The Democrats are not just in a race for the White House.  They want to dominate the legislature too, creating a large one party majority in government.  This would eliminate any political debate on issues and allow for a government to rule by mandate.  The President and the Legislature would not run the government, the Democratic Party would.  Democrats are more loyal to their party platform and ideology than Republicans.  For the Democrats, it is of the party, by the party, for the party.

The last few times the Democrats wielded such power we were inundated with programs that turned into financial fiascos and failures.  It started with Franklin Delano Roosevelt.  It worsened with Lyndon Baines Johnson and went regressively down hill with Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.  We are still paying the price for the social and social engineering failures of the Roosevelt and Johnson administrations.  The entitlement programs that these two implemented helped no one.  They only financed failing programs, some of which are still in place today; and we are still financing them.

If the Democrats regain power, the Middle Class will suffer.  We will be stuck in a perpetual rut, just like people on welfare were for generations; born in poverty, live in poverty, die in poverty.  That was the war on poverty.  The Liberal war on the Middle Class is more insidious.  They will stop us from becoming more prosperous and hopefully for some of us, achieving wealth.  They detest the wealthy, even though many of them are wealthy themselves.

The average American wants to achieve.  They want to prosper and define their prosperity.  To some it is living a comfortable life in economic security, to others it is the quest for the holy grail of riches.  This is what freedom is all about.  No one wants to regress and sets out to live a life of poverty.  The Democrats believe in punishing success and achievement.  There is no reward system built into their platform.  There is no incentive.  To achieve a modicum of success and wealth is to be punished through regressive taxation and to be vilified in the media.  Democrats do not believe in upward mobility. 

Imagine this for a moment.  You are a working person, bringing home a pay check, paying your bills, and lamenting that during some times of the year there is more month and the end of the money.  All forms of taxes eat into your income; sales taxes, increasing property taxes, higher taxes on things you use everyday, etc.  The Democrat plan to raise taxes on the wealthy sounds good to you, right?  Let them pay more, they have it, they can afford it and it will not hurt them.  One day, you get an epiphany.  You discover and invent a widget that turns into the hottest product on earth.  All of a sudden you are now the wealthy.  You are now the enemy.  You now have a target on your back and the Democrats are aiming a big financial gun at you.

If this seems far fetched, you are dead wrong.  Throughout modern history, most inventions, innovations, and new wealth were created out of the Middle Class.  That is right.  Historically the Middle Class created ideas and products that made some of us wealthy.  Just one example will suffice.  There was a man who owned a small five and dime store.  He worked hard, expanded his business, had a few ideas on a new way of doing retail business.  He eventually created a behemoth that has done more to eliminate poverty and create jobs- according to prominent economists- than the U.S. Government.  His name was Sam Walton.  His creation- Wal-Mart.  Wal-Mart is villified daily and is the enemy in many Democratic Legislative quarters. 

The Middle Class are the innovators.  We not only created the products and ideas, we created the subsequent jobs that were a result of our ideas.  We are the enemy.  If taxing the wealthy into oblivion is the plan, then there is no incentive to create, innovate, invent, new products, ideas, and technologies.  There is no incentive create new wealth.  In effect, taxing the wealthy higher is a tax on the Middle Class.  A tax that will keep us right where we are, stuck in a rut, working until we retire or die, never rising above our station.  Just like the Democratic War on Poverty did to poor people.  The Democrats call this progressive.  I call it oppressive.
