Throw out a few multi-syllable words and the rednecks are confused. To solve this dilemma, throw out a few scary words like socialism and they're stupid enough to believe it.


Amazing.
So, your point is that anyone who sees the Obama tax plan as socialistic is stupid? That would make an interesting debate. So have you given all of your evidence or do you have more that you'd like to present?


Edit : BTW, you might want to check the definition of "redneck" before you use the term. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/redneck

Last Thursday while walking to lunch on the corner of Market and East Bay, I passed what appeared to be a homeless man holding a hand-made sign that read,“Vote Obama, I need the money.” Disgusted the temerity of the man, begging on a sidewalk that my hard-earned taxes had paid for, I kicked him aside. "Get a job, you slob."

...When the check finally came I decided not to tip my waiter and explained to him that I was going to implement a practical application of capitalism.

He stood there in stoic disbelief as I explained to him that I was going keep his rightfully earned $10 tip to myself. After all, the service wasn't that great, and he was already getting a slary from the restaurant owner. The waiter stammered a few "Why practice on me? I’m just a local college student!" retorts and then angrily stormed away from the table in a steaming huff of progressive self-righteous indignation. "Oh well," I thought, "one day he may be a systems analyst or have some other good job, but today he's learned that just because you've worked hard and done your best, you don't necessarily get a tip. Or even a wage. Actually, he's lucky that I eat here regularly, otherwise he'd be out of a job. He should be tipping me."

As I walked back to my office, I began thinking about the heavy burden of corporate ownership and the endless frustration from beating my head against the wall of increasing bureaucracy year-after-year. I also thought of the majority of this year’s hard-earned profits that I had planned to reinvest in a few new cars, annual raises to the CFO and COO to reward loyalty, Christmas bonuses for my own extraordinary effort, and year-end corporate donations to the Republican Party, my Ivy League alma mater, and the Historic Charleston Foundation.

Yes indeed, in a society of have's and have not's, it's harder than you think to be a have.
Bingo!! That sounds much more realistic..
