Thank you, Joe Wurzelbacher.  You may have saved an election.

While you can’t help but shake your head at people like Tony Rezko, Jeremiah Wright, and Bill Ayers, nothing will get the attention of a free market capitalist like hearing a major presidential candidate say that he thinks it’s a good idea to “spread the wealth around”.  But when Barack Obama dropped his Marxist bombshell on Joe the Plumber and the rest of America, it may have been the moment that John McCain needed.

When in the middle of a horrible recession, can anything sound worse to job producers than communist rhetoric?  The whole conversation with Joe the Plumber gives insight into Obama’s recession building economic policies.  Obama wants to raise taxes on everyone making over $250,000.  Why?  These are the people who make the country work.  They create jobs, own businesses, make impulse buys, and invest in other companies.  Now, more than ever, we need these people to be able to use their money for these purposes.

The American Dream is about being as successful as you can be.  What does it say to those still dreaming if the American government comes in and says “you have earned enough, now it’s time to take more from you”? Or how about wanting to put more taxes on corporations?  Yes, large corporations can afford to pay more taxes, but charge them to much, and they can also afford to move to another country, and take those jobs with them.  Or how about that energy independence everyone wants?  The more money you take from Exxon, the less money they have to research new forms of energy.

I’d bet all the money in the world that any boss you have will have more money than you.  I may just speak for myself, but I want any future boss of mine to have as much money as possible.  From past experiences, I’ve learned that when my boss doesn’t have a lot of money, I tend to lose my job.  That’s not helpful to ones economic standing.

Why do we need to tax everything?  Because the government lives in a culture of debt worse then the citizens.  Our brilliant government has decided that it’s a good idea to not only tax everything, but pay for everything as well.  Washington has a refusal to cut spending, no matter how necessary.  They see an infinite amount of money at their disposal.  They just have to take it out of our pockets first.  You know what happens to a company that spends more than it earns?  It goes under.  Our government went under back in the 1940s.  We have been screwed into keeping it in business.

What ever happened to spending the money you have earned, and not the money you have yet to receive?  If it’s not in your pocket, don’t spend it, and I guarantee you won’t have debt issues.
It is one of the “Undeniable Truths of Life”.  No nation has ever taxed itself into prosperity.  This, apparently, means nothing to America

Last February, Denis Prager wrote an article titled “Liberals Don’t Ask ‘What Happens Next?’”.  To date, I don’t believe truer words have ever been spoken.  The left comes up with what they think are great ideas, but don’t look at the consequences of their actions.  They don’t realize what higher taxes on the rich means to the middle class, that they are trying so hard to fight for.  Tax the rich too much, and the middle class becomes the lower class.  It’s about time the government realizes that we earned our money, they didn’t.
