Sarah Palin "Now is not the time to experiment with socialism"

At a previous rally, Sarah Palin implied that Obama's policies were the same thing as Socialism.

Today in Colorado, Palin adresses her previous comment and says:

"Joe the plummer has been able to accmomplish is something that none of the rest of us have been able to accomplish. He got our opponent to state plainly his intentions of what he is going to do with tax increases. So if you ask me that makes Joe the winner of last weeks presidential debate. As a result of that conversation, Obama says he wants to "spread the wealth," what that means is government taking more of your money and giving it out however a politicians would seem fit... So Obama calls it spreading the wealth, Biden calls it patriotic, but Joe the Plummer said it sounded to him like socialism. And now is not the time to expierment with socialism."

She argues that Obama plans punish hardwork, and discourage productivity, and will stop the entrepaneur spirit that has made this country what it is. This plan, she argues, gives more power to the government which she insists is the problem in the first place.

Now I ask, why would we want to follow Obama's economic plans that kill the spirit of what it means to be an American, the notion of equal opportunity? Why would I want to give the money I make to the government so that they can decide what to do with it? John McCain and Sarah Palin argue against big government, they believe that this is not the solution but the problem. They think that the solution to such a problem is not taking control of your money rather they believe that the solution is less government and giving Americans the right to have control over their own profits, which in turn will secure opportunitys for every American to prosper and will help create new wealth. This idea allows citizens to be free from the chains of government and gives inspiration to individuals to want to succeed. Instead of having the government to rely on, should we not as Americans rely on the support from each other?

I know that if I work hard, and somehow manage to make $250,000 or more, I would not want the government telling me how I should spend it, who I should give it to. Taking this money away from me would make me less inclined to put money into the small buisnesses that these "tax cuts" that Obama is proposing for the middle class are meant to save. Without the circulation that is provided by the top 5% of Americans, our country is now completley dependent on money from the government. Is that how you want to live? Bush's tax cuts which McCain supports not only decreases tax's for the wealthy, but they decrease taxes for the middle and lower class as well. Obama's tax cuts simply decrease taxes for anyone making less than $250,000 a year, raising taxes on everyone else. As an American, you are given the opportunity to make $250,000 a year, and as an American you should not be penalized for taking advantage of opportunities provided to you by our country.
