McCain Misses the Point (again..)

In Wednesday night’s debate, Obama opened himself up on taxes again and John McCain refused to take the opening.  Once again Obama has spoken proudly about taxing the rich, but also added that he would give tax breaks to businesses that create jobs in the United States.

Let’s assume for a moment that you are a business owner.  You can either keep your jobs overseas and avoid the ridiculously high tax rate in America, or you can create jobs here, pay the taxes up front, and collect on the back end.  Hmmm, money in the bank, or money in the government’s hands???  Tough decision.

John McCain should be pointing out that ANY tax on business will end up coming out of the pockets of working Americans.  If a business pays higher taxes, they are going to pass on that higher tax to you.  Some will eliminate jobs to save money.

It is clear that never having a real job has seriously affected Obamination’s ideas about how a free-market economy actually works.

Democrats Are Not Sheep

I have to admit that I was tempted to call Obamination voters “sheep”, but after some short consideration I decided against it.
It is true that sheep will follow blindly, with little concern for the direction they are going. This doesn’t really go far enough in describing those that have decided to follow Obama.
The best parallel is probably the lemming. Following a leader that has no qualification other than a particular charisma, they throw themselves into an ocean that will be their doom.
This is how Obama’s fans behave. They don’t know where they are going, why they are going there, and when the abyss is described to them, they only run that much faster to the edge.
Ask his proponents why he should be president, and his own advisors can barely get past undefined “change”.
If Obamination wins the White House, I will do my best to stand aside and let the lemmings throw themselves from the precipice, but I worry that they could take the whole country with them.
