Taxes can be used for all sorts of things. They can be used to accomplish things that are written into our constitution and benefit every single citizen equally or they can be used to support things that were never intended by the writers of the constitution, that are anathama to the ideals this country were founded on, and only benefit a few people at the expense of a few others who were coerced into paying taxes.

When the gov takes the hard earned honestly earned property of one group of people and gives it to another group of people that undermines the concept of equal protection under the law.

When it takes the property from hard earned honestly earned property of one group of people and gives it to another group who have not worked hard that undermines the value of being productive.

When it takes the property from hard earned honestly earned property of one group of people and gives it to people who are demanding the cash selfishly that undermines the value of honesty.

If you want a nation in which equal protection under the law, hard work and productivity, and honesty are decreasing qualities then by all means vote for Sen. Obama. If you want a nation that respects the constitution as written and the values just listed then vote against Sen. Obama.
