OT: Rating the President

[rextorres]

Herbert Hoover didn't do anything during the depression, because governments role was to "stay out of the way" and he's blamed for making the depression worse.

Besides there is an assumption that "taxing the rich" is a redistribution of wealth or is some sort of hand out for the poor. You know what taxes pay for and it's not welfare. All you guys that support a millionaire subsidy still haven't said what sort of things you'd cut from the budget to pay for it - which btw is why we have a deficit because the resident doesn't have the leadership to cut anything either.
