What I wouldn’t give for a chance to speak to Obama.
On camera no less.
Great job. Great American.
Senator Obama, We look at your policies. Massive government programs. Wealth redistribution via tax policy. Large tax increases on producers to those that have not earned it. Government giveaways. Government run healthcare, mandated for all. A plan to give a trillion taxpayer dollars for global wealth redistribution. Senator Obama, you, who first ran for the Illinois Senate as a New Party - a socialist party group - why do you not call your vision for America, socialist - because it is? And how does socialism fit into a Constitutional Republic? They are two conflicting governmental philosophies. One thinks government needs to run and control everything. The other wants small government and private owners making the decisions how to run things.
Second: Sir, this country is about giving everyone the same equality of opportunity, it was NEVER set up to guarantee equality of OUTCOME. Yet all your policies are geared towards forcing equality of outcome. How is using the power of government to take assets and income from some and giving it to others, an American principle?
Third: Before we were a country, we tried socialism in America. It was called Jamestown. The experiment failed miserably with half the colonists dying the first winter. When people do unequal work but get the same reward, nobody works very hard because there’s no incentive to. When they changed this policy and let people keep what they grew, they had large crop surpluses and were able to pay their debts off quicker. Yet all of your policies are about punishing people who you think have too much, and giving it to others you believe should have it. How is that the American Dream - “Don’t be too successful, else we will take it from you?” Who are you to decide has too much?
4. Senator Obama. Right now, if someone comes up to me on the street, and says, “You make too much money, and I don’t have enough. You need to pay me $200 a month. Hand it over.” We’d say the person is nuts and has no moral or legal claim to my earnings. Yet you, Senator Obama, with the full power and strength of the federal government, wants to do the same thing, you want to be the middleman who takes it from me, and holds it a little while, then gives it to the other guy. Now, explain to me how that really is an American way of doing things, as you say, Senator Obama, rather than a socialist way of doing things?
