With
recent President George W. Bush, running democratic leader
John Kerry and third party participant Ralph Nader, the
2004 presidential elections are probably the biggest and
most important elections of the United State’s history.
What makes this election so essential is the war in Iraq
and the terror that struck the American nation since September
11, 2001. Also the economy isn’t doing so well.
So what do we think about when electing a president? The
two main platforms that will decide the new president are
the economy and the war.
Democratic leader John Kerry makes promises to establish
more jobs for our nation. Though this promise seem to be
a great opportunity for America, the rate at which Kerry
can establish jobs more and more people will lose work labor
due to the advance in technology, and technology is drastically
advancing during this generation. Therefore Kerry’s
promise whether it will be fulfilled or not, will not help
the job placement of our nation.
The view of implementing tax cuts to influence people to
spend more money is an insufficient
plan thought up by president Bush. Though cutting taxes
may seem like a good idea, president bush has gravely put
our economy in a huge debt. When elected in 2000, Bush sent
everyone a sum of money, which was accumulated by previous
president Bill Clinton. To sum things up the idea of lower
taxes is a bad idea. Raising the taxes is a healthier plan
though Americans will despise it.
Along with domestic issues, Americans must also make a decision
over deciding our next president through foreign policies,
i.e. the war in Iraq.
Senator John Kerry a decorated Vietnam veteran who claims
to have more experience in national security said, "gridlocked
by its own ideology and its own arrogance" talks about
the bush administration being jammed with their own ethics
and pride. Senator Kerry’s plan of war is to gain
more allies through the united nation therefore having help
through their allies to police and reconstruct Iraq.
