***Musiqsoul steps off the perfect 75 degree weather beach in his home in The Bahamas, fires up the lappy top, to inter the fray..*in hopes people hear him out even though he aint no American***
Well Lookey what we have here...I was wondering when this was going to surface here. Well if im allowed to voice my opinion, i have to say that my family members that are American have voted all across the divide for both candidates with the edge going to Obama
Here's the thing in my outside looking in view
:
I like Both, but i feel Obama's youth is showing and he needs to now focus more on the issues, yes, talk change, but tell me how you will bring about the change more often.
Now Barack's Oratative skills are as we black folk say "off the hizzy" yes but im hearing the same things from him over and over like a robot! Sorry dude lets get the issues out there more offten along with the motivation, but all in all I think he's genuine.
Now here's what Irked me and my American family members about Hillary and i can see why:
We talked back and forth alot as they asked me questions about the issues and how i felt seeming i keep up with US politics, and news around the world (and becuase they know i have a finance degree with a minor in Accounting so im an excelent numbers cruncher, who with my job does a lot off freelance work for major corprations)
People think we'll have the days of Bill's 90's party back but I gatta tell ya, not so fast, someone mentioned the the treaties and policies Bill signed which is still reverberating today. Take Naafta for instance, while its good, but the dark cloud is this, lets look at a benefit of the free trade agreement naafta provided by tearing down tarriffs and the trade barriers between the US, Mexico and Canada, a direct boost for the agricultural industry, problem? One underlying factor nobody but a number cruncher would inevitably see : American Farmers and companies are competing with South American Farmers and companies for American businesses on an open scale and guess what they have better produce, better Chiquita Bananas, better grapes, and so on at better prices, meaning they'll get the "lions share" of the business, and have been getting it, putting American farmers at a competative lost since this thing has been signed, now you search Naffta, you'll read how so good it is, how it benefits and the good its done, but the smoke screen is there for the economist and numbers people who know the deal, now granted Bill is not running and Hillary is but watch how this plays out..... This is one of many things that made Bill popular with Latinos and the latin community, Hillary is winning the vote of the Latinos, and it aint just for her immigration stance, and what more, the thing is you have the majority of Latins voting for her based on just popularity...hmmmm...
More decisions like this will happen if or when she gets in power, where you smoke screen your policies looking like its great for the people but in the end the long term benefit is for me myself and I, now lets look at the Health Care Hillary touts:
She wants to make it, and I quote "Universal" for all Americans to afford, but watch this....the word Universal is a bad word when you read between the lines, to see what she's really saying. "Universal" will transform and morph into the word "Mandatory" Well ya know me, lets look at the numbers:
To do this she must work with her finance commitee to find a formula that would withold a portion of all salaries to reserve for the Health care plan, where maybe you pay a percentage accordint to the salary you make, which would then mean low income pays a lower percentage and as you go up in salalry you pay a greater percentage, and if you pay a greater percentage you get better healthcare? NO everybody will get the same benefits accross the board...and that wont sit well with many Americans, but it will be Mandatory in that sence that employers will be required to extract this percentage to pay the Gov. and Uneversal for the fact that the medic aid will be across the board. thats just one scenario.
it could be the other way around, but my suggestions for the other primaries coming up after yesterday is to really know the facts, and hear what each candidate means when they say what they say.
I could disclose more info but this is enough to chew on.. I'd actually not Vote for any of them.
Maybe Huckabee
