ALL they have left is "Tax and Spend."
If I may share this post from a Conservative messageboard (just celebrate with me).

"First of all, I don't believe the polls. I think McCain is going to win on election day. That aside, if the polls are indeed accurate, then I think they reflect a giving up by the American people. Who are these "undecided independents?" Everyone with a brain knows that Obama is going to soak the rich, and redistribute wealth. He doesn't deny it. Traditional, hard-working Americans have always been averse to handouts and believe in putting food on their table through the sweat of their brow. If these polls are accurate, I think they reflect a sad "giving up" of the American ideal ... people saying that they can't make it on their own, and want Uncle Barry to take money from the "rich" (like Joe the Plumber) who have the audacity, the temerity to earn more than $250K per year, and give it to them. People who don't pay income tax in the first place should not get "tax cuts." Period.

Very sad to see a hard-working, industrious, country go down the drain."


Oh noez!

1. Yeah, about that.
Industrious? We hardly make anything, anymore. Manufacturing has been outsourced.

There is, however, one form of manufacturing job that doesn't appear to have gone anywhere. Remember this?

2. Ooooh here's another good one.
"Communist infiltration of our academic system has been very effective.


When the precious polls start showing that the majority of college grads are overwhelming supporting a Marxist like Obama, you know there is a problem there. "

And they're going to sap our precious bodily fluids!!

5. Most "middle class" folks don't pay their share as it is.
What's wrong with wealth redistribution? It's been going on for a long time. A very small portion of the citizens already pay the lion's share of income taxes. A little more or less, what's the difference?

Does anyone remember any history? Left to their own devices, a small number of talented, motivated or in some cases, greedy people will end up owning everything. In this country, we have decided that's a bad thing. Maybe it is. If you use history as a guide, the serfs will eventually revolt and revolts are bad for business and commerce.
