You Did It! You Elected Barack Obama!

To America's young people:

Citizens in a Democracy deserve the government they elect so please allow me to preview what you asked for and what you will get.

It is fairly clear to the most casual and unbiased observer that Barack Obama will be a very Liberal President in the White House and he will have an unchecked Liberal congress to conspire with. His views and whatever published speeches, interviews and writings his campaign has not been able to suppress all speak to his proclivities. From his own mouth he has pronounced, "spread the wealth" and from his own interviews he champions "income and wealth redistribution" and the "redistributive responsibility of government".

In this Global Economy companies will bolt overseas where the corporate taxes are lower, taking jobs with them. Why stay here in the USA when the government will continue tax and bash you. Obama has already demonized Big Oil, Big Pharma, and Big Healthcare, big anything that creates jobs! Come on, do you really think that engaging in class warfare and insulting American capitalists and American business can be reconciled after he takes office? If I were running a big business I would head for the friendliest country I can find and re-incorporate there or I otherwise risk being taxed and regulated into oblivion by the "spread the wealth" crew. If I stayed in America, I surely would not grow too quickly and
