On the move..
Whilst moving from Straenraer to Belfast I found this great article -http://www.thefiscaltimes.com/Columns/2011/07/22/Barack-Obama-The-Democrats-Richard-Nixon.aspx. Worth the read.

My Lazy Opinion
Instead of writing something that expresses my views on the matter read this. It comfortably states my opinion on the matter of "Bibi goes to Washington (again)."

Reality Check
Read the whole article here:
Since Obama was inaugurated, the Dow Jones has increased more than 50% -- from 8,000 to more than 12,000; the wealthiest recieved a massive tax cut; the top marginal tax rate was three times less than during the Eisenhower years and substantially lower than during the Reagan years; income and wealth inequality are so vast and rising that it is easily at Third World levels; meanwhile, "the share of U.S. taxes paid by corporations has fallen from 30 percent of federal revenue in the 1950s to 6.6 percent in 2009."
