This gap is creating more poor people in the USA and with tax codes and Republican budgets like Paul Ryan's the future of the middle class and poor is more desperate as we try to make ends meet. We are retired so live in the uncertainty that our money will last depending on the changes in social security and medicare.

Both sides of the political aisle seems to think that businesses need tax incentives to create jobs. They're both wrong. Businesses don't need tax incentives OR relaxed credit...they need enough orders to warrant hiring more people.

In today's global economy, without post-secondary education young people have an extremely high chance of becoming destitute, then marginalized and a real burden for the entire society at some point in their lives. At a time when unemployed have created for the first time a Union of their own let's create the conditions to eliminate unemployment. Learning at least one trade which will enable them to be immediately productive for the society should be free of charge and compulsory. Instead of having tax-payers money allocated for unemployment and welfare (which are largely the effects of poor education) why not pay for eliminating the root-cause?

The amount of money being spent on State and Federal Campaigns is obscene after the passage of the Supreme Court Ruling which allowed Corporations to be "people". These Super PACS are spending monies that could be better spent on education, infrastructure, police/firemen salaries and yet these corporations are the first to say NO when asked to increase state and local budgets.

The worst forms of bigotry I have seen in this country is not of racial but in the form of bigotry toward religion and people with less money. These are forms of hate crimes in what they often manifest into such as favoritism and discrimination. These are forms of ignorance that need to be redirected by teaching correct way of treating each other. Eradicate bigotry as it is seperating people in our society.

Veteran's exposed to radiation that have contracted several cancers, diseases and many health issues. Their families and offspring are also victims. We are grossly ignored by our government. We are off the list for service related disabilities, and have been awarded a Humanitarian medal, but we have to prove that we were there. 42 Nuclear weapons were tested on the Islands & will never be safe. Foreign Nationals and the Residents there have been compensated, but not the U.S. Troops.

We had a level 1 tornado blow thew our community last year and our mortgage bank want release the money until we finish all the work. It is our money, we pay the premiums and the insurance company payed for the repairs but we had to come up with all the money before the bank will release OUR funds.

Should those ineligible to vote in an election be allowed to influence that election through financial aid, advertizing or promoting a party to the election or an issue in the election?

If corporations are deemed to be People they should then be taxed as People at the same rate.

Choosing a U.S. President who can effectively lead a coalition government.

I am 63 and have been challenged and affected by recessions a few times in my life, my husband too. Now that we are passed that stage doesn't mean we don't care. We want good jobs for all Americans and especially for the young people coming up so that they can finish school, get married, start families if they wish. This truly is about the middle class choosing a good life over despair. Please stand together and ask Congress and the Senate to pass the American Jobs Act that President Obama sent to them 10 months ago.
