Democrats should give up their plans for wealth redistribution and government spending. The fact is that Americans today are outraged about the state of the economy, and especially about government spending at all levels. While "hope" and "change" may have been big winners in 2008, with the president profiting politically by threatening to take money from those who have earned it and giving it to those who have not, these messages will not be big winners in 2010. Redistributionist policies have put the economy into worse shape than when Obama took office in January of 2009, with unemployment soaring, and small businesses continually closing their doors. Despite what the president says about the recession being "over," Americans are still facing financial uncertainty at home, and so these policies are just not politically palatable anymore.
