Letters to America
"Boater" wrote in message ... wrote: So all of a sudden everybody has finally discovered that Sen. Obama, with his comment to Joe the Plumber, plans to ". . . spread the wealth around." We should all be worried. snerk Snerk yourself. While the concepts are nice and appealing to many during an election campaign, the problem is not the specific details of Obama's proposals or even the income levels over which taxes will be raised. The problem is in allowing government - and the "leaders" of government to control it ... period. Taxes are necessary to provide funding for programs and agencies designed for the public's benefit, however selective taxing of one group over another to "spread the wealth" is socialism, regardless of how you want to define the word for your purposes. Ironically, without the recent global economic meltdown, McCain, who opposes selective taxing, would very likely be well ahead in the pre-election polls. Add the meltdown and much of the public becomes receptive to Obama Socialism because it serves immediate needs and seems responsive to new, but temporary, concerns. But, two months ago, everyone was very happy to be capitalistic, watching their 401k plans grow in value, etc. McCain has the right economic ideas at the worst possible time. Once we give them up to government control under Obama, they will be very difficult to recover and will probably be lost forever. People need to think a year or two in the future and not just the next 6 months. Eisboch |
