1) Obama says he will give 95% of American working families a tax cut even though 40% of Americans today don’t pay income taxes! How will this seemingly impossible trick be performed? They’ll be a “refundable tax credit” which means that the federal government will take money from those who do pay taxes and give it to those who don’t.
2) Mr. Obama will kick-start the economy by raising taxes on the very businesses that are perhaps being hardest hit by the present financial crisis. The top 1% of taxpayers are the small-business owners that are also the nation’s biggest employers and they already pay some of the highest corporate tax rates in the developed world.
3) Mr. Obama says he will re-regulate the economy with no ill effects whatsoever which is a line that we’ve heard in different forms for decades. How will this trick be performed? No problem, the government will simply clamp down on innovation and risk-taking using new all-encompassing rules.
4) Obama will offer the public a “voluntary government health plan” that will free us from private enterprise and eliminate all other choices, and if you don’t see how this differs from our failing Medicare program then it seems that you’re simply not understanding the ‘details’.
5) Mr. Obama will uphold America’s “moral obligation to prevent genocide” by disowning Iraq; convince Iranian leaders to abandon their nuclear ambitions; fix the problems in Afghanistan without using a ‘surge’ even though it did prove effective in Iraq. All of which raises the question, “Why didn’t someone else think of this stuff?”.
6) Mr. Obama will spend billions transforming our energy economy, provide all necessary financial assistance to former Soviet satellites, boost infrastructure, increase education spending and provide job training assistance without and all without raising the deficit!
I think his plans are fantastic and if you believe he can make them happen then you should vote for him and so should every other patriotic American.
