I'm not sure we have the right strategy in Afghanistan. Let me think this over for a few months.
Barack ObamaMy tax plan will cut taxes for 95 percent of workers, because we need to put money back into the pockets of struggling middle-class families and close the egregious tax loopholes that have exploded over the last eight years. My plan eliminates capital gains taxes entirely for the small businesses and start-ups that are the backbone of our economy, as opposed to John McCain's plan, which would tax these businesses. John McCain is running to serve out a third Bush term. But the truth is, when it comes to taxes, that's not being fair to George Bush.
Barack ObamaLet's also say that the Justice Department and the courts are making sure, as I've said in a speech before, that when Jamal sends his rรฉsumรฉ in, he's getting treated the same as when Johnny sends his rรฉsumรฉ in.Now, are we going to have suddenly the same number of CEOs, billionaires, etc., as the white community? In 10 years? Probably not, maybe not even in 20 years. But I guarantee you that we would be thriving, we would be succeeding. We wouldn't have huge numbers of young African American men in jail.
