There's far more important things than guns.
The economy (including immigration), healthcare, social security all trump gun control. That's not my opinion, that's common sense fact.

To me, it's who can take care of these issues best.

Economy: I want a crackdown on employers who hire illegals giving them no incentive to be here.

Healthcare: I want national healthcare.

Social Security: It obvouisly needs to be fixed but not nessisarily in the next 10 years if other things (ie immigration and healthcare) are stressed first.

As far as taxes is concerned, I think there needs to be some reform - in particular with writeoffs and capital gains (in the form of stocks being given as income bonuses). You have multi-millionares paying far less taxes than even working class families.
I'm almost tempted to support a flat 7-10% tax with no writeoffs. That falls into the catagory that most people pay anyway and it will allow for the rich to pay their fair share without weasling out of it.

I don't think the realestate housing crisis is being handled very well. No question, homeowners and banks have both been the cause of this. The solution is not giving assistance.
If someone is not able to afford their house, they need to sell it and move into something more affordable. Bottom line.

For my view of what's best for America, it leads me to Hillary Clinton.
