The Wall Street Journal says "Sen. Barack Obama shed new light on his economic plans for the country, saying he would rely on a heavy dose of government spending to spur growth, use the tax code to narrow the widening gap between winners and losers in the U.S. economy, and possibly back a reduction in corporate tax rates" (6/17/08).

The problem for Obama, is that he is having to switch positions because his previous opinions were wrong on the tax issue. He is probably trying to avoid becoming Jimmy Carter's second term. (although if we get another Carter, does that mean in 4 years we would get another Reagan?)

Remember from a couple months ago when Clinton and Obama were debating about the capital gains tax? Obama showed his lack of judgement and inexperience, even when confronted with the facts by the moderator Gibson.

Now Obama needs to think really hard for his next step. He faces the problem where he is wrong on the issue: TAXES. Now he can either change his position, and be labeled a flip-flopper, or he can stick to his guns and ride his failed ideas into the dirt.

Now if he continues to change his position on the issues, and follow McCain's lead, like he hints at now with the issue of taxation, then we need to ask ourselves if we want the guy who recently got it right, or the guy who knew better all along. It's true what people say, that "it's better late than never," but also consider that ignorance in our leaders is NOT bliss. If you want prosperity, then take a good look at limited government and personal responsibility.
