Perhaps you've notice "LetFreedomRingUSA.com" has been launching several anti-democratic attack ads recently, especially ones warning about what will happen if we raise taxes. One I just saw stated that raising taxes on businesses will cause them to have to lay off workers and we would lose jobs. But the fact is, raising taxes (despite the glaring fact Obama and the Democrats will cut them for everyone earning beneath 250K) equates to government spending, which actually stimulates the economy as it goes to private businesses providing the goods or services. Even when spent on publicly funded entities such as education, it in turn gets spent into businesses. Government spending stimulates business.
There's an associated organization called "neverfindout.org" spreading videos (consisting of the same fallacy) calling Obama a liar on taxes. Very sad. They apparently want a certain segment of the population to "never find out" about the disaster resulting from their right wing ideology over the last 28 years, which intentionally and continually concentrated wealth into the hands of a few while everyone else had to work harder and harder for less and less.
Thus "Let Freedom Ring" is just another right wing con organization. The "freedom" they want to preserve is that of the Paris Hiltons of the world and other capitalist heros and heroines.
