The Future Under King Obama

Quoting The Washington Times:

“Reporter Christina Bellantoni of The Washington Times will be kicked off of Barack Obama's campaign plane starting Nov. 2, making it much more difficult to cover the candidate during the critical final days of the election. The Obama campaign insists that politics had nothing to do with it. We note that all three newspapers that had reporters booted from the plane — The Times, the New York Post and the Dallas Morning News — endorsed John McCain. An Obama spokesman insists it is just a coincidence.”

And, if you believe that Obama line, I have some fraudulent ACORN voter registrations to sell you!

Welcome to a glimpse of the future under King Obama.

British Sanity

Quoting the U.K. TimesOnline:

“A wave of public support for the Armed Forces has swelled recruitment and contributions to military charities such as the Poppy Appeal.”

Even as Americans toy with the idea of electing a candidate who promises to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in Iraq, the Brits offer up a refreshing dose of sanity.

If Obama is elected, maybe the Brits can keep the world safe until Americans regain their sanity (assuming Obama does not prove to be another Hugo Chavez, leaving us no opportunity to regain our sanity).

An Obama Win Will Be More Than Historic

Quoting Thomas Sowell:

“Some elections are routine, some are important and some are historic. If Sen. John McCain wins this election, it will probably go down in history as routine. But if Sen. Barack Obama wins, it is more likely to be historic — and catastrophic.

Once the election is over, the glittering generalities of rhetoric and style will mean nothing. Everything will depend on performance in facing huge challenges, domestic and foreign.

Performance is where Barack Obama has nothing to show for his political career, either in Illinois or in Washington.

Policies that he proposes under the banner of ‘change’ are almost all policies that have been tried repeatedly in other countries — and failed repeatedly in other countries.”

As disturbing as this assessment is, it only skims the surface of the catastrophe that would result from an Obama-Reid-Pelosi regime.

This is not unreasoned fear mongering from the black helicopter crowd. These are sober assessments from those who are capable of applying critical thinking skills against an understanding of history.

I fear for our country and our world in a way that I have NEVER feared before. It is a well reasoned fear.

Spreading the Wealth and Killing the Goose

Quoting Gregory V. Helvering (a pseudonym) at American Thinker
(I inserted the link):

“John McCain put his finger on an important point: we currently have an extraordinarily progressive income tax, which requires the wealthy (and the relatively wealthy) to bear virtually the entire burden of the income tax. Obama wants to spread the wealth not because the wealthy do not currently bear their fair share of supporting the government. He wants to spread the wealth because he views the wealth itself as unfair.”

“For 2006 (the latest year for which statistics are available), the share of the federal income tax paid by the top 1 percent of tax returns reached an all-time high -- 40% of all federal income taxes. The top 50% paid 97% of the tax. The bottom 50% paid only 3% of it.”

“For progressives, the goal is not ultimately to create more tax revenue for the government, but to equalize the income of the citizenry. So increased taxes from the rich are not a solution if they mean the rich made more money compared to others. In fact, even if the tax cuts end up making the tax system more progressive, that simply exacerbates the problem: the ‘gap’ between rich and poor.”

“Obama believes the main thing is to make the capital gains tax ‘fair,’ regardless of what history shows about the relationship between rates and revenue. He does not appreciate that tax incentives for investing increases the amount of investing, which in turn expands business, creates more jobs and produces more income - and thus more tax.

The JFK tax cuts proved it; the Reagan tax cuts proved it; the capital gains tax cut that a Republican Congress forced on Bill Clinton proved it; and the Bush tax cuts proved it again. It is not a theoretical argument. The latest cold, dry IRS statistics demonstrate it once again.

If Obama is elected next week, we will all be treated to another history lesson about why societies that sought ‘fairness’ by taking massive amounts of money from one part of society to give to another (not simply to fulfill a governmental duty of providing a safety net, but for the affirmative purpose of ‘redistributive change’), not only did not create ‘fairness,’ but in fact made matters significantly worse for everyone.”

Note: Unfortunately, a large number of Americans seem to prefer learning the hard way rather than taking a lesson from history. How frustrating!

Corporate Taxes - Emotional Satisfaction vs. Reality

Here is a heads up to everybody who is voting for Obama or anybody else who advocates for higher business taxes.

Obama’s rhetoric is inspiring. It’s a completely boneheaded, counterproductive fantasy. But, it certainly sounds good, it’s well delivered and it is, for some, very emotionally satisfying.

Just remember, the following video shows you what you’re really voting for. I sure hope the fantasy based emotional satisfaction is worth it. Because, in the real world, if the tax and spend Liberals win, we all lose (every time).
