I am very unhappy with the current regime. I do not like either candidate. I can say with all honesty that just as patentguy brought up, my business will be significantly impacted if Obama is elected. I will have to choose to pass that pain onto my clients. It is plain and simple as that.
I do not see how paying significantly more taxes will raise my standard of living. I feel as if I am being asked to share my earnings with others. The harder I work, the more time I put in, the more money I am asked to give to the government.
Again, I am not favoring either party, I am simply presenting the outcome in pure logical numbers, from an engineering standpoint so to speak.
The biggest argument I hear for Obama is that he will represent change. Whether this is indeed true or not, I cannot say. He may have different views on alot of things, for better or for worse then the established views of the Clinton Bush machines….. However I am so highly against redistribution of wealth because I work alot. Long hours, long days, long nights and long weeks. I have been able to save alot of money and I don’t believe my wealth should be redistributed. People can say what they want but Obama has a VERY strong belief in redistribution of wealth. I just find that to be counter to many beliefs I have about hard work and earning your keep.
