Instead of bickering with my co-workers . . .
They're all liars. It's part of the job description. If you took polititians' words at face value, you probably thought the economy was doing good up until about a week ago. Lies and half truths are handed out like cocktail weenies at the company barbeque. You didn't think those were real meat did you?
So when some dude at work started talking about Barack Obama's tax lust, I refrained from mentioning that I'd heard him say he would actually lower taxes for 95% of Americans. Cause really, how do I know that? Obama is almost surely just as full of shit as the rest of them. *
Even if he did secretly plan to raise our taxes through the roof, can you really blame him? Did you get a check from George W Bush? I did! $600 Thanks George, that paid the last month of rent in Ames. My broke ass was thrilled to get it, too. Sure, he left the country in a broken heap behind him, but he gave us all 600 bucks!
It may take some higher taxes to fix the problems we're facing in a post-W America. In fact, I'm pretty sure the next eight years or so are probably gonna suck pretty bad no matter who's president. But what about ten years from now? It only took eight years for GW to completely trash the house, maybe a decent president could have things cleaned up in another eight. Who do you think is more invested in the America of 2016? The young organizer, or the old war vet?
And yes, I would also like to sleep with Sarah Palin, but be realistic--voting for McCain ain't gonna make that happen.
