MomGoesGreen.com is dedicated to all of the things that can make our world and our lives greener. I never thought I would discuss my political views here, but yesterday I attended a rally in downtown Cleveland for presidential candidate Barack Obama and I believe I have to change my mind on that initial decision…
I believe we need a change. A positive change. I believe Obama is a new hope for change in our country. I believe we need to unite… not divide. I believe we can NOT continue on the destructive path of the past 8 years.
I believe we need to end the war in Iraq. I believe we all deserve decent health care. I believe in increased funding for education. I believe in “considering the environment” for the future of sustainability, energy, the earth and our children. I believe in people, in families… in the undeniable fact that the economic consideration of the middle-class, not big business, is absolutely essential. I believe in hope, not fear. I believe in a new path to achieve a better tomorrow.
I believe, together, we can choose to make a change we can believe in. I believe that change begins with Barack Obama.
And as my “rally pal”, Jenn, so simply put it, “We DESERVE a great president.”
Please vote. Please believe.

I am middle class America and I am very afraid of what will happen if and when Obama becomes president. I have lived in socialist countries before and while the story line sounds great, the reality is horrible. Everyone pays super high taxes and the care the government supplies is second rate at best. Raising taxes on people that make more than 250,000??? My boss makes more than that. He is a small business owner and employees 15 people. Guess what? His taxes go up and some of us will lose our jobs. That isn’t good. Whether you like to admit it or not, wealthy people create jobs. Middle class people cannot afford to pay others and start businesses. So how is taxing those over 250k going to help? I can see maybe raising that bar to 2 million or so but not 250K.
I agree we have some serious issues but re-distribution of wealth and increased taxes on those who create jobs can only be destructive at best. We all have our opinion and that is what makes our country great. I respect yours. I do not agree and I suppose my vote will cancel your vote. But I do hope that if Obama becomes president he will figure out a way to pay for all his social programs and it not affect me. If I lose my job because of his tax increases I will definitely become very very vocal about it.
We shall wait and see what happens… only 27 minutes till the first polls close.
