Halloween 2008: Hope Not

The Democrats are tipping their hand at what they plan to do to America when they get hold of all three branches of the federal government. Charlie Rangel of New York has written a tax plan that will do away with the Alternative Minimum Tax. That is a good thing. The Alternative Minimum Tax is an odious tax that is now infringing on middle class taxpayers. Democrats are now feeling the heat over the Alternative Minimum Tax and want to do away with it. Their solution is to put a surcharge on every single person that earns over $150,000 per year or a couple that earns over $200,000 per year. That plus the expiration of the Bush tax cuts will mean the top rate will go from 35% to 44% of income. That is just on income. They also plan to remove the cap on the amount that can be taxed for social security.

 

The Democrats plan to place the country into a depression by the end of 2010. That will be great for Republican politicians. It will be bad for Americans. If you want more of something, reduce the cost. If you want more tax money coming in, reduce taxes. If you want less money coming in, raise taxes. Their increase in taxes will lower revenue to the federal treasury. That will increase the amount the federal government will have to borrow each year which will raise interest rates. Their plan is a plan for disaster. Anyone who can add 1+1=2 should be able to see it. Unfortunately, it seems as if people are not looking with their eyes. They only see the chance to elect the first woman as President. That vote will make them feel good. It will also send the country down the toilet.

 

I am afraid that if the Democrats get into power in 2008, they will manufacture a reason for them to remain in power forever. They will claim that the Constitution is out of date and no longer applies to us in this day and age. Mrs. Bill Clinton will have to stay in power to hob knob with her friends, Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez, among others.

 

I heard or read that we are in some ways more corrupt than the Weimar Republic that elected Hitler. I feel that we have our replacement for that maniacal ruler in Mrs. Bill Clinton. Instead of National Socialism, we will get Communism. It will not happen on day one. Hitler did not topple the Weimar Republic on day one. He bid his time until he had his ducks in a row and everything was set to run the coup. I believe that Mrs. Bill Clinton and her cronies will do just like the Brown Shirts did in Germany all those years ago. They will foment discontent until a savior has to emerge in the form of Mrs. Bill Clinton. She will then suspend all rights and institute martial law.

 

Our founders saw this day coming over 200 years ago. That is why the second amendment to the Constitution is there. It would be difficult to institute martial law with so many guns in the hands of American Patriots. The government would have a difficult time taking all those weapons, unless they could fool people into giving them up. I doubt that would happen. Americans are pretty protective of their guns. The government could bad the sale of guns and ammunition. That would hamper people from defending themselves. There are enough guns and ammunition in the public for a good resistance to develop.

 

I hope that saner heads prevail in the 2008 election and Republicans regain control of at least one house of Congress and the Presidency. That would insure that we will remain free and prosperous for at least 4 more years. That is one problem with American democracy; you can only guarantee your freedoms 4 years at a time.

 

I cannot think of a single reason to vote for Mrs. Bill Clinton except for the fact that she is the first credible female candidate. But, that is no reason to vote for anyone. You should never vote for someone based on something they cannot change. If you vote on race or gender, you will frequently be unhappy with your choice. If you vote on what the person believes, you will always be happy with your choice.
