<p>Just wondering if all you Obama supporters realize that he is practically a Communist with all of his ideas about “Redistribution of Wealth”. He likes to throw around the expression “Economic Justice” - that’s a “code word” for “Socialism”.</p>
<p>There is an article in Investor’s Business Daily (July 29 edition) entitled, “Barack Obama’s Stealth Socialism”. That’s the first in a series.</p>
<p>Among his proposals:</p>
<ul>
<li>“Universal”, “guaranteed” Health Care</li>
<li>“Free” College tuition</li>
<li>“Universal national service” (a la Havana)</li>
<li>“Universal 404(k)s” (in which gov’t would match contributions made by “low-and moderate-income families”).</li>
<li>"Free job training (even for criminals).</li>
<li>“Wage insurance” (to supplement dislocated union workers’ old income levels).</li>
<li>“Free” child care and “universal” preschool</li>
<li>More subsidized public housing.</li>
<li>A fatter earned income tax credit for “working poor”.</li>
<li>And even a Global Poverty Act that amounts to a Marshall Plan for the third world, first & foremost, Africa.</li>
</ul>
<p>And that’s just for starters. He’s already said he’ll increase taxes. When taxes are increased, it’s the middle class that suffers because, in addition to paying more taxes themselves, businesses must lay off workers when the corporate taxes get too high - and who do you think gets laid off? Why the middle class, generally.</p>
<p>Anyway, I know lots of people are “caught up in the moment” w/ BO, his platitudes & his historic candidacy, but stop for a second & think about what’s really best for our country - and its people. We need to keep taxes low, minimize government intervention in our lives & keep the “decision-making” apparatus of government close to the people. We certainly don’t need more & bigger central government controlling more and more of our lives - and the U.S. Government does not need to get into the health care business!</p>
<p>This is serious. Do you really want to take a giant leap toward Socialism? That’s what’s in store w/ a BO Administration.</p>
