Socialism = Death
Obama has recently gone above and beyond in proving himself the absolute farthest from deserving our votes when he came right out and told Joe Plumber about the "great" plans he has for our health and financial future, all amounting to the very definition of ("spreading the wealth around") socialism. Anyone who actually believes Obama's plan is good idea needs to be committed - rewarding hard work and planning by taking away what is earned to give to the guy who sits on his ass all day watching TV is pure insanity. Create more jobs? I don't think so. This way of thinking will actually result in significantly fewer jobs (because every new job = more taxes to the companies and why work when everyman is rewarded the most for doing the least).. and very likely lower paying jobs at that, since someone has to cover all the additional money the "rich" companies will be forced to pay - and we all know it won't be them.
"[...] distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done." - Socialism, Merriam-Websters Dictionary
"We Conservatives can claim to have foreseen, predicted and explained this collapse almost from the beginning, when socialism was merely an intellectual theory. But the more it was put into practice, the more we could point out its inevitable flaws and inherent unworkability. In the 1970s we saw this failure in a system of high taxation and suffocating regulation that discouraged hard work, deterred enterprise and imposed stagflation on our economies. In the 1980s we saw this failure in an educational system that couldn't teach all children the essentials of language, maths and civic virtues. And today we see this failure in a welfare system that keeps millions of people hooked on dependency." - Claire Boothe Luce Lecture - Margaret Thatcher (September 23, 1991)
Socialism has been tried over and over around the world throughout history and every single time it has not only failed horribly, but also destroyed whole civilizations in it's wake. While I agree that Obama does put forth some interesting ideas which could bring positive change to our floundering country, his (along with all those tricked into believing that what he plans is "positive" in any way, shape, or form) willingness to embrace a system of society that will absolutely (and provably) bring about the very end of everything we all know and love is the only reason needed to toss this dirt bag out of not only the presidential race but also every other position he now or will ever hold in our government. If you honestly believe this is the way we need to go, I recommend you tear your fat ass off the couch long enough to read about any of the dozens of nations now in ruin from believing as you do. At the very least, take some of the free health care that you're about to receive and use it to get your head examined.
