I can just imagine what must have been being said in Democrat strategy meetings, "I've got an idea; let's work with groups like ACORN and Fannie Mae to make banks hand out sub prime loans like lollipops, that will eventually cause the home credit markets to collapse which will ripple all the way through Wall Street. Then we will promise the American people to lower their taxes, well most of them anyway, and give them all free health care. Then as things get worse and worse they will have to rely on the government more and more. Eventually, they will have no choice but to turn to us for their every need."
Yeah, thats a great plan, if your name is Joseph Stalin or Karl Marx. And I'm sure most of us have heard about Hawaii by now... For those who haven't 7 months after initiating their statewide child health insurance program the state has had to kill the program. Why? Because parents who were buying health coverage for their kids dropped them so that they qualified for the state program. Strange, people not paying for something when they can get it for free, never saw that coming... I bet the MSM wont be covering that story.
Last week in Ohio Barack Hussein Obama unwittingly unleahsed the Socialist Democrats plan while speaking with "Joe the plumber." I know some plumbers and lets face it, some of the aint the smartest guys on the planet, but hell even Joe saw Barack and the Dems' plan for what it was: SOCIALISIM. "..I think that when you spread the wealth arroung, it's goos for everyone." Thats what BHO said to Joe after joe asked him about his "middle class tax releif plan". He gets it, but another person I know (who happens to have a PolySci degree) doesn't, in fact he loves socailist programs and thinks more things need to be socialized... Makes me sick to my stomach.
I don't make $250,000 a year, but I don't think it's fair to take even more from these people. I dont think it's fair how much the IRS takes from me, and I get back half of what they take every tax season... I can't imagine what it must be like to have them take an even greater ammount and not get a good schunk of that back every year. What I do think is fair is the Fair Tax. I know some people who have argued against it because "if you pass an amendment that oveturns the federal income tax you also affect stae income taxes" or "a federal consumption tax just doesn't seem fair, and what to stop the government from upping the tax rate". These are both valid concerns, but not valid arguments against the Fair Tax. States have the right to set their own taxes, which they all do. And the thing that will keep the government from raising this tax rate will be the fact that the government will see increased tax revenue from the Fair Tax... but I digress.
Where was I going with all this? I don't even know anymore.... Oh yeah. Barack = Socaialism
