I do not want politics on my blog but I have to say, regarding Obama's plan of extra taxes for those over $250,000 and "Spread the wealth", the following:
Spreading the wealth is a socialist idea. Although many countries employ socialism, it does not work very well. Ask yourself, "who is going to spread their wealth to you anyway? and who is doing the spreading?
The $250,000 idea is ridiculous. In some states that's a lot of money, in others, it's the bare necessity. How is he reconciling this fact?
Well, that's my two cents worth (am I taxed on two cents?). I'm not telling who I am voting for because, as always, their are positives and negatives. We seem to always have to choose "the lesser of two evils". But I do see one as much less capable of "evil."
We really need a third party for checks and balances (that our government is so proud of) and to offer a 3rd party perspective. Maybe this 3rd party would take the best of both parties.
