Who????

The Election is less than two weeks away. So once again I need to decided which candidate is most likely to do the least harm...er, do the most good.

John McCain is talking a lot about Barack Obama being a socialist. He often remarks that Obama wants to 'redistribute' wealth. I have always thought that working hard should be rewarded with monetary gains. For over thirty years, I worked hard -farming- and the monetary gains mostly ended up in someone elses wallet. But none the less I believe in trying to get ahead. I am not at all sure that is possible however.

It seems to me that John McCain also wants to 'redistribute' the wealth. Distributing wealth from those who are earning wages to those who already have most of the money in the world. In fact, that seems to be the goal of most. To move more money out of the wallets of wage earners and into the bank accounts or stock accounts of the people who are running the companies.

I maintain that if moving money up the ladder is a good thing, then mmoving it down is as well. There has to be money in the wallets folks or there is none available to move up. I'm not sure that concept is realized by those who have the money. Maybe if all the money was in those hands, whether or not there was more money would not be important? Or would the few that had it just try to redistribute is amongst themselves? The latter is more likely I think.

McCains health care plan seems to be to give the insurance companies some money and then to tax the insured on that money. That may be simplified somewhat. But it once again is 'redistributing' wealth from the many to the few. The few in this case being both the Treasure Department and the Insurance companies. I am not at all sure what Obama's health care plan would be. I have no confidence that any health care plan presented by the US Government or insurance companies would be beneficial to us people.

So for whom should I vote. Well, I have two weeks nearly left to decide. I wonder if Pat Paulson is running this year? I guess not. Sigh.
