7. economics, and a bit of foreign policy

As i see it in my time in the private sector (i own a small restaurant) with the lower taxes thanks to W's tax cuts, i was able to employ 7 more people, who in turn could then afford a better health coverage, without me having to pay for it, and not being able to hire at all. Part of the iraq war i supported. I didnt like how it was handled, they caused as much damage as they did good. Saddam needed to be removed, he was killing millions of his people. But i didnt like how it was handled. As the most powerful country in the world, i think it falls on us to atleast try to keep the peace in the world, getting rid of saddam would have helped, but killing innocent iraqi citizens was not what i supported.
