My thoughts on Obama

Posted on February 29th, 2008 in General by tavaresforby ||

Education: Obama is against school vouchers. Therefore, children are forced to go to the public schools that are in their districts. Now don’t get me wrong, some public schools are good, but some are bad. Extremely bad. Now what about the children who are forced to go to those schools that is extremely bad. With vouchers, those kids can use the money that was paid to the bad public school to a good private school.

Immigration: He will not support any bills that do not provide a path of citizenship to undocumented people. The law is the law and by all means and it should not be broken for anyone. Also, it is a complete fallacy that the illegal immigrants here in the US is contributing more then what we spend on them on social programs. Therfore, a lot of our tax dollars are wasted on people who are not legally suppose to be here. Also, it is not fair for all the legal immigrants who work with the system to get here legally.

Abortion: He supports Roe vs. Wade and received 100 rating to “Planned Parenthood”, the slaughter house for unborn infants. All abortion does is support last minute birth control.

Gun Control: He supported banning all forms of semi-automatic firearms. So, I guess the only people who allowed having firearms is the law enforcements and criminals? And many times, law enforcements are criminals. Oh, and the law enforcements are not dependable. So, if someone breaks into my home to try to rob me, I guess I should say, “Hey Mr. Robbery Guy, can you wait until the police come before you continue? Hold up, let me call them now”

Bush Tax Cut: He supports reversing the Bush tax cut for those who make over $250K a year. Now this is completely NOT fair. Most household whose income is above $84K a year pays 82.5 percent of the total federal income taxes where as the lower income families pays 1.1 percent. Please look at the link below and note the quote:

“The two most startling figures are at the high and low ends of the scale. Although the richest taxpayers make 16.1% of the money, they pay 33.7% of the taxes, while those in the bottom 50% make 14.2% of the money but only pay 3.5% of the taxes.”

So if anything, the Bush tax cut should be reversed on the lower 50 percent of tax payers. The rich is paying ENOUGH taxes, don’t you think?
