AmyO don't get carried away now. I heard the conversation in an actual debate between Hilary and Barack it aired on 890 WLS out of chicago and I am just pointing out the opposite is also true you don't need to be a lawyer to legislate I think it takes all kinds of people to govern not just one profession. I know lawyers who are full of truth, common sense and smarts as well as knowing people who don't have any fancy degree that are as equally full of truth, common sense and smarts. I think having one view point that says only lawyers make good politicians or the oppisite saying that no lawyer should be a politician is elitest thinking on either side and I for one would like to see term limits and campign funding limits allowing a more diverse and varying opportunties for more people to govern

AmyO you are so right about having a lawyer who is knowledgeable about the topics being what is best for us to be governed by. In one of the debates with Obama and Clinton they asked both candidates about the capital gains tax. The first question to Obama was why do we have taxes? and he said to raise revenues for financing the government. Then they said to him why do you want to raise that tax to over 20% when history proves that when that rate is low more revenues are generated and when it is raised to over the 20% mark total collected revenues drop. Which of course is the opposite affect of what tax is really meant to do! Obama then went on to say that it is only fair to raise the tax to over 20% regardless of what happens to revenue. So you are so right a common sense person could never understand something as complicated as setting a tax rate for maximum revenues verses based on setting a tax rate based on fairness because after all it is so much more fair for people to pay 20-25% on capital gains tax then to pay 12-15% even though we have diminishing revenues.

Having commen sense, being smart, honest and trustworthy and doing what is right for the country has nothing to do with what type of degree you have attached to your name. Some of the most wise and successful people that I have meet in my life have only had a 8th grade education. Telling me that all politicians need to be people with law degrees is just plain crazy as Hilary would say it takes a village to raise a child same with our government it should be governed from all aspects and vocations as well as education levels

Get ready folks to pay more than that, I have been paying about $3.60 a gallon for the cheap stuff down here in Northwest Indiana for the last few weeks and I am sure it will be much higher soon.

The only change you will see is what's left of your paycheck after the government taxes you for every social program under the sun including universal healthcare

Does anyone know if the store closed as the story implies due to the lack of funds and if it gets the $6200 how long is it that it can remain open?
