It just makes me wonder what he has promiced to do for us. Instead of giving people in need a hand up, he is giving handouts that only keeps us beholding to Big Government that has bankrupted our nation and will continue to bankrupt the electorite.
Gimie, Gimie, gimmie is all that people want around here. Instead of fending for ourselves like the founders did, we want everything handed to us on a silver platter. I don't want handouts' I want the ability to do for myself not what the most holy government to give me. If you think the "Rich" people are bad, just where do YOU get your Jobs. Those Evil rich people give jobs to those who are not onthrapanerial and make wrong choices.
If you suceed, that gives you self esteem, even if you try you are better off. I don't want a socialist government in charge of my freedoms. Because freebies comes at a price, guess what, your freedom. Many cry freedom of choice, where's mine. You have a choice to make Nov. 2nd, will it be freedom or socialism?
