This election season is going in the wrong direction to say the least. I am in total disbelief as well as completely frustrated when I hear Americans say that Obama is better on the economy than McCain. I ask myself, "Can Americans be that ignorant, when it comes to this robin hood method of running our country?". Hugo Chavez, the President of Venezuela, has been trying that robin hood method of running his country for several years now, which has been failing miserably.
I guess the reason Americans are buying into this message from Obama is because it is being pounded into their heads on a constant basis by the bias mainstream media. Also, Obama has approximately $70 million a month to work with for advertising which is why every time you turn on the radio or the TV you hear Obama saying, "95% of Americans are going to get a tax cut while the top 5% are going to get increases". This is so funny because 41% of Americans don't even pay federal income taxes, so how could you cut what they don't pay. Another fact under the current tax system is that the top 5% earning Americans already pay 67% of the federal taxes and the top 1% pays 30% of the federal taxes. So, how much does Obama plan on making the top 5% pay?
These are facts of which most Americans are totally unaware. Many of those 41% of Americans who do not pay any federal taxes, probably think that they do pay taxes. They are probably confusing social security taxes and medicare taxes with federal taxes. Since these people think they are paying federal taxes they also think that it is so great that Obama is going to cut their taxes. This is so misleading because these voters are basing their decisions on false information. These people are also unaware that if Obama increases the taxes on Corporate America it will only be passed onto them. These companies will just pass the added cost of taxes onto us the consumers. Since, the prices of these goods and services are going to increase because of the increase in taxes they will be forced to pay under Obama's new tax plan, they will probably sell less. If they sell less product that will obviously mean less profit which will ultimately lead to laying off workers. Either way you look at it, we the middle class are going to pay for Obama's tax increases. This is why I am so frustrated when I hear people say, "Obama is thinking about the poor people, and is only going to tax the rich.".
Also, I am very angry at McCain for not defending his positions on taxes much stronger than he has been. McCain needs to get angry out there on the debate floor and defend his positions on tax cuts for big corporations. These corporations are hurting, which is what is causing this country to go into a recession. Taxing these companies even more will only make the situation worse than it already is now. These companies will cut jobs, spending, and benefits if they are taxed more in these ruff times. Which jobs will they cut? The middle class jobs will be the first ones to be cut. So, how is it that Obama thinks he is looking out for us, when he is causing our companies to lay us off from our jobs.
What Obama and Obama supporters do not understand is that everybody needs their taxes cut during these times as well as government spending needs to be suspended for a while. Which means we need to make some sacrifices in order to move forward. The first concern needs to be getting the market stable again which will naturally create more jobs and bring in more revenue which will ultimately bring more taxes in the end. After that is accomplished, we can begin to pay down the deficit. I think Americans forget that we have had large deficits before and managed to pay them off and we have never accomplished that by raising taxes. When Ronald Regan took office, he took office with a large deficit, double digit unemployment and he lowered taxes which eventually got us out of debt and lowered unemployment. The way Ronald Regan did that was by lowering taxes on everyone. Lowering taxes in tough times is the single most important thing the government can do to help the country recover from a recession.
McCain's tax plan will bring relief to everyone including the middle class, rich people, and large corporations. This will stimulate the economy by keeping the money where it belongs, out of the hands of a bureaucrat. The government will only waste the money as they always have before. Income redistribution will not work and it is not fair. One of the greatest things about this country is that if you work hard and educate yourself, you can make yourself rich. Now, why should you share your hard work with someone who is not willing to go that extra mile. I don't know, maybe it is just me, but I do not pity anyone who has four children and is struggling to get make ends meet. They should have learned from the first child. My wife and I make pretty good money and we desire to have children one day, but we are waiting until our financial situation is good enough for us to have a child. We share a car, we don't eat out, we budget our weekly spending, we invest all of our extra money and we do all of this in an effort to save money for our future. This is why I do not pity the irresponsible people who keep having children and can not afford too. Why should I be responsible and pay their mistakes?
Last night on the news they showed a plumber asking Obama about his tax plan and Obama replied by saying, "I am going to raise your taxes, because we need to spread the wealth around to everyone." All I can say is Wow, with a capital "W"! Listen to that message of socialism. Basically, what this means is, if you sacrifice, work hard, stay up late studying for a degree and become successful you will be able to contribute more to the people who do not. Responsible people carry the burden of the irresponsible people under Obama's philosophy of government.
Anyone who is reading this is probably thinking that I am really cold person, but actually I am not. I do not mind helping people who truly can not do for themselves. For example, someone who has a disability such as being paralysed, someone who is mentally challenged, a war veteran with a missing limb, someone who is dying from cancer or a child born with aids and so on. Of course their are always some people who could not make it in life without the help of the government which is totally acceptable. In some cases I think we do not do enough for some people.
Although, on the hand the government is helping totally capable people with things that they should be doing for themselves. No matter how good or bad the economy is these are the same people who always have their hands out looking for the rest of us to support them. These are the people for whom I have absolutely no pity for and I could care less whether they live in house or in a cardboard box. And if they have kids then government should take them or the government should give them vouchers for daycare, so that they can go to work and earn something in life. There should be a work for welfare program. No one should just get a check from the government without preconditions. If not then where does it end?
There are many reasons not to vote for Obama but I believe the biggest one is his idea of socialism. Then their is his associations with Reverend Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, Louis Farrakhan, Acorn and Tony Rezko. These are real relationships that people need to take into consideration. Reverend Jeremiah Wright is as racist as they come and Obama sat in his church for 20 years. Obama went to Reverend Jeremiah Wright's church twice a month for 20 years and claims he did not hear any of his racist talk. Does he really expect us to believe him. Reverend Jeremiah Wright married Barrack and Michelle as well as baptising his two children. Obama only distanced himself from Wright because of politics. And I hate when Obama says, "I was eight years old when William Ayers bombed the pentagon.". It isn't about whether Obama was part of it or not, but it is about his judgement. Our future President should not be sitting on the board with domestic terrorists. It does not matter how long ago the incident happened.
Also, Obama only has 7 total years of experience as a politician. In his two years as a senator he has never voted for lower taxes for the middle class but has voted for middle class tax increases. Yes, you did read that right, middle class tax increases. Four times to be exact. Isn't he the one saying he is going to cut the middle class taxes? It will never happen folks. It is all smoke and mirrors.
