Hillary Clinton may well go down in history - not because she's the first possible woman candidate, but because she'll be the first candidate in American history to win promising to raise taxes as high as they'll go and putting the government in charge of everything.

It's really strange to think that a nation that traces its roots to a revolt against high taxes is now going to put a bunch tax oppressors in charge. The American colonists groaned under inflated taxes (on everything), lack of free trade and government regulation of speech/press (via the stamp act - which was also a tax.)

This is pretty much the Democrat platform for 2008. Hillary the front runner supports Chuck Rangel's tax hike. She hates free trade. Hillary supports "the fairness doctrine" - a nice way of saying "government regulated speech." And although Madam Clinton publically denounces Bush's wire tapping of terrorist suspects, she sees nothing wrong with listening via wire taps on political opponents (see "Her Way" by Don Van Natta Jr. and Jeff Gerth.) Didn't libs chase Nixon out of office for stuff like this? And today it doesn't bother them?

What is the end result of all this socialism? They're destroying the American dream. You know, that romantic idea of the United States where if you work hard you can become wealthy and prosperous. It's the dream that still brings people here.

But Dems and libs are putting artificial walls between the middle/lower classes and the rich/upper class. By punishing people on the way up, they're basically holding people down. Someone on the verge of making it is going to have a much tougher time overcoming the inflated taxes and excessive red tape than someone who is already there.

And isn't it interesting that the people who making all of these assertions happen to be already there? Congress is composed almost entirely of millionaires. Wealthy elitists who find the idea of paying for their own campaigns to be offensive (thus they look to lower/middle classes for their re election money.)

Like the kid demanding money from their parents cause they don't want to spend their allowance - these elites look at the lower classes as a bottomless hole.

I guess I would be considered "middle" class (even though it sure doesn't feel that way.) And yet every time there is a tax hike on "the rich" I see my rates skyrocket. Not only I am overtaxed, I'm constantly being lectured on how the Federal/State/Local government doesn't have enough money. Thus they're raising fees, raising tolls, going to start charging for this, going to start charging for that, etc.

Now - despite the fact that we're going broke, we're going to give non paying illegals all kinds of stuff, build bridges to no where, pay for art work that both attacks my principles and I'll never see. Course my personal favorite is Hillary's pet Woodstock Museum which she wants to dump one million dollars in too ( not for her aging, dinosaur liberal base but "for the children" I'm sure.)

And just this week, Pelosi is pushing for a shorter Congressional work week...so they'll spend less time having to look busy. Like college professors, they're grossly overpaid for the nothing they do. But I digress.

The bottom line is that the libs are going to create the system they claim to oppose once again: where a pot smoking, rich, decadent class of elitists rule over the peons. And of course, lame lefties will call it a "free and fair" society. Watch how they drool over Castro's Cuba, Chavez's Venzuela, etc.

The last thing this country needs is more socialists/communists - much less another Clinton presidency.
