What I Heard On The Radio Today


From Obama's comments about "spreading the wealth around", I heard the commentator on the radio call that Socialism. I am coming out and saying I am just not for that. I don't think that people in government today can be honest enough to do it correctly.
Instead of waiting for Mr. Rich down the street to pay his taxes so I can get benefits, I would rather teach the importance of education, good choices, thinking ahead, what you want to do with your life, achievement! Everyone can go to college - Tim proved that! I don't get Obama when he talks about making college available to all. I thought it already was; maybe not Yale, Harvard, USC, but certainly your community college will do fine.
We have all given money to someone needy on the street before, that was our CHOICE. I would not like to be FORCED to do it. I heard someone say today that "Cuba was a beautiful place, they were all poor together". That doesn't sound like the America I want.
Raising taxes during a time of a soft economy is VERY bad. The last President who did that was Herbert Hoover and that caused the great depression. hmm
