So, once again..another diary about my crazy, wing nut family. This time my 16 y.o. neice is at it. I posted a fact check blog on my myspace page re: Obama tax plan vs. McCain's blatant ad lies about it. And much to my surprise, here is the response I get.....
More below the jump.
but then again i am a backwards conservative.
whateverrrrrrrrrrr
quoted from a bulletin posted, with info from not sure how unbiased it is, but it should be credible. click for link
"Obama will ask the wealthiest 2% of families to give back a portion of the tax cuts they have received over the past eight years to ensure we are restoring fairness and returning to fiscal responsibility.
"
so.......we're going to punish the rich for being rich? when theyve more than likely worked their tails off for that money? we're going to punish the rich for being rich and try to make every body more equal and fair
yeah, that def sounds socialistic in nature. lets make everyone fair.....let everyone have the same low income.
except the gas companies and the politicians?
yeah.......thats def a step in the direction of socialism. which is only a step away from communism.
WTF?! I was like...are you friggin' kidding me? This is honeslty the first time I have ever had this "punishing the rich" argument come at me from anybody. Those tax cuts should have never been implemented in the first place and even John McCain at one time said they were unfairly geared towards to wealthiest of American's. And then to suggest that just because I support Barack Obama I am one step away from being a communist.
I have yet to respond because I am so very pissed off right now and don't want to fire off and say something I might regret...you know? We are a pretty close family, she is just 16, I am not sure how forecfully to respond to this...any suggestions?
