Why Obama and the Dems will win on Tuesday

[malaise]

Conservatives have never liked equality, or democracy, or giving economic or political power to regular people rather than elites


(Americans) have reached a point of realization that government by the wealthy, for the wealthy, and of the rest of us doesn't work. And that means we've reached a point of possibly considering that perhaps "government of the people, by the people, and for the people" isn't "government taking care of us." It's us, taking care of our communities, our families and one another.

8. Taxes = Investments

People wouldn't mind paying taxes, if they knew it would go to education, healthcare, etc.

Instead, it's going to fund war, service debt and create more debt. Social services are a drop in the bucket of our budget, so there's barely any direct benefit seen from our tax dollar. This is a crappy investment for most of us, though some folks close to the top are doing quite well.

11. I hope Obama explains that in detail in January n/t

12. And one way of doing that is through knowledge as it is power.
