When
a liberal promises any kind of tax cut, especially a far-lefty, beware!
It sounds too good to be true. Sen. Barack Obama shed new light on his
economic plans for the country, saying he would rely on a heavy dose of
government spending to spur growth, use the tax code to narrow the
widening gap between winners and losers in the U.S. economy, and
possibly back a reduction in corporate tax rates.
The first two items sound like a left-wing democrat. After all
Government spending is a cure-all in the liberal world. Throw money at
it and it will go away. Taxing those who are doing well and giving the
revenue to those who aren't doing so well o0r just are not motivated
enough to do well, is definitely left-wing. You may couch it as trying
to narrow the gap between the winners and the losers, but it is still
redistribution of wealth.
But a reduction in corporate taxes....that sounds like a right-wing
plan. And, how does it jive with a windfall profit tax? So, what the
Democrat Messiah is saying is that you can make money, but just not a
lot of it. Also, don't work too hard because the government is going to
narrow the gap between you and those who don't work too hard. This is a
message of hope? This is change we can believe in?
This sounds familiar. It sounds like Jimmy Carter. Anyone remember
1977? Is this the second term that Carter was denied by the Gods?
