If I were American I'd be a Republican (coz I'm conservative), and vote for Barack Obama (coz he's the man for the job). As for the tax issue the world is in a state because of the USA and it's prolific waste of tax dollars spent on foreign wars. Obama is not only going to have to make up for the shortfall but try to clear up the mess. America's security has been violated by Bush because he has started wars with others. I think the world might just trust America again with Obama at the helm.
