Share the wealth?

Obama freely admits he is going to raise taxes on those who make more the $250,000 a year and "give" their money to those less fortunate. Personally, I don't fit into the "wealthy" category, but that isn't the point. Since when does the government get to decide who gets my money? Why does Obama get to decide to "share the wealth" with those of his choosing? What's to say he won't change his mind about who is wealthy? What if he (or his liberal Democrat cronies) decide that people who make $150,000 a year are wealthy.....or $100,000? What is going to stop them? Who will they give the money to? I don't know about the rest of you, but I work very, very hard for what I earn (and am happy to do so). This nation is turning into a "give me" nation. They want the government to take care of their health care (although, why they would trust the government who has messed up social security, the school system and everything else they get their hands on, I don't understand). They want the government to pay for their child care - again, why?? We are NOT a Socialist Government.....well.......at least not yet. Never has their been an election as important as this one. Wake up people - pay attention. A vote for Obama is a vote for a huge step toward a Socialist government. Don't let it happen - get out and vote for McCain/Palin on November 4.
