New DNC Platform – “Help Yourself”

The DNC announced today that their focus at this year’s convention will be on “unity” (code for national collectivism), “security” (code for global collectivism) and “change” (code for that’s all you’ll have left by the time we’re done with you.) It seems that liberals have misinterpreted the old quote “God helps those who help themselves.” They must think it means “God helps those who help themselves to the fruits of another’s labor.”

Barack Obama has promised American families $1000 which he will take from oil companies’ profits, despite the fact that they already pay $3.00 in taxes for every $1.00 of profit earned. And don’t forget about his health care proposals, which sound fantastic until you start thinking about how we will pay for them or what these proposals will entail. He’s even called for the “winners” to keep their allegience to the “less fortunate”. I still haven’t heard him explain who exactly the “winners and less fortunate” are. Maybe he’ll clear that up for us at the convention.

He has also promised to put an end to George Bush’s tax cuts for the rich. The left would like you to believe that tax cuts take money from poor people and give it to rich people, which couldn’t be farther from the truth. A tax is money taken from a portion of an individual or a company’s earnings or profits. Cutting taxes is simply taking a smaller percentage of the taxpayer’s earnings or profits. How is giving a tax cut to anyone taking money from anyone else (other than the government, who really needs to learn how to balance a budget)?

The problem the Democrats have with tax cuts is that it means (in their minds) less money with which to buy votes.
