Subject: Why I think I'll vote for Clinton Clause

Come to think of it, I think I will cast my ballot fo Clinton.  I do truly
think Bush is the best of the three MAJOR candidates, but instead of looking
out for my own or the country's long term interest, I think i will only look
at what helps me in the short term.
By the time I graduate from college, I will have amassed a $25000 debt.  I can
only hope the increased gov't spending will raise inflation to double digits
so that I can eliminate my debt as quickly as possible.  Why worry about
the financial security of the banks that lent me the money, the banks that 
provide money for businesses that provide jobs for us all, or the banks that
allow other persons such as myself attend college.
My family (at least the side that helps support me which includes my mother,
that being the long list) is also poor.  (she earns $8671.00 a year)  Bill
Clinton's "Tax the rich" chant will really help in the long run.  Make THEM
pay for programs which help ME.  Do not even think about the fact that the
wealthier people in this country are generally the most productive, they have
money, I don't, they should suffer.  I don't even want to consider how false
the statement "The American worker is what made this country great!" is.
It is not the worker that makes a country great (if that was the case, the 
worker first philosophy of the USSR would have made it the greatest country
in the world.)  What makes a country great is its entrepeneurial (sp?)
spirit, which ran rampit throughout this country not so long ago.  Now we
have people claiming that it was the common man who built this nation.
Where would this labor be without ideas or capital?  My uncle get paid
$50000 a year doing a job that a monkey could do a FORD. (he operates a
fork lift.)  What would he be doing if someone did not risk his livelyhood
many years ago, or if someone somewhere wasn't coming out with new ideas
to stay competitive.  On Bill Clinton's welfare rolls if you ask me.
As it stands now, the national debt is to a point which paying the service on
that is the second largest item in the budget.  If something is not done
soon, it will be the only one, and we will not be able to pay it back.
At that point, our country will have no choice but to file for bankrupcy.
Maybe then we can create a better country out of the flames of the great
nation which was put on a course for ruin by LBJ and FDR.  They opened 
up a nasty can of worms of spend spend spend spend that has been continued
by our democratically controlled congress to this day.  Gov't is not and
never will be the answer to any of our ills except sell defense and protection
of individual liberty.  Ressesions and depressions will eliminate themsleves
if given time and patience and if the gov't stays out.  The deficit will
not go away unless someone PAYS it.  The babies of this country need to grow
up and realize that 3/4 years of resession and 3/4 years of very slow
growth is not that bad when compared to what may happen if we continue our
downward spiral of deficit spending.  
Also please note when the economy went south, very very close tot he time
Georgie broke his no new taxes pledge.  What does that tell you.
