The Moment Of Truth

In recent days I have been feeling more and more discouraged about what the outcome of this election will become. Each day we get closer I hear more people discussing the election and extending their opinion about each candidate's policies. If there is one thing I have realized more than anything else during these discussions is, Obama is very good at getting people to believe that they will not be subjected to the higher taxes needed in order to pay for his plans. People really believe they won't be paying the price tag for all of Obama's added programs. Poor people think that the rich will be the only ones who will pay the extra cost for his plans.


Well, all I can say is that everybody better think again because it is all bull. There is no possible way the middle class can get out of paying for Obama's new programs. First of all, Obama openly says he will eliminate the Bush tax cuts which will affect everyone making more than forty two thousand dollars a year. This is a very clever way of raising taxes on the middle class without making it look like he was the one responsible for doing so. Of course he is making it look like it is Bush's fault but when in reality it is just Obama raising taxes. Another news flash to every Obama supporter out there is that big corporations don't pay taxes. They collect taxes, from the consumers of their products or services by simply raising the cost. So what does that mean? It means we the middle class will pay the new corporate taxes which Obama plans on raising when he takes office. Just to give a quick example, lets say someone who is only making $20,000 a year is saving their hard earned money to finally buy that flat screened TV they have always wanted. Well, they will actually pay 20% more for that TV if Obama gets elected. So, if that TV cost $2,000 it will now cost $2,400 plus the sales tax on top of the extra cost which will also be more than before because the percentage will be more. And by my understanding, I thought Obama said "Only if you make $250,000 a year or more you will pay higher taxes.", but this person who makes $20,000 a year is going to pay $424 more for their TV. My friends that is raising taxes on people making less than $250,000 a year in a clever way.

The thing that bothers me the most about this, is that Obama is a very educated man, which means he knows all of this is going to happen. He knows the middle class will ultimately pay his higher taxes but yet continues to campaign on slogans that say he is going to give the middle class tax cuts. Obama knows the corporations are going to raise their costs on us after he raises their taxes 13% but yet he still tells us he is looking out for us. Obama knows, that after these corporations raise their costs, they might not sell as much of their product as before, which will force them to cut our jobs. These corporations will have to cut good jobs which give good benefits but yet Obama says he is looking out for us, the middle class. Face it people, the cost of everything will go up. Our grocery bills will go up, our electric bills will go up, our fuel costs will go up, all of our bills will go up, but yet Obama insits he will not raise our taxes! Yes, maybe our tax bill will not go up but every other bill will go up, so what is the difference?

I say Obama is as phoney as they come. He is playing class warfare which is extremely dangerous in this country. This country has been running on capitalism for over a hundred years and has been very successful in doing so. So because of one recession, one of many recessions, we are now going to change they way we run our great country. Come on people, socialism is not something we should experiment with during these difficult times or any times for that matter. Socialism is expensive and means big government telling us what to do with our money. Is that what we Americans really want? I don't believe Americans really want what Obama is trying to sell us. I do believe Americans are really upset with George Bush, the same as I am and believe Obama when he says, McCain will be just like Bush. Although, Americans voting with these kinds of emotions, I believe will be very damaging to our country.

It is actually quite sad to be honest. Just because one republican president does a bad job in the white house, Americans are willing to give up our way of life which we have been living for so long by casting a vote for Obama. Look I know that sounds a little dramatic but it is true if you are paying attention to what it is that Obama wants to do when he takes office. Obama wants government to do everything for everyone instead of us doing for ourselves which is socialism. He wants to spend our money the way he sees fit.
