Accoring to me, both maccain and Obama are wrong and epreciating for america.

McCain promises to "take on" the drug companies, as if those who produce and market the medicines that improve and save human lives must be fought; he promises to ration energy by means of a cap-and-trade scheme, as if the government has a moral or constitutional right to dictate how much energy a company may purchase or use; he promises to "battle" big oil, as if those who produce and deliver the lifeblood of civilization need to be defeated; he promises to "reform" Wall Street, as if those who finance the businesses that produce the goods and services on which lives of americans depend are thereby degenerate; he seeks to uphold the ban on drilling in ANWR, as if the government has a moral or constitutional right to prevent Americans from reshaping nature to suit their needs; and so on.

Obama promises to socialize health care (under the tired euphemism of "universal health care"), as if insurance companies, doctors, and patients have no right to use or dispose of their property or to contract with one another according to their own judgment; he promises to increase the minimum wage, as if employers and employees lack those same rights; he promises to pour taxpayer money into "alternative energy," as if the government has a moral or constitutional right to confiscate money from productive citizens in order to subsidize tilting windmills; he promises to force oil companies to fund government handouts to Americans, as if the owners of oil companies have no right to their property or profits; he promises to bail out homeowners who cannot pay their mortgages, as if the government has a moral or constitutional right to make some people pay for the financial mistakes or hardships of others; he promises to "incentivize" students to do "community service" by offering them taxpayer-funded college tuition, as if the government has a moral or constitutional right to do so; and so on.

In regard to foreign policy, McCain promises to "respect the collective will of US democratic allies," as if America has no moral right to defend her citizens according to her own best judgment; and he promises to finish the "mission" of making Iraq "a functioning democracy" even if it takes "one hundred years," as if the U.S. government has a moral or constitutional right to sacrifice American soldiers to spread democracy abroad.

Obama promises to uphold the idea that "America's larger purpose in the world is to promote the spread of freedom. . . . dignity, and opportunity," as if Americans have a moral responsibility to minister to the uncivilized and the unfortunate across the globe; and he promises to negotiate with jihadists who chant "Death to America," as if Americans will be safe from these lunatics when the lunatics give Obama their word.

Both candidates hold that the purpose of government is to manage the economy, to regulate businesses, to redistribute wealth, to bring freedom or democracy to foreigners, and to defer to the will of others on matters of American security.
But this is not the proper purpose of government.
A government is an institution with a monopoly on the use of physical force in a given geographic area. The proper purpose of government is, as the Founding Fathers recognized, to protect each individual's right to live his life as he sees fit (the right to life); to act on his own judgment, free from coercion (the right to liberty); to keep, use, and dispose of the product of his efforts (the right to property); and to pursue the goals and values of his choice (the right to the pursuit of happiness). The way government achieves this vital purpose is by banning the use of physical force from social relationships and forbidding foreigners to physically harm citizens or their property. And, crucially, because government is an agent of force, it too must be prohibited from misusing force, which is why the founders wrote the U.S. Constitution, the purpose of which is to limit the power of government to the protection of individual rights. A proper government does everything necessary to protect individual rights and nothing that in any way violates individual rights.
Should a businessman be free to keep, use, and dispose of the wealth he produces—or should he be forced to hand some (or all) of it over to those who did not produce it? The answer one gives depends on whether one thinks a person is morally entitled to the product of his effort—or morally obligated to serve others.

Should doctors, patients, and insurance companies be free to contract voluntarily with one another—or should the government dictate the terms of their agreements? The answer one gives depends on whether one thinks individuals have a moral right to act on their own judgment for their own sake—or a moral "duty" to sacrifice for their neighbors or "the poor" or society.

Should a nation's leaders rationally, self-interestedly decide, given all the relevant facts, how best to defend their country's citizens from foreign aggression and then act accordingly—or should those leaders selflessly defer to the judgments of leaders of other nations? The answer one gives depends on whether one regards acting on independent judgment as morally correct—or deferring to a "collective will" as the right thing to do.


I use to love America, I use to think that it woul be great if I get a chance to be a citizen of America, my brother lives there and it was so easy for me to shift, but I gave up that idea, its not the america which I used to love.
This america which Maccain or Obama are promising, is no better than India, America is depreciating its values.
This crisis, Ohh comeon! I am not talking of economic crisis, (actually there's no economic crisis its just a hoax) The crisis I am talking about is the Moral Ethical crisis. Americans lost their ethical identity. I wish they retain it somehow.
I see america NOT as a country fastly moving towards freedom of Individual providing soveriegnity for each an every individual in himself, on the other hand, America is slowly becoming a collectivists state under the statist government. America is becoming socialist and communist, I fear America itself will turn out to be a new soviet union. what a disgrace!
