This is truly a sad day for our Republic. Please note that I did not call it a "democracy" as we are not. We are a constitutional republic. But I digress.
Over 60 million Americans voted for a Marxist for President. Apparently those 60 million like the idea of sitting on their fat rear ends while the achievers work to make the money which government will take and redistribute to those
less fortunate - those who didn't "win life's lottery," to quote former Congressman Dick Gephardt.
Democrats will apparently never learn that raising taxes hurt the economy as well as decrease government revenue. Well, they will just won't finance our military as they truly despise it anyway. They don't like the idea that we are the 800 lb. gorilla on the international scene. This is something that I just cannot fathom. Power in the hands of the good is good, but power in the hands of the evil is evil.
Back to the taxes. Reagan dropped the highest marginal tax rate from 70% - meaning that 70% of one's income was seized by the government then spread around to those who didn't earn it - to somewhere betwee 23-28%. And (gasp!) the government had
more tax revenue!
But promising to raise taxes on the rich is a tried-and-true campaign tactic utilized by the Marxist Lefties.
Another sign that our freedom, if not our country, is disappearing is that senior Senator from New York, Chuck Schumer, was running around yesterday during the election coverage and touting how he wanted to bring back the Fairness Doctrine which would destroy talk radio, one of my vices. The Democrats have had it in for talk radio since the Voter Revolution of 1994 when Rush Limbaugh was instrumental in getting the word out to voters about who was right and who was liberal. He exposed the Leftists for what they really were now they want to destroy him and his healthy 8-digit income. Not to mention that Barack Hussein Obama would love nothing more than to get rid of Sean Hannity since he made it known, on the campaign trail, that he was not too fond of the talk show host.
The Fariness Doctrine dictates that any radio station that broadcasts a conservative show must match the exact amount of time with a liberal host. Well, liberal talk show hosts don't jive with the populace (re: Air America) so these radio stations will either be forced to lose money during liberal shows or just change formats altogether.
That 1st Amendment sure is a favorite tenet of the Democrat Party as long as it is not being used to expose them.
There was so much at stake during this election - including personal freedom - but the dumb masses apparently don't want freedom. They would rather have security and be a slave to the government. Well, they got what they wanted, but did they have sell the rest of us into bondage as well?
