Can we afford this outrageous new programs in the Democrat's Platform? Don't be FOOLED!

It is the height of irresponsibility to promise the Moon, more & more government give aways and Pork to special interest groups in exchange for more votes! Think, would you rather allow the ever expanding government OCTOPUS to spend, or rather waste your hard earned dollars or keep it , to decide whether you wish to spend or save it? It's a No Brainer!

Many American Sheeple are dumb enough to salivate over any new programs, they think, more benefits and Goodies! Where do you think the source of those new funding come from? More taxes , hidden fees , from your wallet!

Most of the Democratic platform consists of promising benefits that will cost already burdened taxpayers plenty. There's no mention of how these extravagant handouts will be paid for.

For example, the Democratic Platform enthusiastically endorses the incredibly extravagant worldwide handouts in the bill sponsored by Barack Obama called "the U.S. Millennium Development Goals, which aim to cut extreme poverty in half by 2015." The platform promises to "double our annual investment in meeting these challenges to $50 billion by 2012."

The Democrats' mindset is that "we need stronger international institutions." So, the platform promises to "create a $2 billion Global Education Fund ... with the goal of supporting a free, quality, basic education for every child in the world."

The Democrats want the government to take care of American kids from birth through college. "We will make quality, affordable early childhood care and education available to every American child from the day he or she is born," and "we will provide all our children a world-class education, from early childhood through college."

The Democratic platform is full of proposals to raid the pockets of John Q. Taxpayer and reduce the American standard of living.
