Rant on politics (again)

What?! A new post? It's only been 3.5 months, hehe. I didn't really want my next post to be yet another political rant, but a topic has been welling up in me, and perhaps I will put it down concisely and organized. Suffice to say, I do not like the current administration's direction. People were hoping for change... this is not the change they were hoping for.

Anyway, Noelle and I were watching The Incredibles this morning. Syndrome, the little kid who became the evil scientist, was "monologuing" and said this:
Oh, I'm real. Real enough to defeat you! And I did it without your precious gifts, your oh-so-special powers. I'll give them heroics. I'll give them the most spectacular heroics the world has ever seen! And when I'm old and I've had my fun, I'll sell my inventions so that *everyone* can have powers. *Everyone* can be super! And when everyone's super ... no one will be.

Now, apply that to taxes.

[Put your favorite socialist liberal here]: Oh, I'm real. Real enough to defeat you! And I did it without your precious riches, your oh-so-special wealth. I'll give them money. I'll give them the most spectacular riches the world has ever seen! And when I've given all your wealth away everyone can be rich. Everyone can be wealthy! And when everyone's wealthy ... no one will be.

are you going to a T.E.A. Party on the 15th of April? I just heard the gov't wants to give us $5000 vouchers to trade in our cars for more green cars. . . nice try, but I know they are just trying to get us to buy cars so GM doesnt go under.
I am going CRAZY!!!! Besides, my car is almost paid off. No way am I trading it in for $25,000 more debt (at least, since I have to have a car that seats 8. . . ) see, now you have me venting. . .
