		<description>Here&#039;s a comparison:



Who am I?

* I am running for President
* I rose in political power by using legal loopholes to stop other candidates running against me
* I am the leader of a party heading into a depression
* I am especially famed for my oratory skills
* I blame the previous administration for our economic woes to create support from those who are financially hurting
* I lead a party promoting socialism, to change the the existing government, to fix the countries economic woes, and to restore the greatness of my country on the world stage
* My country has had a very expensive, protracted war

I am Hitler! (or am I Obama?)</description>

		<description>Yes, this point needs to be a leading banner quote to let newly attentive voters realize Obama&#039;s view of America before the go and potentially vote for him to be president.

It is a bit depressing to see how little attention this is getting.  The MSM don&#039;t want to touch it and doing a Google search this afternoon found very little mention of it.

As well, this recorded conversation has been right out in plain sight.  I&#039;m sure that are more like it on various topics.  It is obvious that the MSM are no longer practicing traditional journalism but surely there are others---like even the National Enquirer---that still take journalism seriously.  (Never thought that I&#039;d put it that way with National Enquirer as the example but there it is.)</description>

		<description>I agree and I was &lt;b&gt;not&lt;/b&gt; suggesting otherwise.  But I do think it is worth noting that these two are not and that for some folks this might be refreshing.</description>

		<description>Yes, more than 11,000,000 people were victims of the Nazis.  My cross-post on my blog, http://www.theindependentview.com, reflects this more inclusive count.</description>

		<description>As horrible as the murder of 6,000,000 Jews -- by ONLY reporting the murder of the Jews and ignoring the other ethnic groups murdered by Hitler and his followers seems to minimize the other murders by Gang Hitler.

  Hitler seemed to be searching for a group that he could use to focus hatred of his followers. Perhaps he realized that he was bringing out the worst (evil) in his followers and that this evil had to be concentrated on one target. Hitler at first went after political groups -- Communist, Socialists etc. He focused on the &quot;dirty&quot; Gypsy -- because this was an easy target. 

   We need to remember that Hitler killed far more than 6 million human beings -- he killed the imperfect humans -- which also included one of his relatives -- because imperfect humans couldn&#039;t be real Germans. 

&lt;i&gt;&quot; Most prisoners in the early concentration camps were German Communists, Socialists, Social Democrats, Roma (Gypsies), Jehovah&#039;s Witnesses, homosexuals, and persons accused of &quot;asocial&quot; or socially deviant behavior. These facilities were called “concentration camps” because those imprisoned there were physically “concentrated” in one location.

		<description>I have a burning question no one seems to be talking about.  Obama obviously does not like the Constitution.  If elected, how would he take the oath of office to &quot;preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States?&quot;  Except by lying.  Under oath.</description>

		<description>Before I left last week, Jason, one Obamatron told me quite haughtily that we [Americans] are to forget the past, that speaking about the greatness of this Nation, the sacrifices that our men and women have made here and around the world is completely irrelevant.  In fact, any words of patriotism or loyalty were in Obamatron-speak: &quot;empty and hollow&quot;.  Furthermore, he said, we needed to gaze only to the future and our proper place in the global community because we are in the death throes, a decrepit

History is our teacher, not our enemy as you, Jason, have quite eloquently detailed.  And there have been many leaders and movements that have declared history dead, irrelevant.  Some have even rewritten history to their own liking.

None of them have ended well.  And I hope to God this movement will be shut down before it starts.   

We need to vote as if our lives depended on it.  Because they do. I voted for McCain on the first day of early voting.  He was the only legitimate candidate on the ballot.  

Vote, vote.  Take your friends, take your family and neighbors. Ignore the polls. Vote!</description>

		<description>Obama is an example of &#039;moral relativism&#039; run wild. He makes his point about segregation in the US by comparing the US to Nazi Germany.

Instead of condemning the conditions that existed and were about to be overturned by SCOTUS on their merits, he conflates those conditions to Nazi Germany.

Compare the US South in the aftermath of the repudiation of &#039;separate but equal&#039; to Germany in the aftermath of the defeat of the Nazis and you will see my point.

In the south there were ugly protests and even some murders (Emmit Till). The US Army did go to some areas of the South to protect school children from the protesters and demogogues like George Wallace did arise. But eventually it passed and the South moved forward - the second Civil War did NOT break out. The repudiation of Nazi Germany meant the complete and utter destruction of Germany - only with its total destruction could the new Germany move forward. Huge difference, that Sen. Obama doesn&#039;t seem to comprehend.

This man is very ambivalent about this country.</description>

Some voters angry about reduced wealth don&#039;t realize voting for Obama will make them less wealthy; investors flee Obama

Investors Flee From &#039;Change&#039; Obama Hypes

By JACK KEMP AND PETER FERRARA &#124; Investors Business Daily

Are Barack Obama&#039;s proposed tax increases adversely affecting our financial markets? We say yes, unambiguously. The senator has done a masterful job distracting attention from his tax increases with his $500-per-worker tax credit supposedly for 95% of Americans.

Obama has also set forth more than half a dozen additional refundable income tax credits targeted to low- and moderate-income workers for child care, education, housing, welfare, retirement, health care and other social purposes.

These tax credits are devised to phase-out based on income, which will ultimately increase marginal income tax rates for middle-class workers. In other words, as you earn more, you suffer a penalty in the phase-out of these credits, which has the exact effect of a marginal tax rate increase. That harms, rather than improves, the economy.

With the bottom 40% of income earners not paying any federal income taxes, such tax credits would not reduce any tax liability for these workers. Instead, since they&#039;re refundable, they would involve new checks from the federal government.

These are not tax cuts as Obama is promising. They are new government spending programs buried in the tax code and estimated to cost $1.3 trillion over 10 years.

Obama argues that while these workers do not pay income taxes, they do pay payroll taxes. True, but his planned credits do not involve cuts in payroll taxes. They are refundable income tax credits designed to redistribute income and &quot;spread the wealth.&quot;

Meantime, Obama has proposed effective tax increases of 20% or more in the two top income-tax rates, phasing out the personal exemptions and all itemized deductions for top earners, as well as raising their tax rates.

He wants a 33% increase in the tax rates on capital gains and dividends, an increase of 16% to 32% in the top payroll tax rate, reinstatement of the death tax with a 45% top rate, and a new payroll tax on employers estimated at 7% to help finance his health insurance plan. He&#039;s also contending for higher tariffs under his protectionist policies.

Finally, he would increase corporate taxes by 25%, though American businesses already face the second-highest marginal tax rates in the industrialized world, thus directly harming manufacturing and job creation while weakening demand for the dollar.

Obama argues disingenuously that his tax increases would only affect higher-income workers and &quot;corporate fat cats.&quot; But it is precisely these top marginal tax rates that control incentives for savings, investment, entrepreneurship, business expansion, jobs and economic growth. While he wants to tax the rich, the burden will fall on the poor and the middle class.

In their new book, &quot;The End of Prosperity,&quot; Art Laffer, Steve Moore and Peter Tanous argue that the threat of this tax tsunami is already destabilizing our financial markets and causing capital flight from America.

They write, &quot;Hot capital is escaping over the borders out of the United States and flowing into China, India, Europe, and even Japan. . . Starting in late 2007, foreigners started pulling their money out of the United States, and Americans started investing more abroad. Global investors are losing confidence in the U.S.&quot;

The American economy was in shambles when Reagan entered office in 1981. Inflation had soared by 25% over the prior two years, unemployment was heading toward 10%, the prime interest rate hit 21%, poverty was on a 33% upswing and real family income had decreased by almost 10% due to the stagflation of the late 1970s.

Reagan cut the top income-tax rate from 70% to 50%, adopted an additional 25% across-the-board rate cut and sliced capital gains taxes in half. The 1986 tax reform left us with just two tax rates of 15% and 28%. Reagan slashed spending growth, lowered tariffs, reduced regulatory burdens and promoted anti-inflation monetary policies.

The result, the authors explain, was actually a 25-year, noninflationary economic boom, with only two brief, mild recessions in 1990 and 2001. &quot;We call this period, 1982-2007, the 25-year boom — the greatest period of wealth creation in the history of the planet,&quot; they write. &quot;Adjusting for inflation, more wealth was created in America in the 25-year boom than in the previous 200 years.&quot;

By 1989, the economy had grown by almost one-third, the equivalent of adding the entire economy of West Germany to our U.S. economy. In 1984 alone, real economic growth boomed by 6.8%, the highest in 50 years. Nearly 20 million new jobs were created in the 1980s, increasing U.S. civilian employment by almost 20%. Unemployment fell to 5.3% by 1989.

Spectacularly, inflation was slashed to 3.2% by 1983. The prime rate fell to 6.25% by 1992, even though opponents had argued that Reagan&#039;s tax cuts would increase interest rates. Family income reversed its decline, poverty reversed its rise and tax revenues actually doubled.

This is the &quot;Change We Need&quot; today.</description>

<p>With the bottom 40% of income earners not paying any federal income taxes, such tax credits would not reduce any tax liability for these workers. Instead, since they&#8217;re refundable, they would involve new checks from the federal government.</p>
<p>These are not tax cuts as Obama is promising. They are new government spending programs buried in the tax code and estimated to cost $1.3 trillion over 10 years.</p>
<p>Obama argues that while these workers do not pay income taxes, they do pay payroll taxes. True, but his planned credits do not involve cuts in payroll taxes. They are refundable income tax credits designed to redistribute income and &#8220;spread the wealth.&#8221;</p>
<p>Meantime, Obama has proposed effective tax increases of 20% or more in the two top income-tax rates, phasing out the personal exemptions and all itemized deductions for top earners, as well as raising their tax rates.</p>
<p>He wants a 33% increase in the tax rates on capital gains and dividends, an increase of 16% to 32% in the top payroll tax rate, reinstatement of the death tax with a 45% top rate, and a new payroll tax on employers estimated at 7% to help finance his health insurance plan. He&#8217;s also contending for higher tariffs under his protectionist policies.</p>
<p>Finally, he would increase corporate taxes by 25%, though American businesses already face the second-highest marginal tax rates in the industrialized world, thus directly harming manufacturing and job creation while weakening demand for the dollar.</p>
<p>Obama argues disingenuously that his tax increases would only affect higher-income workers and &#8220;corporate fat cats.&#8221; But it is precisely these top marginal tax rates that control incentives for savings, investment, entrepreneurship, business expansion, jobs and economic growth. While he wants to tax the rich, the burden will fall on the poor and the middle class.</p>
<p>In their new book, &#8220;The End of Prosperity,&#8221; Art Laffer, Steve Moore and Peter Tanous argue that the threat of this tax tsunami is already destabilizing our financial markets and causing capital flight from America.</p>
<p>They write, &#8220;Hot capital is escaping over the borders out of the United States and flowing into China, India, Europe, and even Japan. . . Starting in late 2007, foreigners started pulling their money out of the United States, and Americans started investing more abroad. Global investors are losing confidence in the U.S.&#8221;</p>
<p>The American economy was in shambles when Reagan entered office in 1981. Inflation had soared by 25% over the prior two years, unemployment was heading toward 10%, the prime interest rate hit 21%, poverty was on a 33% upswing and real family income had decreased by almost 10% due to the stagflation of the late 1970s.</p>
<p>Reagan cut the top income-tax rate from 70% to 50%, adopted an additional 25% across-the-board rate cut and sliced capital gains taxes in half. The 1986 tax reform left us with just two tax rates of 15% and 28%. Reagan slashed spending growth, lowered tariffs, reduced regulatory burdens and promoted anti-inflation monetary policies.</p>
<p>The result, the authors explain, was actually a 25-year, noninflationary economic boom, with only two brief, mild recessions in 1990 and 2001. &#8220;We call this period, 1982-2007, the 25-year boom — the greatest period of wealth creation in the history of the planet,&#8221; they write. &#8220;Adjusting for inflation, more wealth was created in America in the 25-year boom than in the previous 200 years.&#8221;</p>
<p>By 1989, the economy had grown by almost one-third, the equivalent of adding the entire economy of West Germany to our U.S. economy. In 1984 alone, real economic growth boomed by 6.8%, the highest in 50 years. Nearly 20 million new jobs were created in the 1980s, increasing U.S. civilian employment by almost 20%. Unemployment fell to 5.3% by 1989.</p>
<p>Spectacularly, inflation was slashed to 3.2% by 1983. The prime rate fell to 6.25% by 1992, even though opponents had argued that Reagan&#8217;s tax cuts would increase interest rates. Family income reversed its decline, poverty reversed its rise and tax revenues actually doubled.</p>
<p>This is the &#8220;Change We Need&#8221; today.</p>

		<description>Ben Franklin was an indentured servant.  Many English and most early Irish immigrants were. 

Almost all early Chinese were.  Do ya think working sugar plantations was more fun for them?

The Portugese worked them too.

Then there were the company towns.  Next time you&#039;re in Hawaii check it out.

Hell the Koreans are still tormented by the blacks in LA.

It&#039;s called crime.

OSHA, trial attorneys, and unions have helped workers enormously, but crime has gotten way worse.</description>
