answers for the economy...

We are in a severe recession, not unlike the beginnings of the Great Depression.  Read your history, a similar plan to obama's was called "The New Deal".  Basically saying no matter how hard or how LITTLE you work, the government wants to make sure you have a share of the proverbial pie, earned or not.  Instead of pulling us out of our recession, the plan to artificially suppliment the natural economic cycles actually drove us from our recession deeper into THE GREAT DEPRESSION.  I understand that many of the policies of the New Deal were innovative and overdue for the time.  We still have many of them in force today.  However, the redistribution of money collected by the government to lower income citizens as described in many Keynesian ideals is not the right answer.    Economic principals of a capitalist society are sound and do point to downturns as well as prosperity.  That is the nature of an economy.  We don’t need bigger government, we need to let the economy right itself.  These ideals of "SPREADING THE WEALTH" and giving tax rebates to poor people who don’t even pay taxes, are dangerously within the realm of socialism, defined by http://dictionary.reference.com as: a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole, as well as:the stage following capitalism in the transition of a society to communism, characterized by the imperfect implementation of collectivist principles.  THIS IS NOT WHAT AMERICA STANDS FOR, NOR SHOULD ITS CITIZENS OR LEADERS.  We are truly on the brink of a new american revolution, while I prayerfully hope that it does not lead to a conflict of violence, these ideals will inevitably lead to conflict in our country and as our country weakens, conflict globally.  Please think long and hard, about what is RIGHT!  Do not take this vote lightly, the future of our country depends on it.
