I didn’t think that in this day and age a black man could be president. Don’t get me wrong, I believe that he is the best person for the job. In fact I believe that if he has Hillary Clinton, or even Bill Clinton in his cabinet, that he could very well be the best President we’ve ever had.
Now I realize that people are coming out and saying he is a Socialist and that isn’t what we want for this country since we are a Democracy, to the people who say that, I say, you don’t understand shit so stay home on election day and keep your ignorant opinions out of the polls. Socialism is what we need, in certain aspects. We all have seen in the past few weeks, months, and years that Capitalism has failed. If you aren’t rich, there’s a slim possibility that you will ever get rich, and if you are poor and have no healthcare then you are out of luck.
Socialism works, Socialized medicine is something that we are missing. Cuba has it, Canada has it, almost every country in Europe has it, but for some reason we don’t, we tend to think that if we adopt Socialized ways of life that we will somehow lose our freedom. Tell me something, if people don’t like Socialism, does that mean they don’t like the US Postal Service? That is a Socialist idea. So is Social Security. Quick you better stop paying into it, after all you don’t want to support Socialism right?
No one is saying that we want something for free, or that we want the Government in our everyday lives, but we do want the very basic things that we need to survive as citizens of this or any other country, and that is Healthcare.
Why should an insurance company make profit because you want to be okay in case you need surgery? Why should a company tell you that you can have the surgery, but they aren’t going to pay for it, even though you’ve been paying them for years? People love this capitalism so much, but no one sees that capitalism is taking people’s lives.
I’ve heard people say that Obama shouldn’t be president because he is going to give so much more to black people than he will white people. People look at him and see a black man, yet they forget that his mother was white, and people seem so quick to make the assumption that he will only help black people. What is he going to give to them that he isn’t going to give to all Americans? How do you give one race something that you don’t give to all Americans? He has said that anyone who makes over 100,000 dollars a year will be paying more taxes, I didn’t hear him say that it was going to exclude black people making over that amount, or that black people making under that amount will be getting the tax breaks, because he can’t say, nor can he do that. I know someone who even suggested that he would tax people who make over 100,000 dollars because most of them are white and by doing that it would benefit the majority of black people, which I find the dumbest statement of all, mainly because the person who said this makes no where near that much a year, and I surely don’t make that much, so there’s two white Americans who would benefit from that.
Obama has said that we are the change that we’ve been waiting for, and I honestly believe that he will make a lot of decisions that won’t make a lot of Capitalist money hungry CEO’s happy, and I think that is a good thing.
