Senator Claire McCaskill - In Essence - Government Owns Your Income

This clip from FOX News really got to me. The interview with Senator Claire McCaskill, a Missouri Democrat, shows how out of touch the Democrats are. McCaskill believes that the vote on extension of the Bush tax reduction is voting to "give money to the rich". The last time I looked, by not extending the Bush tax reduction, the Government is stealing the hard earned rewards for their labor, of the rich, the small businesses and everyone who has lost income and jobs due to overreaching government redistribution programs and deficit spending.

As much as McCaskill is trying to redefine herself for her reelection campaign in 2012, this one statement tells it all. In her mind, the government owns you and everything around you and they can do what they want with you, your family, your income and your possessions.
