You voted for a criminal my dear. Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, ACORN, terrorist associations, money from unknown and middle-eastern sources, need I go on. And the sad thing is, he will probably win by a land slide. He is the Manchurian candidate and all terrorists, including him, know how stupid Americans are that if you throw a ton of money into a campaign and participate in voter fraud (ACORN) then you don't have to disclose your secrets. So now that I know you agree with "share the wealth", I too, can now stand with my hand out, with the entitlement attitude, and sleep well at night like all socialist democrats. We have had a democratic congress during these last years of Bush. It is convenient for all to blame Bush. Now we might move to a Democratic President and Democratic congress. Say goodbye to Capitalism. Democrats and big govt have destroyed our countrys' (and the world) economy with meddling with mortgage loan programs (ACORN) through liberal manipulation and intimidation of loaning institutions to make sure that unqualified borrowers could get mortgages. I'm the one you characterize as "the Americans who can afford to pay taxes the most" that you believe should be taxed more to provide income redistribution "to spread the wealth" to those who have never toiled, sweated, fretted, fought, stressed, or risked anything. You want to characterize me as someone who has enjoyed a life of privilege and who needs to pay a higher percentage of my income than those who have bought into the Democrat entitlement culture. I resent all who want to use class warfare as a tool to advance their political career. What's worse, each year more Americans buy into this liberal entitlement culture and turn to the government for their hope of a better life instead of working. Libe rals are succeeding through more than 40 years of collaborative effort between the predominant liberal media, and liberal indoctrination programs in the public school systems across our land.
What is so terribly sad about this is America was made great by people who embraced the one-time American culture of self reliance, self motivation, self determination, self discipline, personal betterment, hard work, risk taking. A culture built around the concept that success was in reach of every able bodied American who would strive for it. Every year that less Americans embrace that culture, we all descend together. We descend down the socialist path that has brought country after country ultimately to bitter and unremarkable states. If liberals in the media and school systems would spend half as much effort cultivating a culture of can-do across America as they do cultivating entitlement culture, we could see Americans at large embracing the conviction that they can elevate themselves through personal betterment, personal achievement, and self reliance. You see, when people embrace such ideals, they act on them. When people act on such ideals, they succeed. All of America could find herself elevating instead of deteriorating. But that would eliminate the need for liberal politicians. The country would not need big govt if the country was convinced that problem solving was best left with individuals instead of the government. Liberals have got a vested interested in creating a dependent class in our country. It is the very business of liberals to create an ever expanding dependence on government. What's remarkable I will be taxed in order to take more of my money and give it to people who wouldn't need my money if they would get off their entitlement mentality asses and apply themselves at work, demand more from themselves, and quit looking to liberal politicians to raise their station in life.
The slackers in life who simply will not show up to work on time. People who just will not work 5 days in a week, much less, 6 days. People always looking for a way to put less effort out. People who actually tell me that they would do more if I just would first pay them more. People who take off work to sit in government offices to apply to get free government handouts (gee, I wonder how things would have turned out for them if they had spent that time earning money and pleasing their employer?).
You see, all of this comes from the entitlement mentality culture.
So am I uncompassionate and unempathetic - YOU BET. Obama's verage percentage of income has been given to charities over the years of 2000 to 2004 (ignoring the years you started running for office - can you pronounce "politically motivated"), averaged less than 1% annually! Biden, averaged less than ¼% of his annual income in charitable contributions over the last 10 years. Like so many liberals, the two of them want to give to the needy, just as long as it is someone else's money they are giving to them. Don't you just hate google?
Obama's political philosophies represent everything that is wrong with our country. It is representing the culture of government dependence instead of self reliance; Entitlement mentality instead of personal achievement; Penalization of the successful to reward the
unmotivated; Political correctness instead of open mindedness and open debate. With Obama as President we will see the final transformation of America from being the greatest and most self-reliant culture on earth, to just another country of whiners and wimps, who sit around looking to the government to solve their problems. Like all of western Europe. All countries on the decline. All countries that, because of liberal socialistic mentalities, have a little less to offer mankind every year.
God help us...
