I know. I know. We elected George W. Bush twice. I'm also very aware that this wasn't a very good option. But given the options it was the best we could do. Did you really want an eco-lunatic or flip flopping Northeast liberal in the White House? Sure Bush is wrong on a lot of things, but atleast he's consistently wrong (trust me I'm going to lay into this piece of garbage in another blogging). But I praying to my Sweet Jesus that the American people can somehow shake themselves loose from their American Idol/Survivor/24/InsertLameAssRealityShowHere haze and see through this woman facade. She is a Socialist bordering on total Communist! Remember the only thing that separates a Socialist and Communist is a gun barrel.

I want to run down some of Hillary's core ideas in her campaign. They are the usual, time tested Democrat tactics that rely on the ignorance of the American voter. They make bogeymen out of "corporations", "Christians", "conservatives", "big oil" and the list goes on. Clinton falls right in line with the other unoriginal bastards on the left. They've yet to come up with an original idea that doesn't involve more government programs or interference since Big Red Jefferson (that was when the Liberals in America were actually on the right side of most issues, really they are nothing like today's Liberals, nevermind).

She wants to tax corporations and "big oil" when they turn too much profit. Now to the misguided, dimwitted, mentally warped Liberal these sound like great ideas! Go after the big evil corporations that crush the little guy. Make them pay more in taxes and that'll force them to lower prices.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong....oh how wrong you are! Corporations don't pay taxes. No the consumer pays the taxes. Think about it. If you owned a company and the government came to you and said we are increasing your tax rate from 60% to 70%, what would you do? Lower your prices and make even less profit after the tax hike? No you would raise the prices of goods and services to cover that extra 10% that is stolen from an entity that produces nothing of worth. Its very, very simple if you take a minute to think about it.

Raising taxes on corporations is just like raising taxes on the individual. If you want one reason why so many companies choose to leave the U.S. or even this area you might want to look at the tax rate for starters. Here is an example that I am personally aware of regarding this issue. The office I work in now did not exist a year ago. It was located in Pittsburgh, PA. The good people of Dominion Gas Co were being taxed to such a great extent by the city and state that they took the path of least resistance/most profit and moved the office. Where did they move the office? To Perry Township. Just outside of Canton, OH. In fact just over the city limits because they didn't want to pay into the city income tax in Canton. Why is business booming in the South? Southern states have much lower taxes than Northeast/Midwest states. You can take this example and expand it to a national level as well. The U.S. has some of the highest corporate taxes in the world. Only Japan has higher tax rates in this area. This taxing stifles growth and opportunity because it is money that is being paid into an bloated and ineffectual government. Money that could be used to pay workers a better wage here in the U.S., or used for research/development into new technology.

And who is Hillary Clinton to decide how much profit is too much profit? I agree that corporate collusion is evil and should be prosecuted. This is what I believe is going on with the oil industry today. But the government has no right to tell a company that they've made "too much" money this year and they will now be penalized for it. Who sets the bar for "too much"? Does this bar move up or down? And what causes it to move? I'm interested to hear her explanation.

When you hear "shared responsibility" coming out of Clinton's mouth think Socialism. This seems to be her newest catch phrase that she hopes will entice her idiot base to vote for her. "Shared responsibility" means higher taxes for those of us who are productive, hard working, and provide goods or sevices that others desire. It means lowering standards and dragging others down to a common level. Making it harder for those who want to work to succeed is no way to go about growing an economy. I believe in the old saying that if you give a man a fish you feed him for a day, if you teach a man to fish you feed him for life. A hand up is far more beneficial than a hand out.
