I’ll come right out and say it: President Obama gave one of the best speeches of his career and the Congress heard one of the best State of the Union addresses in recent memory. Financial pragmatism and responsibility were main themes.
A tax code that allows for millionaires to pay less of a percentage of their income in taxes than the lower and middle class is a broken tax code. The middle class needs a tax cut while the wealthy need to pay their fair share.
Republicans want badly to return to the regulatory code that helped cause the 2008 financial crisis. We cannot allow a return to the way things were before, because otherwise we risk another financial crisis and recession.
The bankers who caused the crisis are going to be held responsible for their actions. The success of the Attorney General is imperative in creating a strong future – not a single banking executive went to jail for his role in the financial crisis, yet we’re prosecuting people like Martha Stewart and Roger Clemens.
President Obama effectively laid out a third way of American politics last night. He’s gone beyond liberal or conservative and managed to start a national conversation toward the real goal: solving problems.
Will you go beyond ideology to solve our country’s problems?
Beautifully stated..thank you!
After the last 3 years of watching the GOP fight everything good that Obama tried, I questioned who are they serving? It’s not the people. The office of the President has never been represented this well in a long time. They Obama really touched people with his message. They need to all work together and grow this country.
