Listen to this http://cdn.sfgate.com/blogs/sounds/sfgate/chroncast/2008/01/17/20080117-obama-interview.mp3 it tells how Obama wants to bankrupt the coal industry.
I'm unable to vote, yet I'm still an American citizen and I love my country. I do want everyone to share in the wealth that this nation has to offer, but Obama's plan to "share the wealth" is not the way to accomplish it. Every country that has ever attempted to make their citizens equal by sharing the wealth has only succeeded in making everyone poorer.
America was built on the entrepreneurial (sp) spirit. When a new town was started the citizens saw what was needed and everyone put their talents to work and made the town successful. You worked to keep your family fed and in good shelter. Yes, occasionally there was a family that the dad ran out on or was a drunk, but the rest of the family understood that the help they received from their neighbors were just that...a help up. They wanted to work to do better for the rest of the family and when they could help others, they did.
Watching the news channels last night with the sound off I saw a comment that Obama's plan is like "the teacher who takes away from someone's A to give part of it to all the C students." Kinda makes you not want to work harder and learn more to get that A, huh? Once the students discover that they need not study and learn to get a good grade, where will we be? An uneducated nation? Can we get any lower on the scale of education in this world? If Obama wins, check back next year and I'm sure that the answer is yes.
I'm in the lower economic class that Obama wants to share the wealth with. Honestly, I don't want his check, I want my husband to continue to have a job to go to everyday and collect a weekly check rather than a $1,000 check once a year. That check will only pay part of one months bills. How will I feed my family the other 11 months? I have no plans or desires to stand in a line for free cheese or anything else.
I'm not being selfish in that I don't want to pay more taxes. I live in PA, we pay alot of taxes already. I come from Florida where there are no state or city employment taxes. You just pay the federal taxes and that's it. That was nice, but gotta say the educational system is not the best. Although the roads are better. LOL
Am I a true McCain fan? No. But I am a fan of Sarah Palin. She has more executive experience than anyone else in this race. She knows what it's like to make decisions for the good of her citizens and not just get pork for them. She is the only one who is "one of us." She's not a millionaire. She had to "borrow" clothes for the campaign. So what. If she dressed in normal Wal-Mart attire, you'd have something to say about that. All of the men in the race have women to raise their families while they work. The Palins work as a team. Sometimes she's a single mom while he is on the slope and vice versa. That is more in tune with us than Obama, Biden or McCain. I don't care that she has a nanny. Fact is, we see her kids with her. Not pushed back with the nanny while Mommy has her spotlight.
Obama is not black. He wants you and I to believe that he has lived the life of the oppressed black man. He did not live in the "hood" or the "ghetto." Fact is, he lived with a white middle class family. His grandmother knows what hard work is about she worked her way up the ladder at a bank to support her family. How would he feel if we said that we should take part of her money to give to that family down the street who just sit home and collect welfare? I don't think he would have liked it. *update* My thoughts and prayers go out to Mrs. Dunham's family. Her passing will leave a marked void in Obama's life and as someone who was extremely close to her grandmother, I feel his pain.
I care about who he surrounds himself with. I don't buy the "I didn't know what they were up to" line. I want my leader to know who and what is around him and helping him to make decisions. I want him to know their backstory, why they feel the way they do, and why they are advising him to make certain decisions.
I certainly don't want a woman in the White House having pillow talk with our leader who has never been proud of our country until her husband was winning his party ticket. And I don't want a man who doesn't believe in the Constitution to "swear to defend the Constitution." How can you defend and uphold something you don't believe in?
In the past 10 weeks we have watched the wage of the middle class drop from 250,000 to 120,000. Even if you ignore Gov. Richardson, then $150,000 as Biden says. I don't care that Obama's plan is in writing. If it's in writing then they should be able to keep their facts straight.
Obama supported a ban on guns in Illinois. I don't own a gun or plan to own a gun, but the founders of our nation gave us the right to bear arms...2nd only to free speech. That tells you how important it was to them that we have that right. Banning guns will not deter crime. It will only keep the law abiding citizens from being able to defend themselves. I assure the criminals will still get their hands on them now. How many times do we see convicted felons arrested for committing crimes with guns that they are forbidden by law to own or carry? They don't care about the laws so passing a ban means nothing to them.
Free speech is the #1 right given to us by our founding fathers. If the democrats take control of two branches of the government then the fairness doctrine will come in to play. As it stands, there is no fairness and it leans towards the liberals. Mainstream Media is liberal. I have one TV channel and one radio station where I can hear the conservative side. How fair is that? Yet, the fairness doctrine will limit those two stations to how much time they can commit to conservative views. Scary thought!
I'll pay more taxes. But it's been found that a tax cut across the board, even to the top 10% will actually put more money in the coffers. Let's take a look at Reaganomics, it worked. I don't look forward to double digit unemployment. That's where Obama's socialistic plan will put us. I realize that the liberals have drank the kool-aid and this kool-aid seems to be addicting. They can't live without it. But, personally I prefer Pepsi!
I've never volunteered for any political activity in my life. This year, I signed up to help on election day. I will be calling people tomorrow to remind them to get out the vote. Anyone who reads this....please vote. But, before you do, read a little history of Cuba, China and Germany.
