Why Obama's "Sharing the Wealth" talk should immediately make you choose McCain

Sharing the wealth. Code word for Marxist policies. Policies that seek to "share the wealth" are failed, industrial aged policies. Some might ask, "What is wrong with sharing the wealth? The rich have too much money anyway." That may be, but consider the consequences...like an adult. America is built on free trade, free thought and the promise of being in charge of your own future. If the government were to start imposing Marxist ideals into a free trade market, you will see a stagnation in production, ideas and profits.

Then there is the pure indignity of the Marxist system. I was raised to do things for myself. Yeah it's hard, but I would sooner work to death than rely on another to take care of me. Not only that, but the satisfaction of success is beyond anything else. When I accomplish something, I do it on my own. When I am involved in the accomplishment of something, then I expect a part of the success. But when I have nothing to do with success and demand a part of it because someone else has so much of it, then that is dishonorable.

For people who know me, I have used this story as an example a lot. For those of you who don't, I think you can understand the simple analogy of a childhood memory.

When I was 10, there was this show called the Mighty Morphing Power Rangers. A show pretty much made for marketing toys. Regardless, I was 10 and didn't care. The toy I wanted was called the "Megazord" and it was very expensive. $80 to be exact. My family did not have a lot of money like the other kids. My allowance was about $10 a month which I had to do chores like mowing the lawn, doing dishes and taking out the trash on occasion.

My financial strife fueled my desire to make more money and get that toy. So I sought out more work to make more money. I got a paper route, did chores for my grandparents (they paid better than my parents) and within a few months, I had enough money to buy the Megazord. Well, we got to the toy store and I went to the counter to buy it. Then came a sudden shock. Tax. I was short because I needed the extra $5 to pay for the sales tax. My brother was with me, and in my desperation accepted his $5 (part of his allowance). It was only later that I would learn that my parents would now be convinced that we BOTH bought the toy and therefore HALF of it belonged to him. So I did all the work, paid about 95% of the cost and now only half of it belonged to me.

All in all, it was a stupid toy, but the point should be clear. There should not be some overseeing power that can forcefully take your profits and give it to someone who has not worked for it. Had I known that was going to happen I would have simply waited to get the extra money myself, or possibly, not try to get it at all. It is the later that I fear coming into play in our economy. People no longer reaching for the stars because the Government will simply take away what THEY decide s/he does not "need". Those who are already rich will seek to spend and make their money elsewhere (in a different, more friendly country) and the people will reap the results of socialism. The spreading of POVERTY. This is what Obama wants. This is why he MUST lose.
