McCain and Obama Plan to Rob You
I like that Obama is more open about his support for government-sanctioned theft than McCain. If Obama tells people to elect him so he can rob them and Americans willingly agree, that is far better than the con the right-leaning socialists rallying around McCain run: convincing people McCain can take and use all their savings without robbing anyone.
The next time you buy groceries ask yourself what you think about the following scenario: just before you pay I stick a gun in your face. I demand you pay twice as much as before. I will either shoot you or take everything you own and lock you up inside a dungeon for as long as I see fit if you refuse. Would you give me the right to do this? Does this suddenly become acceptable if I give you most of the money back?
Certainly I can ask for your charity. Perhaps I have a child who needs an education or medical care and you want to help. But if you have neither the means nor the desire to give this charity, do I suddenly gain the right to take this from you by force?
No. I have no right to steal from you. Nor may you give me the right to rob other people this way. Why would the theft that we do not allow as individuals suddenly become acceptable if it is done to everyone and done by a group? You and I have no more right to rob a third person as a group than we do as individuals; the fact that the three of us voted on whether this theft is legal is irrelevant.
Yet all this theft is exactly what we allow the government to do to us. Not only do we allow it, but anyone who supports Obama (or McCain) is demanding that our government steal: steal as much as possible as fast as possible from the very citizens it claims to represent.
It makes no difference how beautiful or honorable Obama makes his thieving desires sound — nor how many people believe him; it is wrong to loot, rob or steal.
