What I find truly frightening about the Democratic Agenda is their whole-hearted embrace of agendas that take money away from those who earned it so that they can redistribute those dollars as vote buying largess to their base.
I’m not a libertarian – I like: Roads, Schools, Research facilities, defense, parks, military to a lesser extent then we have now, hospitals, etc. I don’t like government programs that take money from one group and GIVE it to another – like: Social Security (Especially the disability portion), Medicare, Medicaid, Unemployment for more then a quarter, etc.
I’m also Sick of the Regulations – I work for a large multi-national corporation and we will be subjected to enormous costs under the frank-dodd act because of the conflict mineral clause. This is the part where businesses are expected to figure out whether or not their component chemicals (Tungsten, Tantalum, Tin and Gold) come from areas of Africa where the people may have been exploited. This doesn’t improve the lives of Americans 1 whit but it will cost billions of dollars from domestic corporations that have to comply. Since their foreign competition don’t have these same requirements, we will be placed at a competitive cost advantage.
But Obama never had to work in business so he doesn’t understand how global competition works. One more reason we need to get rid of this bozo and find someone who understands the struggles we (the employed and invested) are facing.
