The recent economic downturn has given liberal socialists an opportunity to brandish afresh their torches and pitchforks. Their passion is so great that many "conservatives" are being caught up in their frenzy. Witness the overwhelming passage of the Senate's bill to use my money to buy high risk assets from lenders who've already been all but sunk for holding them. The neat thing about this witch hunt is that the hunters actually discipled the witches, ratcheting down requirements of the Community Reinvestment Act and establishing quotas for the ensuing debauchery.
Witch hunters now proclaim that making money in America is evil. Indeed this is their battle cry. One only need watch a bit of the Senate Oversight Committees' interrogation of Lehman Brothers CEO, Richard Fuld. The back and forth can be summed this way, "Why did you make so much money?"
Turning to the witch hunters' messiah: a keynote of the Obama campaign is great social good through increased taxes on businesses and corporations [you know those entities that float around in the clouds]. It baffles me that Obama supporters somehow are oblivious to the economic impact of such an asinine plan.
Raise your hand if you work for a business! If taxes on that business increase, where will the money come from to pay those taxes? How about higher prices on goods sold by those businesses? That's also known as inflation. Yeah, that big, bad thing you're struggling with at the pump and check-out line right now. Oh yeah, here's the other option: decrease the cost of doing business by cutting salaries. That's called unemployment.
So what Obama proposes is higher taxes, higher inflation and higher unemployment. To help you cope with the higher cost of living that will result from his plan, and the job you don't have to pay for it, Obama and the Third Reich [read: Congress] will give you a monthly government stipend--which they will tax. If you invest, they will tax you. If you DIE, they will tax you. As a "patriot," or shall we say, loyal follower of the Fuhrer, you will graciously, no gratefully, comply. All this because wealth is evil!
We would rather have a nation of cow-towing servants with zero motivation to work, innovate, invest, create jobs or do anything else that will ultimately improve the social well being.
If you want to make money in this country and support the Obama-Biden ticket, you prepare your own stake. Save us taxpayers some money and buy your own matches!

But at least you're not bitter.

Brian,
While I agree with much of what you say, I think that calling Obama and Congress the Third Reich is going too far. I do not think that any economic policy adopted by any liberal/conservative will lead to the mass genocide practiced by Hitler's regime.
Are you not doing the same thing you are accusing liberals of? Isn't calling Obama and the Senate the Third Reich the same as witch hunting?

Funny Jeff...I thought Obama was Pro Choice.
