FREE ESSAY ON PRESIDENT

PRESIDENT

Election day is right around the corner. On November 7, 2000 American 
citizens will be voting whether they want George W. Bush as our president or Al 
Gore . Both candidate are well qualified for the job. As Alan Litchman said " you 
have to have a certain basic level of intelligence." Al Gore has been our vice 
president for the past eight years and Mr. Bush is currently the Governor of 
Texas.
George W. Bush and his running mate for vice president Dick Cheney are 
representing the Republican party. Mr.Bush has many plans for taxes such as:
a portion of taxes should go to retirement, no one should have to pay more than 
a third of their pay check to taxes, eliminate the death tax, and to double the 
child deduction. He also wants to strengthen medicare by making prescription 
drugs affordable and available to senior citizens. He wants local government to 
have control of schools. He thinks that the military should get better pay and 
more training.
For the Democratic party Al Gore and running mate Joe Lieberman plan 
to continue to build on past successes. The Democratic Convention opens 
Monday in Los Angeles, but Gore will not give his acceptance speech until 
Thursday. Gore wants to distance himself from President Clinton with the 
words such as "fresh start" with regard to the Clinton scandals. Gore believes 
that that George's budgets don't balance, because of a huge tax give aways to 
the wealthy instead of the middle class, and large deficits that can lead to high 
interest rates. Gore is also trying to burden the Bush campaign with voters' 
memories of thehigh unemployment rates and weak economic growth that 
helped drive his father from the White House in 1992.
I think which ever candidate is chosen for President will have many 
challenges in bringing respect and trust back into the Oval office.
