Floyd Morrow, Taxes, and Elections
In local news, Democratic San Diego mayoral candidate Floyd Morrow appeared on These Days this morning. Mr. Morrow pulled no punches with the interview, and was rather scathing in his attack on the corruption, in his eyes, of some of the other candidate's campaigns. He also spoke wanting a city-wide health care system as a stepping stone to universal health care. Once again, I still can say nothing bad about this candidate. He wants affordable housing, to help the people of the county, and isn't being shoved in my face by the mass media. Overall, it was an interesting interview.
In other news, Hillary Clinton and John McCain are both urging for the 18 cents of taxes to be removed from gasoline for the tax season. Well, today they heard about it from economists around the world. All of them screamed, "NO! What are you thinking!?"
At first, I was perplexed by this. I mean, I want cheap gasoline. Then I read their reasons, and I could see their main point --that we'd never SEE this price cut, and the 'tax cut' would just equal to higher profits for oil companies. Can I have a hydrogen or electric car now, please? Pretty please?
In a surprising turn of events, ABC News took a page from the Daily Show and wrote an almost satirical article about the Democratic Presidential candidates for president. Personally, I both love and hate this ongoing election fight. But, it still angers me that ALL of this could be pointless, and Hillary Clinton could just be 'appointed' by Superdelegates, no matter what voters say. Because, in the end, that is what I predict what will happen.
Bad, bad Democratic Party! Remember 2000? Remember George W. Bush being 'appointed' to the office of president, and your anger over that? Why on earth are you going to allow this to happen to your OWN party!? Why!? Can anyone explain to this outsider how this could be justified?
