The Obama march to socialism

I like this Letter to the Editor originally published in The Mercury from a Chester County resident who says the choice for president is simple. If you want to march this country toward socialism, Obama is the one. If you think the government should allow you to keep more of your money, vote for John McCain.

Obama is the 'one' if you want to turn U.S. toward socialism

Obama is "The One." He's the one who launched his political career from the living room of American terrorist, William Ayers.

He's the one who then lied about his association with Ayers and ACORN.

He's the one who said he'd vote against the surge again even though it worked.

And he's the one whose campaign jet dropped the American flag from its tail during a refurbishment, and the truth of this claim has been verified by Snopes.com.

He's the one who wants to raise capital gains (and many other taxes) because he doesn't understand economics. In 1981, 1997 and 2003 capital gains were cut and revenues rose by 49 percent, 49 percent and 88 percent respectively. When capital gains were raised in 1986, revenues fell by 44 percent and the source of this information is Americans for Prosperity as illustrated in "Fleeced" by Dick Morris, a longtime political consultant to President Clinton. Obama's the one all right.

He's the one who wants to double capital gains, double taxes on dividends and take money away from hardworking Americans like Joe-the-plumber and "spread the wealth around."

Obama is the one who's a socialist. McCain's an American hero, and the American flag adorns McCain's campaign plane.
