Why I don't like Barack- a series of essays by Danny Olsen

I will go through some of Barack Obama's ideas and will tell you why I don't like them. This is the first in a long line of series that will deal with the socialism of the Chosen One.

Series 1- the economy. All BO's ideas are straight from his website. http://www.barackobama.com/issues/economy/

Enact a Windfall Profits Tax to Provide a $1,000 Emergency Energy Rebate to American Families:Barack Obama will enact a windfall profits tax on excessive oil company profits to give American families an immediate $1,000 emergency energy rebate to help families pay rising bills. This relief would be a down payment on Obama's long-term plan to provide middle-class families with at least $1,000 per year in permanent tax relief.

"Excessive" profits. Who gets to decide what excessive is. Will there be a formula, or is it just whatever politicians say? Guess what- taxes are paid by consumers. The oil companies won't care because they will jack up the price of gas. This was tried before- and guess what- it didn't work then, and it won't work now. All it accomplished then was a decrease in production which has a part in where we are today. Besides- this is pure socialism, and does not allow a marketplace to exist. And what is socialism- it is communism except with private property ownership.

Provide $50 billion to Jumpstart the Economy and Prevent 1 Million Americans from Losing Their Jobs: This relief would include a $25 billion State Growth Fund to prevent state and local cuts in health, education, housing, and heating assistance or counterproductive increases in property taxes, tolls or fees. Obama’s relief plan will also include $25 billion in a Jobs and Growth Fund to prevent cutbacks in road and bridge maintenance and fund school re­pair - all to save more than 1 million jobs in danger of being cut.

And where is he going to get this money? Oh, I forgot, he is an all powerful godlike wizard who should have no problem turning water into dollars. Or he could just get it through taxes. And who pays taxes? Consumers. We would like to think that if a donut cost .50 and the government imposed a tax of .02 on the baker, he would just charge us .50 and take .02 less in profit. In reality, the baker will charge us .52 and keep the same profit margin. Take a freakin business class. If you tax the rich, the ones who are business owners, they will pass their tax burden on to you in the form of higher prices. So, the so called poor and middle class will still be paying.

Provide a Tax Cut for Working Families: Obama will restore fairness to the tax code and provide 150 million workers the tax relief they need. Obama will create a new "Making Work Pay" tax credit of up to $500 per person, or $1,000 per working family. The "Making Work Pay" tax credit will completely eliminate income taxes for 10 million Americans.

Or you could just lower my tax rate. Why is that so hard- why all the credits. Its as if they are being so kind and generous that they are giving me extra money. Money that was mine to begin with.

Simplify Tax Filings for Middle Class Americans: Obama will dramatically simplify tax filings so that millions of Americans will be able to do their taxes in less than five minutes. Obama will ensure that the IRS uses the information it already gets from banks and employers to give taxpayers the option of pre-filled tax forms to verify, sign and return. Experts estimate that the Obama proposal will save Americans up to 200 million total hours of work and aggravation and up to $2 billion in tax preparer fees.

Wow. How nice of you. I guess he really does think most Americans are too retarded to figure out the 1040A form. But, he is not an elitist or anything.

Invest In A Clean Energy Economy And Create 5 Million New Green Jobs: Obama will invest $150 billion over 10 years to advance the next generation of biofuels and fuel infrastructure, accelerate the commercialization of plug-in hybrids, promote development of commercial scale renewable energy, invest in low emissions coal plants, and begin transition to a new digital electricity grid. The plan will also invest in America's highly-skilled manufacturing workforce and manufacturing centers to ensure that American workers have the skills and tools they need to pioneer the first wave of green technologies that will be in high demand throughout the world.

Boost the Renewable Energy Sector and Create New Jobs: The Obama plan will create new federal policies, and expand existing ones, that have been proven to create new American jobs. Obama will create a federal Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) that will require 25 percent of American electricity be derived from renewable sources by 2025, which has the potential to create hundreds of thousands of new jobs on its own. Obama will also extend the Production Tax Credit, a credit used successfully by American farmers and investors to increase renewable energy production and create new local jobs.

Man made global warming is a huge lie. Green like my poop after eating Fruit Loops. That is what I think of this. It is not the governments job to create jobs. I am sorry but FDR was a socialist and his New Deal is the single worst program in US history. It has done more to cripple this country than any other plan, although Johnsons War on Poverty is a very close second.

# Protect Striking Workers: Obama supports the right of workers to bargain collectively and strike if necessary. He will work to ban the permanent replacement of striking workers, so workers can stand up for themselves without worrying about losing their livelihoods.
# Raise the Minimum Wage: Barack Obama will raise the minimum wage, index it to inflation and increase the Earned Income Tax Credit to make sure that full-time workers earn a living wage that allows them to raise their families and pay for basic needs.

Do not tell businesses what they can and cannot do- this is socialism.

Create a Universal Mortgage Credit: Obama will create a 10 percent universal mortgage credit to provide homeowners who do not itemize tax relief. This credit will provide an average of $500 to 10 million homeowners, the majority of whom earn less than $50,000 per year.

Because once again it is really hard to get a 1040A form and fill out the section with your mortgage interest amount. Guess what- this really lowers the amount you get credited from mortgage interest. Only $500? I think I pay twice that much in interest on my mortgage- what a sneaky way to raise taxes, don't you think? All because you may or may not be too much of an idiot to itemize.

Expand the Family and Medical Leave Act: The FMLA covers only certain employees of employers with 50 or more employees. Obama will expand it to cover businesses with 25 or more employees. He will expand the FMLA to cover more purposes as well, including allowing workers to take leave for elder care needs; allowing parents up to 24 hours of leave each year to participate in their children's academic activities; and expanding FMLA to cover leave for employees to address domestic violence.

If you have a crappy job and a crappy employer- then find another job. Most jobs that are successfull go to great lengths to keep quality people.

Encourage States to Adopt Paid Leave: As president, Obama will initiate a strategy to encourage all 50 states to adopt paid-leave systems. Obama will provide a $1.5 billion fund to assist states with start-up costs and to help states offset the costs for employees and employers.

See my response above. Further more- where is he going to get the money? I am sure he will tax the businesses, then give it back to them as a credit to make them give out paid leave. Once again- socialism- just look at France. If you only want to work 4 days a week and get 9 months of paid leave- move to France.

I hope you enjoyed the first part of this 493 part series entitled "Obama Is a Fart Face, or why he is a socialist marxist." Stay tuned for the next installment that will look at what he thinks needs to be done in our educational system.
