I am not sure who was the first person to say this, but the last person I heard say it was my dad...a republic is in trouble when the the mass of the population figures out that they can get money by voting for candidates who will take money from someone else and give it to them.
Barack Obama is now proposing an additional tax on the oil companies to fund a $ 1,000 check for "working" families. This has to be the best campaign gimmick ever. Obama is offering every "working" American $ 1,000 for their vote, which is not that brilliant by itself. The political brilliance comes with his plan to make the oil companies pay for his walking around money. Obama is buying votes at $ 1,000 a clip and it is not going to cost him a dime. You have to appreciate the sheer political brilliance of this move. However, as a citizen of this country that one day my be led by this rookie, it sets the standards for ethics at a new low. I guess Obama is a new kind of candidate after all, one whose audacity would make the Clintons blush.
