Keith McCorkle said that “I’ve been waiting for decades for some of that money they have at the top to trickle down to me, but I haven’t gotten a drop." So this guy must not have a job because he gets nothing from the people with more money above him. The money from the top he expects to trickle down is not a paycheck, which is the only thing he deserves from them, it is free handouts. Last that I knew the American Dream was not for the government to give handouts. The American Dream is the ability to work you butt off, yes I said work, and hard, these are two things I know are lost in many from my generation. That hard work can pay off and you may even become rich. With that hard work comes hard earned money that you earned yourself, no one can take that away from you… well that is how it was, but, you need to be patriotic, since you worked hard and made money you need to give it up so other people can have your money. So what does that say about the new American Dream? Hope some else becomes rich and successful so they can pay money to you for doing nothing. You will get paid for being stupid and or lazy. To me that does not sound one bit appealing. To those who are stupid and or lazy, well it sounds like a pretty good idea. I am 20 years old and I know the economy is doing badly, but there are two ways for it to go, get better or worse. Obama's plans, if he carries them out will steer us toward the latter. People don’t become rich because they give out money, and anybody from rich to poor is not going to willingly give up money. It is ridiculous to think by taking from the rich and giving it to the middleclass will help in any way. The rich will compensate by lower wages, layoffs, higher prices, etc. Now you tell me how is this going to help the middleclass? The only thing Obama is going to do for the middleclass is control them by making them dependent on the government. We have gone from trickledown economics to capillary poverty. The rich will lose money, they will pass that loss down to the middleclass, as well as others because the rich will not have as much money to donate to charities. Everyone will lose money. So who gains? Obama and the government gain control over you. People who eat this stuff up, believing that Obama is going to save our economy, are like cows being herded up to be slaughtered. You will do whatever Obama says because you are so out of touch and brainwashed from how the world really works, just like all the intelligence of a cow has been removed through breeding over time. The long time liberal bias in the media, liberals running the colleges and schools, the hate for Bush who is NOT a conservative, the falling apart of the republican party due to Bush, and a bad economy and promises of utopia are all the set up for the perfect storm, Barack Hussein Obama as president and a socialist economy.

First of all I would like to appoligize to Mr. McCorkle for making him sould like someone who is not hardworking. I was trying to make a point about how a lot of people feel, that they deserve free handouts from the government. What I said out of anger against him I am truely sorry. But what I am trying to say is still that Barack Obama is not going to help your father or any other hard working American, he says he will and I actually beleive that he wants to but his ideas are outright dangerous and crazy if he thinks they will work. I think Mr. McCorkle and I could agree we need a change from how things are now, but the point I am trying to make is that the change is not needed in the direction we are going now with Obama. Government and more control from the government is not going to help any middleclass American, it will only help those in the government, including your savior Mr. Obama. My father has also worked hard all his life, 30 years in a crappy factory that he hated, all so he could support his family. We are not the richest but money is not the only thing in life and I am very greatful for his hard work to support his family. but he does not want money to be taken from the rich and given to him, when you do that all the value of hardwork is taken away. My grandpa worked as a firefighter and to support his 6 children he worked as a carpenter on the side, he would be gone for days at a time and not see his family. He saved lifes, worked rediculous hours, owned a farm and taught me the value of hard work and what it means to earn what you get. My grandfather recently passed away and in his passing i see the value of hard work is being lost, people are looking for a free ride from Barack Obama. People like my grandfather and your father deserve more than to have their work lessened by others getting handouts for doing far less. My stand on what Obama is going to go to this country and why his plans wont work still stand, but I am sorry for implimenting you father to be one of the lazy people who dont want to work and want the government to support them, please forgive me and thank your father for being a hardworking American, the backbone of this country, but I would like to urge him to think about what Obama really wants to do and what will happen in result to his radical ideas.
