"The unwealthy likewise, will not become wealthy."


That statement is true. That is the fundamental problem with Obama's plan. The tax credits and the redistribution of wealth he has favored in the past and continues to favor now will not make the poor that much better off.


The economy doesn't build from the bottom up. See, Eastern Europe, Russia, Cuba. Redistribution of wealth just means everyone gets poorer. Well except maybe Obama, Pelosi, Reed and all the people who will take advantage of the huge, inefficient government they have been lusting after...

THIS SIGN WAS PLACED ON THE EMPLOYEE ENTRANCE DOOR TO A BUSINESS AND ALSO SENT TO NEIL BOORTZ THIS MORNING, WHICH HE READ.

CHANGES IN THE WORKPLACE

As of November 5, 2008, IF Obama officially becomes president-elect, our company will instill a few new policies which are in keeping with his new, inspiring issues of change and fairness:

1. All salespeople will be pooling their sales and bonuses into a common pool that will be divided equally between all of you. This will serve to give those of you who are under-achieving a "fair shake".

2. All low level workers will be pooling their wages, including overtime, into a common pool, dividing it equally amongst you. This will help those who are "too busy for overtime" to reap the rewards from those who have more spare time and can work extra hours.

3. All top management will now be referred to as "the government." We will not participate in this "pooling" experience because the law doesn't apply to us.

4. The "government" will give eloquent speeches to all employees every week, encouraging its workers to continue to work hard "for the good of all".

5. The employees will be thrilled with these new policies because it's "good to spread the wealth around". Those of you who have underachieved will finally get an opportunity; those of you who have worked hard and had success will feel more "patriotic".

6. The last few people who were hired should clean out their desks. Don't feel bad, though, because President Obama will give you free healthcare, free handouts, free oil for heating your home, free food stamps, and he'll let you stay in your home for as long as you want even if you can't pay your mortgage. If you appeal directly to our democratic congress, you might even get a free flat screen TV and a coupon for free haircuts (shouldn't all Americans be entitled to nice looking hair?).

If for any reason you are not happy with the new policies, you may want to rethink your vote on November 4th.

"Always remember that you are Americans, and it is your birthright to dream great dreams in this sweet and blessed land, truly the greatest, freest, strongest nation on Earth." — Ronald Reagan


Obama is willing to sell your birthright - the opportunity to dream great dreams - for a few votes.
