OK, that's it. I'm making plans to rob a bank, and then I'm going into politics. Because apparently, if you're rich and/or a politician, you are exempt from the rules and ways of life that everyone else must live by.

For example - McCain has attacked Biden's assertion that the wealthy should pay more taxes and do their part for their country. Now, of course that's ridiculous! Why in the world should the people who have more have to pay more!? Let those who weren't born with a silver spoon take on the added burden of the nation's debt of several trillion dollars. Serves 'em right for not working harder to make more money, what with the plethora of jobs available and the reasonable cost of living! Lazy ingrates.

As for politicians, well...that's obvious! If I become a "public servant", then I no longer have to abide by the law and the rules that the rest of the country must observe. I can hire and fire at will, regardless of just cause. I can use government money (remember, the middle class will pay the debt anyway) to fund ridiculous projects - and then keep the money when those projects peter out (with full deniability, of course). And if, by some strange chance, someone should actually call me out and attempt to investigate my actions - I don't have to participate, and might be able to stall for so long that nothing EVER happens! I can ignore subpoenas, and instruct others to do so as well. I can make sure that any potential big-mouths are so concerned about their jobs that they will bow to my superior wisdom. If I play my cards just right, I might even have a chance of being elected to one of the highest offices in the land - where I can go virtually unchecked! I tell you - what a wonderful land we live in.

So there you have it. My reasons for deciding to rob a bank (I mean, isn't that what the government essentially does these days?) and go into politics. Maybe next election, Palin and I can run together! Imagine the fun we could have...My slogan will be something along the lines of what has been happening the last 8 years:

"Work with me to make the rich richer and let the middle-class pay the debt!"
