Obama garnered even more votes last night with his pitch to reduce taxes to 95% of American taxpayers. This is just wonderful to the ears - however the 5% percent he plans to increase taxes on are the people and businesses that create JOBS. So, while it would be nice to pay less taxes than the more than 30% we pay out now, if we don't have a job what is the benefit?
I greatly fear we will return to the welfare state of the 60's and 70's under a Democratic President and Congress.
As for government-owned health care, what a joke. It will never happen because Americans want a CHOICE regarding their health care options. Under Obama's plan, there are mandates and freedom of choice is just not there. The idea of affordable health care is great, and I personally like the idea of a tax break to help families get insurance, etc. better than something the government runs. We've all seen the last months how well government-run programs work. Not a Democratic or Republican thing - just overall the folks in Washington don't have a clue about what it's like to really work and support ourselves.
So, if Obama wins, all you supporters better cross your fingers that he has some good advisers. For someone who said when he was 8 years old he would be President, someone who has created himself as the annointed President with absolutely no credentials or experience to be a leader, and someone who is bolstered by the Hollywood celebrity set - good luck. He may have Warren Buffett in his corner and that might be good for getting the economy back on track, but he will spend us into even more debt with his government programs and handouts.
Personally, I just hope he isn't the new reincarnation of Jimmy Carter...or JFK for that matter. JC is a nice man, but has no clue (even now) about world leadership. JFK, for those of you too young to remember, or those who still idolize the Kennedy clan took us to the brink of WW III over the Bay of Pigs. And on a final note, having Joe Biden as VP and the 'foreign affairs expert' is even scarier.
