You say potato, I say cucumber.
So I’m watching the V.P. debate between Joe Biden and Sarah Palin. I just have one beef with the first part about taxes and the rest of the debate I’m sort of lost on.
Biden defines “fairness” as increasing taxes for those earning $250k or more and giving tax breaks to the middle class. So the more money you earn, the higher rate you’re taxed at. How is that fair? Sounds to me like a penalty for being successful. He said that the “super wealthy” don’t deserve tax breaks. Really? Do you know these people personally? I’m certainly not one of those people, but I don’t really care for that logic. You say fairness, I say unfair redistribution of wealth.
I do like what Palin says about personal responsibility and living within your means, but it really creeps me out every time she looks directly at the camera.
I hate presidential elections. I don’t want to vote for either candidate. It’s a matter of picking who you like the least and then voting for the other one. Crappy.

Palin’s winking is killing me. It’s hard to tell if she’s serious about what she’s saying. Or maybe she’s just trying to flirt with the American public. AND she just gave a “shout out,” I think I’m going to suffer an aneurysm.
That having been said, I can’t wrap my mind around voting either of them into office.

Democrats are basically the ‘Robin Hood’ party, whose basic platform is to rob from the rich, and give to the poor. Sounds good on paper, but doesn’t do much for an economy. Republicans are more interested in creating jobs, and letting people earn their own money, which unfortunately leaves two problems: it gives benefit to those that own the company, and leaves those who don’t want a job under any circumstances.
I wonder what kind of presidency Bush would have had, if it weren’t for 911 and the Iraq war, which has dominated everything. Hmmm.

Flirting with the American Public. That’s hilarious.
