I find it very disturbing that people are not putting the phrase “share the wealth” into perspective. I don’t want to “share the wealth” I worked hard, against all odds, to obtain what I have why should I “share” it with anybody? I already pay enough in taxes every month to support two families in need of help through DSHS… what more do I owe? I have sent this same message to both presidential candidates… hope to get a response. I had my first child at 15, I had three by the time I was 21. I quit school in 8th grade, only completing the 7th grade. I recieved $25.00 a month in child support for many years. I worked up to 3 jobs at a time and went to school full time. I could not afford Harvard (I did not have friends in high places and my food stamps would not cover the tuition), but what I did was sufficiant. while I only make upwards of $88,000 a year now, I plan on making well over Obama’s $250,000.00 limit and after all the sacrifices I have made in mine and my childrens lives Obama wants me to share the wealth? What is it people do not see? Do they not see that he is opening the door for socialism? Sure he is a good speaker, but his message is obsured, do people not see it? I am floored. Charisma is a dangerous thing, and that is all he has is charisma. People need to read his book, they need to read his wife’s thesis. They need to understand you do not go to a racist church for over 20 years and get to say that you did not understand the messages of hate! You may attack Joe the Plumber, but you cannot attack me…. Joe and I both want the same thing, a free country where hard work prevails, not government control, socialism and handouts to those less inclined to work hard.

It was sickening to watch Obama constantly laughing-off serious questions that McCain raised. Does Obama really understand how serious this job is, and just how dangerous this world has become? He just doesn’t seem to get it.

I don’t think it counts as throwing money at a problem, until the “problem” fully funded.

The whole world will be googling Joe the Plumber tomorrow. I wonder if that will put his net worth so high, he gets a McCain tax cut for large corporations. Whee…
