You don't consider Anthrax mailings to Congress and attack or American soil huh?

Big companies PAY lots of taxe and lots of money to their workers.

Big companies also get lots of perks in the form of tax breaks, like GM in Tonawanda gets cheap power from Niagara Falls and you pay some of the highest electricity rates in the country. GM in Tonawanda also gets nice property tax breaks while yours go up every year.

If you have no companies, you have NO jobs, no taxes and no revenue for the government.

So are you incapable of employing yourself? OR starting your own small company and hiring someone else?

Liberals always pose/attack big companies as the bad guy.

And idiots always give them a pass while they are bending over.

I guess, if you'd rather sit of you lazy asses and collect welfare from hard working, blue collar Americans that work for big companies that your choice.

Let's see, that amounts to about 1 in 25 people these days. Clearly you are confused since the vast majority of work in Buffalo is governmental or subsidized by government.

Ecomonics 101 you "don't" rasie tarxes during a ecomonic slow down.

Really? So what's the problem in Erie County?

Obama has poor judgment and lacks character and expierence.

So what? It would still be an improvement over what we have today.

I came from a state (Illinois) that LOST over 270,000 manufacturing jobs, a lot of which were during Obama's terms in the senate there.

I'm not going to quibble with you over a mere 30,000 jobs.

By the way, having been a resident of Illinois, and nearly a life long factory worker there is why I will not vote for Obama. Not saying I'd vote for McCain, but I will not vote for Obama.

Excuse me. Did you ever happen to notice that those cities listed ALL have one thing in common? A DEMOCRATIC local government. Why do DEMOCRATIC local governments seem to ALWAYS top the list of the highest poverty/crime/unemployed??? The only cure will be for the populace to wakeup someday and boot these wealth transfering DEMOCRATS out of office.

That's very interesting! We all know when you subsidize something you get more of it. Thus subsidize socialism and welfare, get more in return.

Buffalo and Erie County government's have been operating under -R appointed Control Boards for some time.
