Obama's Radical Proposal - A "PP" Plan

The more we see and hear from the soon to be New President's Administration, the more it look like it will be a return to the past--not the Present!  His proposals for economic recovery sounds a lot like a plan to reward the unproductive at the expense of the Tax Paying Citizens. In a time of national crises, why is his plan, at the expense of  those that pay taxes, now being asked to reward that part of our  citizens who have been, for too long now, not paying any income tax. When it comes to equality and  fair share, why are so many getting a free ride?  The Answer--rewarding them for their votes,  Nothing more nothing less!  This is no time for just another political ploy/gambit. I see this plam, Obama's, as a PP headed Plan, looking to the "PAST" TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEMS OF THE "PRESENT". The current Proposal sounds much like a plan out of the past, during the l930's in the Great Depression years. Instead of Change, we are just getting a rehash of the Radicalism of the Past: In l931, Huey P. Long, also known as the "Kingfish" ruled Louisiana with the "absolution of an oriental monarch..."  In l935 Long's National "Share Our Wealth "movememnt had a membership of over 4.6 million.  His program called for the confiscation of family fortunes of more the $5 million and a tax of 100 percent on incomes over $1 million a year.  The money thus collected would be enough to buy every  family a "Homestead" (including a car and other necessities aa a house and provide an annuel income of $2,000 to 3,000 (and more)."There are other "Crazy Ideas" from the past that  could be mentioned - but I think you get the message.  We are not getting, from the Obama camp, what he promised, that is CHANGE!  So far we are being faced with what looks like RADICALISM FROM THE PAST!!  The Problems can be resolved with letting the markets work--Laissez-Faire, and cutting taxes.  This Chicago "Bull Crap" is nothing but political inapptitude and party payoff. IF WE ARE TO look BACKWARDS, LET8 LOOK BACK TO WHAT WORKED. "The Dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to the stormy present." Aberham Lincoln. The Messenger.
