What an Obama victory might bring

This Letter to the Editor originally published in The Delaware County Daily & Sunday Times does a succinct job of describing the United States under a Barack Obama regime.

What a Democratic victory will bring U.S.

To the Times:

So let's make sure we understand, as a society, our position if there is an overall Democratic victory in November's election.

1. No new energy exploitation/development --- at least in the areas of oil, coal or nuclear energy. Higher energy prices, correct?

2. A rise in corporate, income and Social Security taxes --- a great move if the economy is in a recession.

3. Continued, virtually uncontrolled immigration, especially of the illegal variety. This is obviously not a great way to raise the wages of the American workers but a great new source of new, eventually dependent Democratic voters.

4. The likelihood of withdrawal of federal funds to hospitals or medical institutions that refuse to provide abortion services --- seems like a great way to shut down Catholic and other religious hospitals that often serve less affluent constituencies.

Just a few items for thought.
