Spread the wealth, swallow the crap sandwiches

By Michelle Malkin  •  October 13, 2008 05:43 PM

I know you all are dying to weigh in.

Plumber to Obama: “Your new tax plan is going to tax me more. Isn’t it?”

Obama: “It’s not that I want to punish your success, I just want to make sure that everybody that is behind you, that they have a chance for success too. I think that when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”

Crap Sandwiches: It’s what’s for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

    Just remember as it was said in Animal Farm:
    Everybody is equal…its just that some are MORE equal than others.
    I do not think we will see Obama or his crowd passing out their wealth anytime soon.

    mdt – Actually it will be 54.9% FEDERAL tax rate under Obama (see Fleeced by Dick Morris, p23). Add state and local taxes and THE RICH(?) will be paying over two thirds of their adjusted gross income to gov. taxes.

    Let’s say I make a million a year. That would be $549,000 to the feds and another $100,000 or so to state and local tax. That leaves me about $350,000 of my million to live on. Most people like you would say that’s plenty, like its your business to decide how much I get to keep. But here’s what you don’t consider. To make that much we took the risk of having a small family business. We worked hard to build that business to where it is now. But under more onerous taxes we will not be able to afford as many employees as we do now, or buy as much equiptment, health care, etc.

    When small business (which is most of the business in the US) cannot afford more employees and equiptment THE ECONOMY GRINDS TO A HALT!

    WHERE THE HECK DO YOU THINK GROWTH COMES FROM?!

    Please take an economics class before you spout off that lame stuff. You look like a fool.

    I know it won’t come as a surprise to anyone that reads this blog, but, on the Bay Area News, various people were interviewed about their reaction to the bank crisis and bailaout. Most were worried about their futures and upset that underperforming CEO’s were being rewarded with millions. One person interviewed yelled at the cameraman that “the U.S. need to become a socialist country.” Probably the most honest person I’ve heard on the news recently. At least I know where he stands. I’ve had enough of socialists and the gimmee, gimmee, gimmee crowd.

    My individual salvation depends on
    our collective salvation.

    He thinks he’s on a mission from God…a mission to take your money and spread it around the world (see his “Global Poverty Act”).

    Too bad Obama, like Saul Alinsky, are followers of Lucifer, not followers of Jesus Christ.

    Obama vs. Jesus

    Exactly. All the Democratic Socialist Communist Party big-wigs (Obama, Biden, Clinton, Edwards, Schumer, Reid, Pelosi, Gore, Kerry, etc., etc.) live in mansions.

    They don’t spread their wealth around in the interest of “fairness”.

    Neither do their counterparts in Russia:
    Moscow super-rich pour millions into luxury homes

    Hypocrites!

    In my 63 years of life on this planet I have never seen the Democrat goals so openly expressed. Redistribution of wealth is no longer a secret goal, but discussed by everyone in the open. Why are people who are actually paying taxes buying it? This recent meltdown is the result of the workers trying to support the rest with low cost homes that they could not afford and now,may not have to pay for. Have we reached the tipping point? Are there more of them than us? Wake up America!!!!

    I think we are at the tipping point. The dems have masterfully set a trap for the stupid party who walked right into it. The dems have been changing the terms of the debates for years using PC as their weapons. We used to debate how much, if any, gov’t intervention in free markets is necessary. Now we debate the degree to which the gov’t should mange the economy. We used to debate the appropriate levels immigration that add value to America. Now we debate to what degree should we give legal status (citizenship or z visas) to illegal aliens here. We used to debate and discuss limited entitlement programs. Now we openly discuss welath reditribution. Competition squelched for fairness. And on and on.
