I don't think Hillary or Barrack will necessarily fix what is ailing the country economically, but I do think they would make major improvements.

They would raise taxes through the roof. EVERYONE would suffer.
They claim it would be 'only on the rich' but that's not true.
They recently voted to raise taxes* for anyone making $37,000 a year or more. That's right - $37,000. That's not rich.
We all would have less money and less money means less spending power. And that means a WORSE economy.
There is no 'right place' to raise taxes.
As was said earlier - Obama or Hillary would just push it along faster.
(*raise taxes = take away tax cuts - that's a tax raise)

Us Americans understand the need to pay for services. It's a simple concept.
What torques me to no end, is the lack of accountability, the bureaucracies that develop around a particular program. And a horrible lack of results.
We have very little say in how our tax dollars are spent.
Unless we belong to a special interest group (a lobbyist).
And you know who funds those groups right?

That really is no help at all. What this country needs is for someone to raise the minimum wage up to a an acceptable standard of living.
