I have come and gone in this political forum and pretty much said my peace. But i want to say one last thing. And i debated saying this but i just think it is that important.....
I was sitting in my office setting up some bills to be paid and i wrote out my annual check for the toy drive for Kevin. Really made me smile writing that check. I had a fortunate year in business and was able to kick down a little more this year. I thought how great to have the choice to give something back to people as i would never be where i am today without help from others like my parents putting me through college, my dad helping me start the business i now have. And how great it felt to be able to kick down more this year than last year, especiall in tough times. I know it's not the size of the contribution it's the thought, but in reality the more you can give the more you can help.
But then i had a really bad thought and i really hope you take this to heart because it's the truth. I thought what about Obama and his redistribution of wealth. I am going to take a big hit under Obama as will EVERYONE and that is what you need to understand. I have a choice where i donate my money to and who gets my charity. I think it's important in life to help others who want to help themselves. But Obama is going to take my money and give it to people who want to get fat on the government. And folks, if you've never started a business or owned your own company....lived off savings when times were tough early on......every customer who may not pay you comes out of your pocket...if you've never lived that then you will never understand what a business owner goes through.
And the point in this is that I have EARNED the right to be successful and through hard work. I have EARNED the right to lease the car i just leased. I put in the EFFORT to get where i am today. Under Obama and his socialist redistribution of wealth plan, he will take from me and others and give to those who don't deserve it. So guess what.....next Xmas that check for the toy drive may not be so big......that bonus may not be coming to an employee........those health benefits may go bye bye....because all the money i have for that has been taken to give to those who don't deserve it.
Folks, this isn't about the rich vs. the poor....it's about all of us in the middle. It's about plumbers, teachers, small business owners etc.....banding together to fight off monies to those who sit on front stooops of liquor stores in Oakland "kicking" it all day on the government's (ultimately my) dime....it's about 21 year old chenqua and her 9 kids who is "a victim of society" and living on the government.........you just can't have socialism....and as a person, business owner etc... i only have so much money to give and if the government takes it....guess what, the rest is mine. And i have EARNED that right.
Please don't elect a socialist leader who thinks success is evil. In the end, we're all going to pay for it in ways you've never thought of. I honestly hope that next Xmas i can write another nice check for the toy drive....pay huge commissions to people who sell for me etc.....but that is all up to how america votes.
And if you don't think a tax increase is coming across the board, you don't understand finance. Because there is no way you can do what Obama wants to do and not have one. He is all talk and it's really scary to think of the future.
