What would you ask if you had the chance?
Presidential debate #2 is Tuesday night in Nashville, Tennessee.
It's a Town Hall format, and even though we won't be there, we wanted to get your take on what questions you'd ask about the economy if you had the chance.

kai, my question for the "straight talk express" is this; when are you going to start calling tax "cuts" what they are; government "spending" aimed at a particular group who wouldn't otherwise be rewarded by the free market. its just spending-on tax cuts. period.
(we could go into opportunity cost discussion or illustrate whats happened to the deficit since bush the incompetent was appointed king until death (our death, not his)if you want, but thats a secondary issue)
-the very SAME free market the republicans think is just peachy-keen in rewarding people with no help whatsoever from a proverbial free hand, yet use a political fist to squash any equitable distribution for the folks who cant afford tax advisors, lobbyists or an escort service to cajole, back slap and otherwise bribe lowly paid congress people to pass bills they dont understand in return for a chance to dance with the stars for a night.
why they oughta be ashamed of themselves....
if they had any shame in 'em that is.
mccain can try rationalizing or explaining away why tax cuts he supported overwhelmingly go the richest 0.1% of all taxpayers rather than the "bottom" 99.9% of we dupes.
oh, he'll go into some bullshit argument about class warfare (its fair to steal but not call the police in mccains opinion i guess) but you need to pin him down and not pull a gwen ifil -and give him an earfull.
blue skies....
