Why is it so difficult for people to see this? Obama speaks well ... but he says nothing. He talked about his plans to "cut spending" yet he has not named one program he is going to cut to support his massive spending agenda.

He says he is only going to raise taxes on those that make over $250m which happens to be the individuals and small businesses that pay 96% of all taxes already.

When he says he is going to reduce or cut taxes on 95% of americans ... 40% of americans already pay no taxes so that is not a tax cut, that is redistribution of wealth.

The top 1% of wage earners in the US pay close to 50% of all taxes and Obama feels they should pay even more.

Obama's agenda is so scary, and it looks like he may win because the american people just feel well we should try something different .... but then we are going wake up one day and realize he has chaged the best capitalist society in to a socialist nation and destroyed individuals motivation to take risk, work harder and create jobs to realize the potential rewards. Instead it will be a governament society that people will look to have them take care of them.

It is the bird feeder approach. You put a bird feeder out and at first everyone loves the birds. Then more and more come and build nests. So you need to keep putting more and more bird feed out there. Then if you miss a day the birds get angry and make a mess and there is bird sh*t all over. So you take the bird feeder down and the birds go away and have to find their own food.

Obama's approach is for government to be the bird feeder.
