Intro

I have no idea how many people will ever read this blog, but I feel conservatives need some sort of blog space. Notice said conservatives not Republican (capital R). We need to get back to conservative values, and become a republic again. Our representative democracy is coming apart at the ends, and now we have uneducated voter deciding the future of America. These people are too lazy to vote on issues all the time, a feature of having a true republic, so the smart informed Americans can run this country.

I know who am I or we to decide who is smart enough to vote. Well, it is harsh but most people are not smart enough. They have no idea what they are voting on and how it will effect the nation. People want "change" but cannot define change. What is going to change? Wealth, freedom, liberty? No one can define this because it has not been defined.

The definition of socialism is "Any of various theories or systems of social organization in which the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy. (American Heritage Dictionary)" Now let us look at what our president-elect is going to do with our taxes, specifically people making over $250,000 (gross) "Families making more than $250,000 will pay either the same or lower tax rates than they paid in the 1990s. Obama will ask the wealthiest 2% of families to give back a portion of the tax cuts they have received over the past eight years to ensure we are restoring fairness and returning to fiscal responsibility. But no family will pay higher tax rates than they would have paid in the 1990s. In fact, dividend rates would be 39 percent lower than what President Bush proposed in his 2001 tax cut (www.barackobama.com)." So, its OK for citizens who make over $250,000 a year to go back to the outrageous 1990s level tax rates, however, people who have been receiving government benefits since 1990 will see no cut in their benefits. And by the way, if you are a small business owner, you may want to check if you actually make $250,000 before saying you don't, and you support the Obama plan because it will benefit you. the truth of the matter is it benefits the poor.

Our president-elect does not like our current class system. Through an evolution of economics a class called the "upper middle" class has been created. These people are part of the top 4% of money making Americans, who keep this economy going through spending much of the free income they earn. The party in power (or soon to take) hates the upper middle class. They are not part of it (they are the upper class), they tax it to try and destroy it, and they want to give it's wealth to the poor and middle class. Why should the hardest working Americans give back their wealth. Answer, they should not

As we go throughout this journey for 4 years, we will explore this more, understand the classes, and I hope you will realize most Americans aspire to be in the upper middle class and it may soon be a goal no one can obtain.
