One more - honestly.

I know, it's not sports related. But check this story out, and I promise I'll go on a rampage about Brett Favre as soon as possible.

This article speaks in financial terms about the risks associated with electing Senator Obama President. In short, his tax plans to raise the taxes against the rich will hamper the large companies and businesses ability to continue to produce. In a market full of waning consumer confidence, falling stocks, and a housing market in the toilet, I don't think discouraging those with the ability to build jobs and industry should burden a larger financial blow.

Let's cut the politico speak for a minute. In this country, there are certain people willing to work harder to become uber-successful. I'm not talking about a well paying job, home, and family. ANYONE, and I believe this, ANYONE can make it to the middle class.

However, not ANYONE can work hard and make it to the top 10% earners in America. This is not because we have ceilings protecting the wealthiest people from us "peasants". The reality is, sorry liberals, some people are just plain SMART. They use those smarts to become lawyers, doctors, business owners. The take incredible risks, either with 6 digit student loan debts, or by gambling their life savings on an idea for an emerging business. They invest wisely, but again with risk, not assuming their company's 401(k) and Social Security will be enough for them to retire with. They are not brain washed by a media determined to convince Americans that this government ought to take care of their every need. The article pulls this as a quote, which I think many outsiders might find interesting:

It's also concern that Obama's tax plans would make the federal government even more reliant on relatively few high-income people to pay most U.S. taxes -- and thereby provide less incentive for business owners to augment their wealth by growing their companies.
Strangely enough, government statistics show that the U.S. tax system is already evolving into one in which a majority of Americans pay little or nothing. Between 1999 and 2006, evidence suggests that the number of tax filers who had no income tax liability after taking advantage of credits and deductions grew to nearly 44 million, according to the Tax Foundation, a nonpartisan think tank in Washington, D.C., and Duke University law professor Lawrence Zelenak.

Did you catch that? Some 44 million people in this country use credits and deductions to pay NO TAXES. Do you think that one, just one!, of those people is whom Obama's liberal tax policy is targeting to help burden the load of his leftist agenda? NO! He wants to attack the pocketbook of the people already paying close to 40% of their income in taxes, so the people stupid enough to believe his crap will be able to free load another year without paying a DIME!

I'm not opposed to taxes. In fact, in today's world, they are necessary. There are people who need help in our society, and certain things our government should provide. A liberal leader hell bent on creating a tax system even more unjustifiably unfair than the currnt one is NOT one of those things.
