We've Come Full Circle and.....Forgotten History Entirely

Let me just start out by saying, I'm proud to live in a country that in less than 75 years over came tremendous racial bias to elect the first African American president. This was the part of history I am glad was forgotten, the racism and prejudice.

America you need to look further back and realize you forgot another big part of your history. Not only in the presidential election but in the House and the Senate. America was a country founded by individuals who believe in freedom. The most important freedoms for those people, who are often referred to as "The Founding Fathers" were economic. They wanted their wallets to be safe, plain and simple. And you know what, that idea still makes sense. My money should be my money, my debt should be my debt. With the election last night, America elected individuals including the president elect who do not believe this. They believe more of your money belongs to them. THE EXACT SAME THING KING GEORGE BELIEVED!! We slapped our founding fathers in the face! Freedom needs to begin with your wallet, plain and simple. Since the dawn of time every form of fascism starts by the government taking more and more of the individuals fiscal resources.

Again we forgot our own history. I had someone tell me over the weekend this was the worst 8 years in American history under GW. Folks, get prepared for worse. Don't even get me started on how many US citizens will die when we publish our time table for exit in Iraq. A country we were trying to instill freedom into. Also, every American who died in Iraq died for absolutely nothing, if we are to believe the president elect and his promise to withdraw troops.

And don't for one minute believe this is about race. This is about ideology plain and simple. As most of you know, I am trying to change careers to build a better life for my family, but now if the Democrats accomplish their supposed agenda, I'm wondering why I didn't stay at my job making $12 an hour and spending $10 a day to do that. Mark my words, the magic number for Barrack and the Democrats in Congress isn't $250,000, it isn't $200,00, it isn't $150,000, it is $100,000 or possibly even $75,000. And what will your tax rate be? I'm guessing about 35%, and capital gains, our president elect has openly said those need to be raised to 39%. So for my family personally I will go back to work and be marginally better off. Not to the point I can significantly contribute anything to the economy. Not only that individuals who are actually contributing significantly to the economy won't be getting dividends(because corporations won't pay them out with high capital gains) and they certainly won't sell stocks for a gain(why when you'll lose .40 on a $1).

Welcome to Change We Need, not change we have in our pockets. Hello, FDR your Socialist/Marxist baby is now a toddler. Hello, Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton, I need to spit in your face some more.
