Your right to be Gay

      I agree with Rachel Maddow in her blog Your right to be gay. If you are gay you have the right to say so if you please.

      Many people go through everyday life scared to show who they really are because of what people will think. I believe if you have the guts to stand up and say that you are gay, you should be respected. I understand that many people still today think it is the "ungodly" thing to do. However if you liked someone before you found out they were gay, why once you find out they are, you don't?
     Does being gay affect how you serve your country? Does it affect what you believe in? No, it doesn't. Someone in the military shouldn't be let go because of their sexuality. They still feel the same; and are willing to fight to save our freedom. Just because you might be fighting with a gay man doesn't change the fact that he is there for the same reasons you are.
      Rachel is right when she says "It is wrong to force gay military personnel to stay silent about their sexual orientation, just as it was wrong to force African Americans to ride in the back of the bus and go to different schools."

     Once everyone sees that its not a big deal to be gay the military will slowly let it go as well.

Tax Cuts

              Is it really fair to cut taxes for the middle class and raise them for the rich? I say no. Yes, taxes can and tend to be hard on the poor. They either work too many hours in a day to try and meet ends meet or just are lazy and sit around doing nothing all day. Same with the rich though; they either work their butts off for their money or they were born into it and do nothing to make money. Both sides are very similar yet so different based on their income. So why punish the rich for their money? Why have them pay more taxes than lower income families? Just because they have money doesn't mean our government should tax them more."To show our position very clearly that Democrats support tax cuts for the middle class. We think it is fairer thing to do and is necessary at this time in our economy," (Pelosi) Why is it so necessary to do tax cuts for the middle class? Honestly I think that the rich has all the same rights to their money as the middle class. We shouldnt raise taxes on the higher income just because they have more money and lower on the low income cuz they don't have as much. If they lower taxes it should be on everyone. Everyone has a right to what they earn.
