—GhandiElection Day Political Post
I've been avoiding posting a political opinion during this election cycle. I figure, when everyone's screaming why add another voice to the cacophony? But something occurred to me that I have to blog.
It all started when I heard sequential audio clips from Barrack Obama and John McCain about the economy. The bottom line; Obama believes in bubble up economics, meaning if you give a tax break to the middle class they will spend more money on products generating business growth. McCain believes in trickle down economics, meaning if you lower taxes for businesses, they will invest more in their companies, increasing incomes and employment, allowing the workers to purchase more generating economic growth.
I know that's simplistic, but I think that's the nub of it. What do I believe? I believe both are probably true, sometimes at the same time, sometimes at different times. And therein lies the problem with the dreaded two-party system. It requires the partisan to believe everything the "other" says, to be wrong, evil, un-American and dangerous.
Partisanship requires the partisan to stop thinking, stop questioning, shut up and just vote the party line. So the next time you are calling Obama a socialist or Palin a retard, why not try a bit of anarchy and think for yourself.
