Ps... sorry I couldnt post that all in one comment due to the 2000 character limit... so it might be a little confusing. (I'm not too good at this whole vonationposting thing yet) So I'm sure you'll figure it out... but just start at the bottom comment and work your way up! k bye
Anyways, I actually really appreciate your response to part
one of my email… (Even though I’m going to have to kick you-know-who for
forwarding it... haha). It’s not that I didn’t
want you to read it (on the contrary, I told the aforementioned to let me have
at it!)… but keep in mind that it was a quick, passionate 15-minute email, sent
out of disgust and fury at Obama’s policies… so it’s not my “best work”.Also,
even though we clearly disagree on some issues… I want there to be no hard feelings here.
And in all sincerity, it’s nice to finally “meet” you, by
the way! :)
...You see, what was actually needed was to force
the companies that got us into this position to gradually earn their way back
to health. We should have made low interest money available to them and
the banks to get back on their feet again. In addition we need to
simultaneously stimulate the economy via: tax cuts for all; businesses,
and all income groups...I repeat ALL income groups. In addition, we need to put
a realistic energy program in place which means immediately tapping in to our
oil reserves and shale oil reserves, in addition to working on other sources of
energy like nuclear, wind and solar. We must DRILL though and not cave
into the liberal BS of man-made “global warming” – which is really just another
hoax (created by socialistic leftist groups) to redistribute income and
transfer power away from our country to other countries. But don’t get me
started on global warming…
First of all, if any “one” is to blame for the latest crash
and banking crisis… don’t look at Bush, who repeatedly (16 times) brought this
issue before an uncooperative (majority liberal) Congress long before it
happened.Actually, if anything is to
blame for the recent crisis, it would be the liberal practices of the Carter
administration, and the Clinton
administration… as these allowed – nay, FORCED -- the banking institutions to
lend to people that could not afford the homes that they ended up
purchasing. The regulations were lessened and the banks were forced to
have quotas on how many of these low quality-high risk loans they had to have
in their port folios. Now, the liberals have forced (and the republicans
have caved) this government bail out program which is not in all of our best
interests. This amounts to one of the largest "hidden taxes"
and biggest redistributions of wealth in history...
...Aside from his clearly socialistic policies, his background,
his record, and his past (in)experience all show where his true loyalties
lay.Just take a look at his voting
record (the most liberal voting record in the senate…that is, when he does
actually vote). He is as far left (ie. socialist!) as one can get, and
you can trace it back to his roots with the people that he has been associated
with over the years. His association with one of the Weather Underground
members who bombed government institutions in the past ( and are unrepentant
today ), his association with the radical group Acorn and his close followings
of the teachings of socialist organizer Sol Alinsky, make him one of the
scariest candidates this country has ever put up. There’s no denying it,
Matthew… the “butter is real”, and it’s bad for us too -- Obama’s tax plan is
socialism at it’s “finest”.
You really can’t even compare McCain’s tax policies to Obama’s…. because McCain is not planning on raising
ANY taxes, whereas Obama wants to raise taxes to the highest levels since
Herbert Hoover led our country into the Great Depression.If you do even a little research on taxation
in this country, history shows that the more you tax (particularly the more you
tax the higher income brackets at increasingly higher rates), the more you
redistribute income.This is socialism,
regardless of what flip-flopping Colin Powel calls it.It is what
it is!For, the more government you
have, the more government is in control, and the closer you get to
socialism. The more you move away from our founding principles of
"life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" (remember this country
was founded against the high taxation policies of Great Britain), the more you
set yourself up for a country that has classes of people who feel entitled to
the “hand outs” of the government. The democrats are currently in support
of the following: higher taxes, more government control, and handing out
to the lower classes with entitlements. Obama himself was quoted as
saying that he intends to take the profits of small-business owners and (direct
quote): “…spread the wealth around to those with lesser incomes…” If this isn’t
socialism, then please tell me what is!
I've been looking forward to meeting you for quite some time.... but I'm
just sorry it's gotta be through political debate, (thanks to our mutual
"friend"... haha)...
But for the moment, bring on the politics... and in the mean time, I'll work
on the above mentioned person about introducing us properly! :)
First,
in regards to Obama’s Tax plan…You are right that the poor will spend the money
that is handed to them, but what does this even accomplish… (aside from
taking away the motivation to work harder)? Most likely, this small sum of
money will be barely enough to even pay for their debts – let alone
actually end up fueling economic growth. For, money just does not flow
from the poor to the wealthy as you claim – there is no such thing as a
“trickle UP” effect… it defies the laws of monetary exchange (and physics…) I
mean, I’ve never seen a “poor” man pay a “rich” man his wages --It’s the other
way around: The wealthy create jobs… Jobs create wealth…Wealth flows into
the hands of the working people. Period. Don’t get me wrong, I’m
all about helping the poor… but not by starting an unnecessary class war and
pitting them against the taxpayers that supply them with jobs and a paycheck.
(I
am also against the death penalty and gun control… we agree!)
I
also like “I can’t believe it’s not butter” better than actual butter…
Post Comments - I Can't Believe Its Not Socialism
Hey, regarding "redistribution of wealth". Take a look at this:
http://www.slate.com/id/2203433/?from=rss
Its an article on Slate, talking about how Obama favors redistribution of the wealth and so does McCain...
Ps... sorry I couldnt post that all in one comment due to the 2000 character limit... so it might be a little confusing. (I'm not too good at this whole vonationposting thing yet) So I'm sure you'll figure it out... but just start at the bottom comment and work your way up! k bye
