Honeymoon? Stimulus? Stealing our 401K’s?

What is a honeymoon for a president? The world doesn’t stop, terrorists don’t stop their plans to kill us, the economy continues to tank, and Obama has been campaigning for two years to get this job. His policies will be criticized, analyzed, and praised from the second he proposes them. If the policies are bad we will rebel, if they are good we will support them; period. We can’t afford to allow him any slack to move us to the left.

The only stimulus that will work is the reduction or elimination of the capital gains tax for the next four years. Reduced taxes and a return to sound lending practices is the only path to a renewed housing market. It is a simple concept; less government intrusion, greater economic gains. More government will drive us into a depression.

There is a democratic leftist proposal to take our 401K savings and put them into government run accounts. Can you say Social Security is going bankrupt under government control? If there is any move to do this my money goes off shore. I will bet I am not alone. I will take the penalties associated with liquidation because that will be nothing compared to what they will do with the principal I have been saving for my entire adult life. This proposal should be crushed; now!

Obama has a scary past for those of us that believe in individual liberty and free market capitalism. We must protect what has made us great and organize against any efforts to undermine our core values as Americans. A lot of people got involved in this election that have little understanding of politics. It will be our job to educate them on the policies and values that will bring prosperity to this country.

Expecting a free ride, giving away our tax money to people that did nothing to deserve it, or taking our hard earned retirement savings will only destroy the future of this country. It is not easy to stay optimistic but when I am down I say two words to lift my spirits; Ronald Reagan…
