Boy, change has come alright. When I was little my parents taught me to be careful of the friends you keep. You become like the people you hang around.

For the first time in the U.S. I believe we have a President who doesn’t care about having people of integrity to hold the important government positions in which he is nominating people for. The democrats don’t seem to care about higher taxes because as we have seen, by Obama’s nominations, they don’t pay their taxes anyway. Yes, let’s appoint criminals to these positions. People that steal. Our founders I believe are turning over in their graves. The judgement of Obama, let me reword this, the lack of judgement of Obama is so apparent but what is so scary is the sleepers we have in America. The dumbing down of Americans is live and well.

Of course regular Americans will be taxed more! Many of the wealthy will figure out how to move their money offshore to protect it. This means they will end up paying less taxes than they are right now. The government will have to find a way to make up the deficit. That means more honest, hard-working Americans will have to pick up the slack.

The government is already trying to find ways to “raise” money elsewhere. The Obama administration has declared that they want Veterans hospitals to start charging private insurance companies for services provided to our veterans. Many of these service members won’t be able to get an insurance company to write them a policy due to the pre-existing injuries and illnesses. Maybe Congressmembers could give up some of their benefits to help out.

Of course, it seems that if you are favored by the current administration, you can be wealthy and not plan on paying taxes (until you get caught)!

Obama ran on a platform of change. He claimed the change would be of both policy and in method. We are getting the change in policy, with some decidedly left-leaning approaches to handling the economy. I believe these changes will hurt the American economy in the long run.
We are not getting the change promised in how business gets done. That is to say, Obama claimed a bunch of ethical reforms would take place and there would be more transparency. Those changes would be good, but surprise!- those promises are empty campaign-fueled rhetoric.
