Palin: Obama will "punish hard work."

You can put lipstick on a tax hike and it's still a tax hike.

Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin says Democrats would raise taxes and "punish hard work."  What she is referring to is the whole "redistribution of wealth" model that Barack Obama is promoting as part of his campaign that will effect everyone from equipment leasing companies to Los Angeles Honda Dealers.

The idea is simple.  Americans normally have a "me first" attitude when it comes to their finances, so even if it makes no fiscal sense for the economy to "take from the rich and give to the poor" the important thing that the Obama campaign wants people to focus on is the idea that the majority of people will get more money.

In reality, this would be a disaster in an economy that is already fragile, and Sarah Palin knows it.  John McCain knows it.

Sadly, Barack Obama knows it to, but whatever it takes to get to the White House, he will say it.

As Palin said, "If big government spenders control the House and the Senate and heaven forbid the White House, they will have a monopoly in Washington."

Heaven forbid.
