Can't please everyone
It is obvious, long before I even get my name on the ballot, that no matter what happens in government, you can't please everyone. Most of the time it is us who are not pleased. The failed health care, government preparing to default on it's massive loans. Those who are pleased....banks and auto industries that the gov't bailed out; big business that garners tax incentives and pays pennies while failed CEO's parachute away with untold millions; current politicians who have their hands in the pockets of every American while coddling to Big Business. If Corporations are people, then we should tax them as such. If we initiated a 10% flat tax, across the board, taking less from average Americans and more from those who have not been paying, there would be more money coming in to pay our Gov't's debts, and we wouldn't need to withhold soldiers pay and threaten veteran programs...just to name a few programs facing the axe with our current administration. We need to keep big business away from Government and out of politicians pockets.

Pleasing everyone is NOT the goal. The goal is to keep in focus the health of the greater good. IF the greater good means that big business needs to be put in their place and the middle class Americans get the true attention they deserve... then so be it. There will always be critics who will nit pick and get in your face to distract the masses from what really is important. The health of our economy and the people as a whole supersede most anything else. The people have been pushed to the back burner, well, until the gov't needs more funds then we are asked to pay for their extravagance.
