Like I said we are going down the highway to socailism.
Take Obamacare for instance, government taking over healthcare when the
private sector can handle it with some changes in Tort and interstate competition.
Obama wanting to spend another $3 Trillion on more government programs
when we are already $12 Trillion in debt. You mention Bush. Well, how about
going back to 2008 government spending limits. What are the emergency needs
that require us to spend another 25% over 2008?
Obama wanting to redistribute the wealth by increasing taxes on the rich and
those making over $250 thousand a year. Here taking advantage of human
nature's jealousy. How come he has more than me?
An Iron Worker working on a 40 story building in below freezing temps and
high winds taking a risk compared to a government worker pushing paper
in a warm office, who deserves more? Same with sucessful business people
who work 24/7 to build a business, hire people, pay their benefits, pay business
tax and risk their capital. Again because they are sucessful should they pay
higher taxes than the office worker? Socialism would say yes.
I could go on and on Zimmy, but American Capitalism is based on rewarding
success in a free market, ownership of private property and a right to
protect us from intrusive government. I'll take that any day.
