A Government Big Enough to Give you Everything is Big Enough to take Everything You Have

Written by: Colette

I don't know about you, but I am starting to lose hope that we have any chance to defeat Barack Obama. I thought John McCain's performance at the debate last night was the best he had done, but sadly, I don't think he did enough. I encounter people that really have been brainwashed by the mainstream media who are admittedly promoting Obama. Do they not care that he associates himself with the most extreme of fringe of liberal groups? Do they not care that he is paying ACORN to win the election for him through voter fraud? Do they do research about his tax policies? Do they really think that businesses are going to take the tax hike he is proposing and not pass it on to the middle-class in the form of higher prices and/or job cuts? Do they really think he will cut taxes for 95% of Americans, as he claims ad nauseum? It is mathematically impossible on a couple of levels. First, 30% of Americans don't pay taxes so he can't lower them. Second, he can't possible cut taxes and fund all of his proposed spending increases. To quote Back to the Future, "Think McFly, Think!"

I guess that is really our problem. Americans in general have become lazy. We don't want to have to think about things, we just want someone to tell us what we want to hear. I guess that's why we will be suffering through an Obama Presidency. I just wish we would all ponder the words of Thomas Jefferson when he said, "Any government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you have away." Americans need to be careful what they wish for... they just might get it.
