LOL at 'Joe the plumber'.
I guess I'm just not into the whole Obama 'relief' promises. I would say that I'm decidedly upper-middle class, but I know that when you are 'helping' out one group another one will suffer. I don't believe in leveling the playing field in this instance. I don't think that we should be giving hand-outs or 'sharing the wealth' as Obama is preaching. I have a real problem with having to fix other people's lives, because of there own poor decision making. I know (for all you bleeding heart liberals) that not everyone could help what was happening to them, but why are there lines around the corner the first day of the month at the Social Services building. Then the next day, those same people are lounging around outside, doing NOTHING. 'Welfare to work' is a crock of isht.
Sorry for my morning rant, but encountered a guy early today who's on SSD. His reason for being on SSD: 'I get mad. I can't be at a job, because I'll just get mad and walk off.' I see how BO's wanting to help with tax relief, but I just don't think that he sees the domino affect of it all. Raise tax on big business --> big business moves jobs overseas to save money --> unemployment rates increase. This is a very bare bones hypothesis, obviously there is more to it than that. Linked to what we talked about in the other thread, just because you can afford it, why do you have to pay more? Why should I work harder? I'll just stay in my station.
I also think that's why he seemed almost smug and flippant when McCain asked him questions. He had a 'whatever, I've already won' attitude to me. There are people who really take his 'associations' whatever they may be seriously, I was disappointed to see his attitude. I just can't believe that people are so gung-ho to put a 47-year-old, junior senator in office. Do you ever wonder why Chavez has supported BO? Because, he's a pushover, easy to manipulate!
