I vote Obama because...

1. Health care- I want someone that would provide affordable and accessible health care for everyone. Barack Obama's plan allows this. It builds on the existing health care system and uses the existing providers. People will be able to make health care decisions with their doctors instead of the insurance companies. One will be able to keep their current health care plan and nothing changes. The costs would just go down by as much as $2,500 per year. If one does not have any health insurance, there are many affordable new choices in Obama's plan. Overall this plan will strengthen employer coverage. It makes insurance companies responsible for there actions. Patients will be able to choose a doctor without any interference. This is why I like his health care plan.

2. Taxes- I want someone that will provide tax relief for Americans. Barack Obama's plan allows this. The plan would cut taxes for 95% of workers. There will be tax cuts for low income seniors and families sending a child to college. He will assure middle class families will not see their taxes raised. No families making less than $250,000 will have increased taxes. Families that make more than $250,000 will pay the same or lower tax rates. Overall Obama's plan will cut taxes. Small businesses will benefit from this tax plan. People will be able to save and gain wealth. I am very happy with his tax policy.

3. Education- I want someone that will invest for the future. Barack Obama's education plan is great. I like his $4000 tax credit for college education in exchange for community service. He will make it easier for families to afford to send their kids to college. He wants to prioritize in making math and science important. Teachers will benefit from this plan a lot. There will be better trained teachers with this plan. Teachers will be rewarded for their accomplishments. This might make me want to become a teacher someday. More funds need to go to education and hopefully this plan will work. Without investing in education, our future will not be so good.
