As a race of people....what is YOUR biggest concern before we elect another BUSH!
Mine are....Making sure vets get compensated properly, lowering property taxes, skyrocketing medical cost, and lowering education.

I see some of the problems as being- taxes on everything....Va went from 4.5% to 5% on a lot of items personal property taxes should be eliminated..why pay taxes year after year on something that is depreciating? poor education poor salaries for teachers not enough black teachers period medical costs

Our state sales tax is only 4 percent, but the local taxes push the total rate to 8-10 percent.
Thank goodness we renew our tags every four years. I know how it is to pay yearly taxes on cars.......plum ridiculous.

Speaking of sales tax(es) there are some localities in Va that make u pay a town tax as well as a county tax. Some places make u pay something to the effect of a "resort" tax, if you are vacationing say like at Va Beach.

Education. These kids are the future so why not invest in their education so that America can operate with intelligent adults. I also think the crime and poverty stats would decrease if education was a priority.

I agree that education is an extremely important issue. That's where it all starts.
