Oh Hillary...

While on the 2008 presidential campaign trail, Hillary Clinton made a stop in Webster City, Iowa this week which happened to be the location in which the democratic nominee hopeful unveiled her plan to essentially give $1,000 to every married couple that makes less than $60,000 per year to use in a 401(k) sort of investment scheme. This plan also included a gift from the government of $500 per year to married couples who make between $60,000 and $100,000 in one orbit around the sun. She did also say there would be a similar plan for single citizens but it would involve less money. The arrangement requires a dollar-for-dollar match of the lower income couples first $1,000 while a fifty-cent for every dollar contribution from the wealthier couples. By her own calculation, the plan would cost about $25 billion every single year; yes that’s billion with a b. This plan, to me at least, reeks of problems. First of all I still don’t get why democrats think they can handle our money better than we can. If a democrat is elected to the White House next November the Bush tax-cuts we have been enjoying the past couple of years will no doubt be one of the first things out the window to help pay for this idea that American’s can’t figure out how to save enough of their own money to retire comfortably. Instead we will pay more taxes into a pool of money that will essentially be redistributed to those married couples that make less than $100,000 per year to be used for retirement. What is wrong with letting us keep our money to spend or save it as we wish? Clinton does say that it will be a voluntary plan meaning you don’t have to benefit but you can still pay, how nice of her. I’m sure congress wouldn’t mind using that extra money to okay another pay-raise for themselves.
This proposal comes a week after the former first lady unveiled the idea to give every child born in the United States a $5,000 bond to use either for college or for a down payment on a house. In other words not only is the generation born after the baby-boomers not going to get any social security from the account they have been and will be paying into for their whole lives, but they would also be paying $5,000 to every offspring that happened to come into the world on American soil, including that of illegal immigrants. The all-too-possible, soon to be wicked witch of the west wing has since retracted this awful thought only to come up with the dandy that is described in the first paragraph.
Another reason that her new inspiration to take away our freedom to spend our money as we may is nothing short of brainless in the fact that it is only for married couples. Can someone please tell me why, just because hard-working big Barb down the street can’t seem to find a man to satisfy her hearty appetite she doesn’t get as much money as the cute couple down the street who still have a copy of daddy’s credit card for “emergencies”? Yet, poor single Barb will still be paying just as much, possibly more, into this account that will be used to keep old-farts, who at least used to be married, able to drive around their cars causing fatal accidents at an alarming rate. Not to mention the increasing number of homosexuals in this country who will also be discriminated against under Clinton’s proposal. Yes, Hillary is for allowing gay-marriage but guess what, the country she wants to lead isn’t. As shown by the 2006 election in which not a single state voted that marriage is valid outside anything besides between a man and a woman (take note to the singular essence of that last phrase Mr. Warren Jeffs). If gay-marriage is ever recognized in the United States as a legitimate marriage, it won’t be anytime soon, leaving all of you U.S. citizens who have found yourself attracted to the same sex paying the same and getting less, regardless of how much bling you report bringing in on your taxes in April.
I really would like someone, anyone reading this article to please tell me why in the world anyone is thinking about voting for this woman as the democratic nominee, let-alone president of the free world. Yes, she is the first woman that has a legitimate shot at taking the White House but do you really want the first to ruin the chance of there ever being another female president? I think it is time for this country to end the chapter of Clinton/Bush presidencies. The American people are obviously crying out for something new and although Hillary has different hardware below the belt then every president before her, it will be same old story if she is elected in 2008.
