True Colors Shining Through

The Democrats have been hiding their most basic agenda for some time. It almost started to appear that Democrats were learning how to handle the economy (which is not to say that Bush as done great things by any means) with talks of the need to cut spending. I've heard Democrats speak of cuts in spending from party leaders and presidential candidates, right down to the run of the mill congress men and women. Republicans started spending like it was going out of style and it was the folks on the left who were critical to point out ear marks and government waste. Time and time again, I've even heard the good folks on the left talk about how the poor and middle class needs the tax relief and the rich need to pay more.

Just two days ago, the Democrats that I grew up to know...finally showed their true colors. "Tax and Spend" Democrats are back! Both houses of congress just put plans together for tax increases. Both houses included HUGE increases in domestic programs....to compliment the massive tax increases. The dollar isn't worth a shit right now. The deficit spending is through the roof. The national debt is out of control. In general, I only support tax cuts, however, in order to pay off debt, I would support a small tax increase only on the condition that there be heavy cuts in spending. With a cut in spending and an increase in tax revenue, the ability to control the falling cost of the dollar can be stabilized. Democrats, who believe they magically know more about managing the economy want to tax more and spend more. Balanced or not, that still does not do anything for improving the economy, or recovering lost ground on the dollar. Let's talk about tax relief for a moment. In the proposed bills, the Dems want to increase that taxes for single people making at least $31,850 and double that for couples. Now...where is the relief for the middle class on that one? As for the poor....here's a news flash...POOR PEOPLE DON'T PAY TAX. If they do make enough to pay tax....it's not a lot of money anyway. Are the Dems going after the rich...of course. They get the joy of paying 39% of their income to the Federal Government so it can be thrown away on projects and programs that don't even benefit them, nor the middle class. This all means that a guy making 350K per year can go ahead and give the Feds $136,500. Now....I would like someone to tell me if it's "Fair" (A favorite word from the Democratic Dictionary) to pay $136,000 and get absolutely nothing? Look at it this way. That is also $136,000 that could have gone towards the purchase of homes, cars, vacations, goods and services. All of which would have been able to take that money and employ people, and therefore, provide more money to an economy.

Oh but, I forgot....what about the poor? It's about time the lazy get off their fat asses and contribute to this country. As for the poor and helpless....well...with money flooding the economy, lazy ass people back at work because jobs have finally been created and sales are on the rise...then...this country should be more than capable taking care of those who ACTUALLY can not take care of themselves.

Unfortunately, none of that will happen while our leaders fleece millions from those who can actually make a difference and give it to programs and bureaucracy that has a proven track record of blowing billions without being able to make any difference. We as citizens need to cut back when we fall on hard financial times....why shouldn't our government be equally to the people that it governs? After all....that was the basic concept of the constitution.

So...for me...It's John McCain. I don't like him, I don't like the fact that the republicans have been out of control with spending. But...I do like the fact that he does support cutting the spending that is out of control. If you keep the taxes reasonable, and you cut the spending...this country will "Right" itself.

I'm running for President and I support this message.
