Social Responsibility?

Today I saw one of those really annoying ads for a company that negotiates down your back taxes and I thought of why people are looking to Obama as the ‘change’ candidate.

What is annoying about the ads are the people that look so happy they just defrauded all the rest of us.  “I owed the IRS 95 thousand dollars and they settled for 5 thousand”.  At least that’s what I find objectionable. The ads should read “I owed the US Government 95 thousand, but I thought I’d make you pay it”.

What’s damned scary is that the liberals don’t find the same things annoying.  What they hear is “I owed the IRS 95 thousand dollars, and you could get away cheap like I did”.  That is exactly what is happening with the mortgage debacle.  What Senator Biden said in the VP debate last week was the bankruptcy court should have the power to re-write mortgage contracts.  And Senator Obama wants the government to buy mortgages so the government can do the same thing on their own.  Liberals only want to know why they aren’t getting theirs.

What happened to “Ask not what your country can do for you…”?

For the record, Senator McCain has echoed a similar plan on a smaller scale.  He is wrong too. 
But we’re not ready for a third party…  yet.
