I would vote for Obama for a number of reasons:
1. My first reason deals with taxes. Throughout the debates, Obama seems to be very confident about bringing about change. He plans on giving tax cuts for working families. This will provide 150 million workers the tax relief they need. He also plans on eliminating income taxes for seniors making less than $50,000 per year. This proposal will eliminate income taxes for 7 million seniors and provide these seniors with an average savings of $1,400 each year. Under the Obama-Biden plan, 27 million American seniors will also not need to file an income tax return. Obama also plans to simplify tax filings. If he succeeds then millions of Americans will be able to do their taxes in less than five minutes. Lower taxes results in more happy Americans.
2. My second reason deals with the war. I personally do not support the war. Billions of dollars is being wasted by this war. Obama opposed this war from the beginning. If Obama becomes president then there is a chance that the war may end. This will also lead to the withdrawal of U.S. troops. After that the U.S. government can focus on the economic crisis we are having. However, if McCain is elected, there is a chance that the war will not end in the near future. More U.S. troops will be lost and more families will be sad. Economic problems will continue and more people will become angry.
3. My third reason deals with healthcare. Maintaining one's health is crucial to keeping up with his/her work. With this in mind, I plan on voting for the candidate that will benefit me the most in healthcare. The Obama-Biden plan provides affordable, accessible health care for all Americans. It is built on the existing health care system, and uses existing providers, doctors and plans to carry out the plan. Under this plan, patients will be able to make health care decisions with their doctors, instead of being blocked by insurance company bureaucrats. This modification in health care will allow all Americans to have comprehensive benefits despite one's health status or history. Drug costs will be lowered by allowing the importation of safe medicines from other developed countries. Furthermore, drug prices will be lowered by increasing the use of generic drugs in public programs and taking on drug companies that block cheaper generic medicines from the market. I will soon be on my own in the world and I want to be able to afford medicine in case I get sick.
