enacting on a gullible (for those who refuse to acknowledge) population. We have already begun our own preparations as well, exploring and setting up new pretax investments to reduce our income status below the thieving levels to return at the expiration of the Bush tax cuts (provided the liberal Democrats retain majority in the Congress, and regardless of who wins the Presidency). Simply put, we personally cannot afford the likely tax increases promised by Congressional incompetency or Obamaic socialism...

Even if the Republicans regain Congressional control, they still have to pass a bill in the House, then approved or compromised with the Senate, then signed by the President, to make our tax cuts permanent... but that will still be next year SOMEtime...

All this from the government who supposedly thinks it is taking care of us. Please, all you politicians... stop making so many promises we cannot afford...
