Obama Is Bad for the Economy - Barron's

Here we are, arguing about which rich politician will be better for us based on how much of our money they want to siphon off our paychecks. The government taking money away from ANYONE is bad for the economy, regardless of rich or poor. The assumption that the government can spend money in a wiser fashion than an individual is crazy. When the government spends my money I get a war in Iraq, troops sent to Bosnia and annoying IRS forms every January. When I spend my money I get a new plasma TV, an expensive bottle of Scotch and, if I'm lucky, some action from a hot chick that likes my taste in new plasma TVs and expensive Scotch. Personally, I think I give myself a much better deal.
