Ok, You Two, What Would You Do to Solve This Mess?

Baby I'll be there to take your hand,
Baby I'll be there to share the land
That they'll be giving away, when we all live together.

So, in the exchange with "Joe the plumber" we find out that Obama really is as radical as his early political acquaintances, and is into the failed economic policy of wealth redistribution. Yahoo, back to the 70's we go! So now we know that an Obama presidency really would be as if it were Carter's lost second term after all.

Under socialism a ruling class of intellectuals, bureaucrats and social planners decide what people want or what is good for society and then use the coercive power of the State to regulate, tax, and redistribute the wealth of those who work for a living. In other words, socialism is a form of legalized theft.

The morality of socialism can be summed-up in two words: envy and self-sacrifice. Envy is the desire to not only possess another's wealth but also the desire to see another's wealth lowered to the level of one's own. Socialism's teaching on self-sacrifice was nicely summarized by two of its greatest defenders, Hermann Goering and Bennito Mussolini. The highest principle of Nazism (National Socialism), said Goering, is: "Common good comes before private good." Fascism, said
Mussolini, is "a life in which the individual, through the sacrifice of his own private interests??realizes that completely spiritual existence in which his value as a man lies."

Socialism is the social system which institutionalizes envy and self-sacrifice: It is the social system which uses compulsion and the organized violence of the State to expropriate wealth from the producer class for its redistribution to the parasitical class.

Despite the intellectuals' psychotic hatred of capitalism, it is the only moral and just social system.

Capitalism is the only moral system because it requires human beings to deal with one another as traders--that is, as free moral agents trading and selling goods and services on the basis of mutual consent.

Capitalism is the only just system because the sole criterion that determines the value of thing exchanged is the free, voluntary, universal judgement of the consumer. Coercion and fraud are anathema to the free-market system.

It is both moral and just because the degree to which man rises or falls in society is determined by the degree to which he uses his mind. Capitalism is the only social system that rewards merit, ability and achievement, regardless of one's birth or station in life.

Yes, there are winners and losers in capitalism. The winners are those who are honest, industrious, thoughtful, prudent, frugal, responsible, disciplined, and efficient. The losers are those who are shiftless, lazy, imprudent, extravagant, negligent, impractical, and inefficient. [What about the role of luck­being in the right place at the right time or the wrong place at the wrong time? R. R. Pope}

Capitalism is the only social system that rewards virtue and punishes vice. This applies to both the business executive and the carpenter, the lawyer and the factory worker.

Small businesses know that... If the customer is unemployed, they are going to have more time to research on the internet and do their own repairs. And if customers are worried about their finances, They are going to find any way possible to spend less money.

Joe the Plumber should be worried about his customer's ability to pay him. Because otherwise, half his customers will be looking up "how to" instead.

How can McCain accomplish anything when he can't even clean up the TALIBAN in Arizona?

There are a lot of people out there that think the ???government??? is something that has infinite resources and it should be the big momma in the sky and make everything fair and all better. The big momma in the sky is about to go broke from trying to play this role and the Democrats are going to be left holding the bag that they have been creating.
The Democrats are going to make all right in the world you say? How? They don???t even realize the scope of the problem. If the banks go under it doesn???t affect anyone except the banks right? I know we will just have the ???government??? send everyone a rebate check and all will be good with the world. We saw how well that worked this summer and now the Democrats want to do it again???to accomplish what? By the way WE are the ???government??? and WE are the ones that have to pay that debt. The money doesn???t just fall out of the sky. I suppose that is a shock if you have never had to work for your money.
So for you Democrats reading this, congratulations in your efforts to win the congress and White House! With enough help from the Republicans you were able to pull this off in spite of yourself. Go Obama/Biden! Yeah team, you are about to enter the Golden Era! All will be right with the world! You can stop reading now and pat yourself on the back for a job well done!
For the Republicans reading this, look long and hard at the situation and ask yourself if you want Republicans to be holding the bag when this finally collapses. We are going to have to put the pieces back together after it is over but we may as well let the authors of this mess get full credit since they will be in charge when the collapse happens. What if it doesn???t collapse you say? It will, the question is can it be pasted together long enough to be handed off to the Democrats???I think so???it is touch and go right now but I think it can be goosed until January.
From reading about the Great Depression as best I can figure the economy lost about 90% of its value. While lots of stupid things were done that are blamed for causing the Depression to last as long as it did the government wasn???t broke???this time the government is broke both in the monetary sense and in leadership once President Bush leaves office. I am afraid that the economy is going to lose about 90% of its value again this time around at a minimum.
We have been living on borrowed time. For anyone that wanted to pay attention there have been a lot of very smart people that were telling us that we only had a decade or so if things continued on the early 2007 path before the government imploded due to going broke. All this crisis is doing is accelerating what was inevitably coming anyway. All the Republicans are doing is getting out of the way while it takes place.

All I have to say is this country is in a real mess right now and the rest of the world is watching how we are handling things. I realize that all this rhetoric is just part of the game and as somebody who tries to hear both sides with an open mind, I find it difficult to listen to mainsream media for any kind of biased opinions when it is a 10/1 odds in favor of Obama for putting out negative campaign adds. McCain simply does not have the funds, nor the support of the media. I watch all of the networks to hear what they have to say and it is a joke. Now McCain gets a lot of crap for every little thing he says or does and I admit , I have questioned his motives a time or two in the last few weeks as well. However question Obama in any way and people will jump down your throat it's not true, waaah and etc... Obviously he cannot take it as well as he can dish it out nor can his supporters.McCain's record speaks for itself, I trust his intentions far more than I would Obama's. Yes, there are things that you can say about McCain that might make you wonder but you have to go back through his entire career to find that kind of information and it's pretty weak at best if you do find anything. Now with Obama it is a different story, you can question his motves from the start of his career to the present. Yes it is pretty weak too, in my opinion but none the less in just two years as a senator there are a lot of questions to be asked. McCain has proven that he will put his country first, nobody can argue that and Obama has yet to prove himself, it's still too early to juge him in that way in his defense. I question McCain's age and his ability to handle the pressure but on the other hand he has endured more hardship than most of us could imagine.and that gives me hope. However, if Palin had to take over, that would make me somewhat nervous. Obama is in good health and is highly intelligent and his intentions are actually quite noble and with Biden backing him up, I do not think it is such a bad thing. Add some of the same people that helped out Clinton and I think you have a pretty decent team. So where does that leave me... it leaves me with a lot of gey hairs and a big headache. I know a salesman when I hear one and Obama is the best in the game. Otherwise he wouldn't be where he is today if he didn't know how to sell himself. McCain(sigh), doesn't seem to get it, if he did I am sure this would be a whole different game. Personally, as a gun owner, I cannot in good faith ever believe that Obama would ever support my rights to own a gun as do many others Dem and Repubs alike share this same feeling as well. Why does this matter so much to me, it's simple , all we hear is talk right now, neither one has laid out a plan that is worth a damn( according to many, many economists, it's just window dressing and they will most likely have to change their ideas around to make it work regardless of who is in office). I am hoping the debate tonight can clear th

It really is simply all about honesty, about who can we trust. Looking at everything today it is literally too important to just follow old prejudices, biases and/or emotional attachments or to allow ourselves to be manipulated by subterfuge. Each of us has to be disciplined to be objective, rational and conscience driven to decide who we can trust to turn things around, to honestly change things. Even Bush???s actions indicate that he knows his policies have failed and that change is desperately needed. Each candidate says they will change everything and resolve the problems but we really can???t depend on what they say, whether it be about what they will do or how they criticize their opponent. Is it Obama-Biden or McCain-Palin who destroys their own credibility by depending on falsely slandering their opponent? Has Sarah Palin impressed that we can trust anything she says or just that she will say anything without any conscience? Has John McCain demonstrated that he is sincere and has he been consistent or does he constantly change positions and does his history of strong commitment to the Bush-Cheney/Republican policies that so greatly contributed to today???s problems just make him very questionable? Has Senator Biden been consistent in his career and does he seem to be consistent and truthful now? Throughout the primaries and the presidential campaign has Barack Obama stayed consistent and maintained a constant quality and the same level headed presentations that would encourage trust? All of the garbage that is being thrown around is distracting but the reality is that the real person we each have to be honest with is ourselves. To fail to see and act on the truth will only leave us at fault and then with more of the same or even worse.

Barack Obama says he will give 95 percent of all American workers a tax cut but does not mention that his plan would send checks to tens of millions of tax filers who pay no personal income taxes - payments that critics say look "suspiciously like welfare."
Mr. Obama's campaign promise, which he has repeated in his speeches and in the presidential debates, stems from his "Making Work Pay" tax cut that will give a $500 refundable tax credit to every worker or $1,000 to each working couple. But because this provision in his economic-recovery plan is "refundable," a large number of middle- to lower-income workers who have no income-tax liability after taking tax credits and deductions the that Internal Revenue Service allows, will be given the equivalent of the tax cut in the form of direct payments from the U.S. Treasury - funded by higher-income taxpayers.
Because the IRS says that nearly 46 million tax filers - one-third of all filers - had no tax liability in 2006, there is the question of how millions of Americans can receive an income "tax cut" when they pay no taxes.
"It's got to raise alarm bells when you claim you are going to cut taxes for 95 percent of working families when more than 40 percent of them pay no income taxes," said Phil Kerpen, policy director at Americans for Prosperity, a grass-roots free-market advocacy group.
Asked whether the transfer of taxes from high earners to middle- and low-income earners was a way of redistributing the nation's income, Mr. Williams said, "You could certainly view it that way because both [tax] proposals are in the same tax plan. There's no question that's one way to perceive the tax plan."
To pay for his middle-class tax cuts, Mr. Obama would raise the top marginal tax rate on Americans earning more than $250,000 to 35 percent from 30.6 percent. According to the IRS, the top 5 percent of all income earners in 2004 paid 57.13 percent of all income taxes.

It is amazing hearing Obama talk about the economy and how bad things are when he can raise 100 MILLION dollars to spend on telling you just how bad things are. I just want to know where is he getting all of that money, month after month to buy votes. I think the US is in a world of hurt, with hurricanes and the morgage mess and personal credit being at an all time high. I read a report that Obama is claiming he can ot be responsible for non US citizens donating money via his web site. Just how much money have these non US citizens donated and why are they donating money to Obama. Is it because he is black and they want a US president, doubt it. Is it because he has a Muslim past and the Arab, very rich countries, want to see someone other than a Christian who sides with Israel in most conflicts, as president. That makes alot of sense. It is time for a real accounting of where Obama gets his money so we can see who really is paying for this presidence and possibly what has Obama promised in return for all their cash.

"Press Releases

AJC Strongly Condemns Rev. Jesse Jackson's Comment on American Jews
October 14, 2008 - New York - The American Jewish Committee (AJC) has condemned the Rev. Jesse Jackson's statement about 'Zionists who have controlled American policy for decades.'
"Rev. Jackson's remarks, which appeared in an interview with the journalist Amir Taheri in today's New York Post, echo classic anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about Jewish power," said AJC Executive Director David A. Harris. 'This statement, regrettably, is not the first troubling comment by Rev. Jackson regarding Israel, Zionism and the Jewish people.'

Arguing as a private citizen that an Obama administration could bring significant change to U.S. foreign policy, Jackson was quoted as saying that "Zionists who have controlled American policy for decades" would lose much of their influence should Senator Obama be elected president."

And people are upset about raciest comments some in the crowd are allegedly saying at Palin events? Isn't this the same Democrat leader who once called New York "Hymietown"?

Obama looked right into the American people's eyes and said, I will not vote to raise taxes if elected to the senate, but as soon as he got in, he voted to raise every tax there was and against every tax break for the middle class that he says he cares about so much. Now, he is saying the same things again, are we supposed to believe him again? He left his true plan slip the other day to the plumber, by telling him about his "spread the wealth" plan, that will take money from hard working people and give it to the ones who have done nothing and the ones collecting welfare. He also lied when he said he voted for the 2nd amendment, it has
been proven by showing his signature, that he voted against it every time. He says he is for women's right for equal pay for women, he is for the Jewish community, he is for hispanics, gun owners, and small businesses... but it has been proven that he has done nothing for any of them, even when he had a chance to do so! He lied about Wright saying he never heard him say those racist, anti American things, then proved he lied by saying he did... If he don't agree with Wright, then why days before Wright was exposed, did Obama tell us all how great his friend and mentor was? And how can such a hateful, racist person be his mentor? He lied about Ayers. He first said he just lived by him, then he said he just worked in the same co. then he said he didn't know what Ayers did, then he said he though Ayers was reformed. Reformed from what, if he didn't know what Ayers did??? Also, why did he back Ayers anti American teachings and his radical book, even after he read the book and saw the pic. of Ayers standing on the American flag in the dirt? I could go on all day, but the bottom
line is, Obama has proven all by himself that he cannot be trusted! And anyone who does trust him, is a FOOL!

NObama has spent all of his challengers 3:1, which tells one thing, and only one thing about him and that is that he is BUYING THIS ELECTION.

YOU FOOLiSh people . . .

So, it is the economy and the American voters will trust their future with NObama - who has no executive experience, no administrative experience - and how much do you want to bet that his wife is the one who balances their home budget????

Sorry, I think I entered that twice.
