THE DUMBEST MAN ALIVE

As many of you know I dislike all Democrats and most Republicans. Both parties take turns trying to control our lives. However much I dislike these people John Edwards takes my hatred to new heights. This man, if elected would be more of a threat to our freedom than Osama Bin Laden. He would destroy Capitalism and punish success, like no one in this countries history.

In a recent speech John Edwards has outlined the following plan. He would create the " get ahead program", which is nothing more than more welfare. First, I love the catchy title, who could be against the "get ahead program" "PEOPLE WHO WANT THE POOR TO BE STAY BEHIND, LIKE GEORGE BUSH, EXXON AND HALIBURTON!!!" (I hear libs yelling now). Really they disguise their big welfare programs behind these names because Americans might not buy the title "more money for deadbeats initiative".

This program would give the poor and extra $500/yr for saving the same amount. Wow talk about an amazing rate of return. Add this to the many other handouts like unviveral health care and increased welfare.

And how will he pay for this you ask? Of course by raising taxes on the rich. He wants to increase the rate of capital gains tax to 28% to ensure that high-income investors will pay taxes on their investment income, as well as repeal the Bush tax cuts for the families who make more than $200,000 a year. All this and I quote "to restore fairness to a tax code that has been driven badly out of whack by the wrongheaded rules of the Washington establishment – more wealth for the wealthy and more power for the powerful."

Lets see the poor already pay almost zero federal tax, they use $8 in government services for every $1 they pay. The rich pay the lion share of the taxes and use nearly no services. If you want to restore fairness shouldn't we raise taxes on the poor and their cut programs?

This metro sexual has many great slogans, but seems to ignore the facts. My favorite might be "It's time to end the president's war on work" So you work hard to get ahead and make a lot of money, and if someone wants to keep this money well there is now a war on work? Should we really be taking the definition of the term work from a man who made his money suing people who did work? People like John Edwards are the most dangerous because he will get millions of followers who buy into this crap. My only saving grace is that the two other socialists are ahead in the polls. I will complain about them later.
