Charlotte Democrat District 1 Primary

Sometimes when you have choices in an election, you have to pick the lesser of two evils. In the Democrat Primary of District 1 in Charlotte, both options are very, very, very evil. I'm not sure there is a lesser. Two questions for the two candidates were printed in the local rag.

Their top priorities:
Candidate A: Expanding spending, spending more, getting more to spend from the state, crushing freedom with massive zoning restrictions, spending more money, and limiting freedom by forcibly limiting the use of cars in Charlotte.

(Yes, I know that's not 3, but that was her answer).

Candidate B: Spend more money on public transportion subsidies, crush freedom with oppressive zoning rules, destroy automobile use with restrictive laws, talk to people.

Next question? They were asked what initiatives they would start if elected:
Candidate A: A war (yes, she used the word) on private businesses by shutting down and taking private property from anyone who has a store with what I deem to have "too large" a square footage.

Candidate B: Massive new wealth redistribution plans. Take more money from the rich to build houses for the poor. Talk to people. Give CASH to people who claim they are community leaders.

Wow. Have I mentioned yet that if you live in Charlotte and are productive that you should absolutely get the heck out. There's no hope for Charlotte. The only way to stop them is to take you money and leave while you still have any left.

3 Unfortunately, I think this is another case of the people getting what they want. Do you really think I could win? My campaign would be: 3 Top Priorities: Reducing government at all levels, reducing government services, and reducing taxes. Initiatives to start: A new giveaway program -- to give money to people who earn it via massive tax reductions, property tax reductions; and reduction in fees by removing city services where the city duplicates efforts of the private sector (garbage collection, programs for the poor, etc.)
