Neither Obama nor McCain

"Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders." ~ Hermann Goering, President of the Reichstag, Nazi Party, and Luftwaffe Commander in Chief

Under Barack Obama, how much more taxes will an individual pay who makes more than $150,000? I don't know, but you will pay more.

Your Medicare "premiums" have increased 140% in the past five years if your AGI was high. Why do the press reports say Medicare premiums are only $96 per month? If it's a "Premium", why do some pay more than others based on income only? That means it is a tax! If you earn more than 200k in 2009 your monthly Medicare "TAX" will be $394! Want to opt out, you have to give up all of your Social Security.

I expect Obama will raise the "premium" you pay for Medicare even more. http://seniorjournal.com/NEWS/Medicare/6-09-11-MedicarePremiumsExpected.htm

It does not matter if Obama wins, or if McCain wins. Big business will try to protect their positions by restricting competition. Big business will promote covert Fascism. They talk about the advantages of competition, but they want to reduce it to protect themselves.

Labor will do as business and try to protect their positions by restricting competition. To do this, labor will promote covert communism. They will salute the flag and sing God bless America, while trying to reduce competition.

Neither side will promote competition, nor will either side reward production. The country will continue on the path to a lower standard of living with a currency that declines in value.

Yves Guyot wrote in Socialistic Fallacies, 1910, of numerous failures of socialism.http://oll.libertyfund.org/index.php?option=com_staticxt&staticfile=show.php%3Ftitle=1166&layout=html

Despite the history of failures of central planners, and no matter how much we read the history of these failures, each new human is born with the genes of his ancestors, the genes that make them slaves to their emotions. It is rare for a new human to grow up and become a slave to reason.

Neither Obama nor McCain is a Messiah. That does not stop the adulation and ranting. It seems the congregation thinks the louder they cheer the greater the chances their dreams will come true.
