Palin warns against Obama nanny state

Sarah Palin (pictured) warned a crowd in Iowa yesterday that putting Obama in the White House along with Democrats running both chambers of Congress will turn the country into a nanny state.

Palin cautioned Iowans that under Obama’s “big government agenda,” their income, property and investments would be “shared with everybody else.”

She labeled Obama’s plan to provide tax credits to lower and middle-income wage-earners “the philosophy of government taking more, which is a misuse of the power to tax.”

“It leads to government moving into the role of taking care of you, and government and politicians and, kind of moving in as the other half of your family to make decisions for you,” she said.

Sarah Palin went on to say that “they do this in other countries where the people are not free.”

“Government as part of the family, taking care of us, making decisions for us. I don’t know what to think of having in my family Uncle Barney Frank or others to make decisions for me.”

Palin was introduced by Col. Bud Day, who shared a cell with John McCain in Vietnam.
