now the democrats, especially obama are against outsourcing, are for limiting even further h1b visas. as someone from the I.T. industry who has been hit hard by all this this is what affects me. even our other senator from our state, has pushed for legislation to end h1b visas altogether. another thing, is that the democrats are for middle-class tax cuts. this is important because the middle class usually takes those tax cuts and go out and spend that money which further spurs the economy and creates new high wage jobs.

Ideally, I'd vote for a Democrat, as they seem to favor the middle and lower classes more than the Republicans do. However, the best ones dropped out of the race (i.e. Mike Gravel), while the rest are just opportunistic, success-driven political careerists who don't believe in anything. On top of that, I agree with Ron Paul on a lot of issues (immigration
not being one of them), such as individual freedom and liberty, non-interventionism, and having something of intrinsic value to back up the paper money that's printed, so its value stays the same. I also agree with him on getting rid of the Federal Reserve and the IRS, which for me (and everyone else) means not paying income taxes. On top of that, he plans to get rid of the CIA as well, which is good for everyone. For me, this all weighs a bit heavier than his immigration policies right now, and why I prefer him over all the other candidates.
