The only battle inside the battle between Obama vs McCain that the pundits like to talk about is black vs white issue, how there might be a "Bradley Effect" November 4th casusing McCain to win, but there is another battle brewing, waiting to explode. Its the battle of incomes in America. The question from "Joe the Plummer" and Obama's subsequent answer hits the nail of the head and McCain only now is hitting the point home and I hope its not too late. Its Socialism peole, Obama wants to spread the weatlth from hard working America's to ones looking for a handout. Sarah Palin is right, the middle class is mad, John McCain is mad and we are not going to take it anymore. Nobody said the American dream comes easy, but its still alive, no matter what we hear every four years from the candidates from both sides. All it takes is a little hard work and sacrifce.
If we elect Barack Obama and his far left views, along with the Democraticaly controled congress, the dream might have to be put on life support. Innovations and job growth depends on having incentivies for people to risk their money and time so one day it will pay them dividends to become rich. If all we are going to do is "spread the wealth" why should someone take risk and sacrifices to invent something to improve our lives or grow a business, if they know that their fruits of their labor will go for more handouts and entitlement plans to those who don't deserve it. I am not saying that everyone who is down on their luck are bums, but I believe that there are better ways to weed out these people. We should INVEST in job training programs, lower corporate taxes (third highest in the world) and regulations to give business the incentive to keep jobs from going overseas. We shouldn't blame corporations for going overseas, they are just running their business to achieve maximum return for their shareholders, which most Americans are. Democrats need to realize without business and the jobs they create we would be like China with mostly government supported work and a very low standard of living. I think that most Democrats have never taken a basic economic class if they would have they would create a business environment that is friendly to business not as the ones who drive them overseas.
Obama's so called tax cuts which McCain has also hit a home run with, saying that if the bottom 40% of Americans dont' pay any taxes. This tax cut is acutally a tax credit, where people who has paid NO taxes will be getting a rebate in the mail. This is a slap to all middle income families across America, where is our relief???
Come November 4th I hope when voters enter the booth they hear the words spoken by Obama "spread the wealth" and realize where their hard earn money is going and vote McCain.
