So I just got off the fence. I've been very positive about Obama since the beginning and if it wasn't McCain running against him (who I have be an ardent fan of his moderate positions for over a decade), I wouldn't have been on the fence at all.
As a dedicated libertarian (small "L") who supports free markets, limited government, and more individual freedom, I abhor anything that smacks of moving toward collectivism. The current solutions to this economic crisis are alarmingly collectivist, and a recent street conversation between Obama and a plumber that he wants to move even more that way has firmly made up my mind.
Plumber to Obama: “Your new tax plan is going to tax me more. Isn’t it?”
Obama: “It’s not that I want to punish your success, I just want to make sure that everybody that is behind you, that they have a chance for success too. I think that when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”
