Ju Roku – Who I Voted For

I voted for McCain. Why? Because Obama’s plan to “redistribute wealth” is ridiculous. Yeah, that’s a good idea lets punish the rich, the people who worked for their position and have the highest ability to create jobs. I’ve heard people say well they are taxed less than the middle class. That my friends is bull. Let me show you the 2008 tax rates directly from the IRS website.

They are already taxed more. Why do we need to take more of their EARNED money. I say again EARNED money.Yes, there are poor people, but these people CAN WORK TO EARN more money. If an illegal immigrant can get a job here, a homeless person CAN as well. Yes, the economy is in a down turn, and SOME middle class people are spending less (my family is not one of them), but many of these people losing their homes or losing money because they have made bad decisions and are reaping what they sew. It may be sad, but it’s called responsibility. Along with all this, an increase in taxes for the wealthy would make it harder for people like me who are trying to become wealthy to actually get there. AWESOME! Also, I’ve heard that we SHOULD be taxed more as a solution to the downed economy. How does that make any sense at all. Yeah, lets take more money from people who are supposedly spending less. Anyway by this time, all of this is a moot point because the American people have chosen. Most people chose for “hope” or “change” whatever the hell those words mean for a presidency, so we will see if the man of “change” will be able to do anything he has claimed he is going to do. (Lord I hope not) Thankfully, it looks as though he’s realizing he can’t be so leftist to succeed. He’s gotta move a little to the right. Bleh ignorance. Well in any case we all have to live with this, so lets get to living, and working hard cuz that’s what this country encourages and SHOULD reward. Bleh politics makes my brain want to melt through my various facial orifices.
