"Many of you are well enough off that ... the tax cuts may have helped you. We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."
Senator Hillary Clinton, 28 June, 2004.

Think about her statement for a minute. What is she saying? Why is she saying it? What does it matter?
Lets start with what she is saying. She is saying that the fortunate people of America have been given, extra money by the graciousness of the US Government. The tax break, is a gift, as it were that all American's should understand was granted to them. Thus it is in Senator Clintons opinion, that the time for the gift is over, and that the US Government is going to take things away from those whom have earned it, for the common good.
This if you think about it, is very scary.
Why is she saying this? Simpley put, she feels that since the Tax Cuts were a gift, a privelage, its only natural that when deemed by the elite few such as herself to have served its purpose, it is time to remove that gift. That people such as herself, will put the money they take from hard working Americans and ensure it "it goes towards the common good"
That is an extremely frightening thought.
What does it matter? Well I will tell you why it matters. People such as Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Hitler... all used those same words to justify taking from one group of people, and giving it to another, against thier will, all for the "common good"
Who decides what is the common good? Elite members of ruling class.
What is the common good? Whatever they say it is.
When is it going to effect you? The moment they decide that you don't deserve what you have earned. Its gone.. jsut like that.
Where will your money go? Wherever they decide, to whom they decide, and you will have little say in the matter.
Why should you care? Because its YOUR MONEY! Taxes are monies the governed, that would be the American People, grant the government. What you earn isn't a gift from the government.
Mrs. Clinton has clearly laid out how she feels about America. Your money is not your money, its what people like her decide it is. Thats not how America works, that isn't America. And it shoudl scare the hell out of you the thought of her in the White House.
