Spread the wealth, swallow the crap sandwiches
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.

BHO’s moronomics includes cutting capital gains taxes on small businesses.
I have a small business. The only way I can realize a capital gain is by NOT re-investing the proceeds from the sale of a depreciated capital assets such as investments in machines, tools, furniture, etc.
For most small businesses, reporting a capital gain means that you are … DOWN SIZING! So Barry’s plan encourages businesses to get …. SMALLER!
What an idiot!
Spread the wealth around? That’s only going to spread the poverty around.
Oh wait, I just realized another senario where a small business would benefit from BHO’s capital gain tax cut – cash out on ALL of your investments on capital assets and then … MOVE TO MEXICO! Great incentive Barry!
Why would I ever want to grow my business? Will Obama force me to grow it so I can pay more taxes?
What madness
True Americans will learn to speak Chinese.
You don’t understand. Their inflated sense of their own intelligence and ego leads them to believe it failed because the right people weren’t in charge.
You’re taking this at face value. Middle Class is a Dem code word for welfare recipients.
Didn’t we all learn to share in kindergarten? Weren’t the kids who wouldn’t and screamed “mine mine mine” selfish little jerks?
I guess they still are.
Oh. I see. Sry MDT. I didn’t realize you were quoting a comment from the Fox site. Therefore, allow me to redirect my vile detest for the commenter from the Fox News site that posted that.
What people don’t seem to get is that a working couple that went into debt to pay for college and make about $125K each… yes.. a good salary.. but those that make that in Obama’s world are to be taxed like they were Warren Buffet.
Figure in a mortgage, out of control property taxes, saving for 2 kids college costs and everything else.. and wealthy is not how I’d describe that couple these days. Well off.. sure. But they aren’t rich. In fact, after Obama’s tax plan, they aren’t far away from someone making $42K a year that pays no taxes and would qualify for Obama-Welfare checks.
Since this can be interpreted two ways, I’ll be charitable and assume you’re coming down on the side of the individual to retain his/her wealth and possessions.
I’m fine with sharing. I donate my time, talent, and treasure to causes I think are worthy.
However, I am not compelled by the government to do so. I do it because I choose to.
In a free nation, that should be my choice and my right.
There comes a time when “charity” crosses the line between being helpful and enables bad behavior. In America, everyone has opportunity to be successful.
If we’ve learned nothing from the current financial crisis, it’s that those who are responsible often don’t find themselves in trouble. But they’re punished and forced to care for those who don’t.
Next step? Your 401(k).
Isn’t it funny how we never shared grades, though? So I guess we got to keep the fruits of our labors.
The selfish little jerks were the ones that wanted to control things and only let their friends play with them. Sounds kind of socialist, dontcha think?
And the little finger pointing tattletales just got beat up.
Yeah, so if you own a business like that plumber… Obama is going to tax the life out of your business so your hard work and long days will be spent can get a 60″ Plasma TV.
And if you WORK for a small business owner like an HVAC shop, or Electrician, you are going to be screwed royally. You’ll be lucky to have a job after Obama gets done raping small business.
He SAYS he won’t, but his tax plan says otherwise. And that’s before he pays for any of the spending orgy he would be orchestrating. Want to know where that money is going to come from? Answer: Look at the balance in your business and personal checking account. Kiss that goodbye.
Anyone who pulls the lever for Obama has to be certifiably insane. McCain’s got issues, but at least he won’t nuke our economy.
What the beer truck was doing in the high school was never determined…
Sorry, Groucho.
Good point. But have you checked out the public school system lately?
Schools give pretests and then make the real test harder for kids that do well, and easier for kids that do poorly. Then only count the second test for their marking period grade.
This is a fact. Indisputable. I witnessed it here in NJ.
Tell me how this is fair?
So… we are in fact sharing grades. Welcome to the Obama/Liberal School of rewarding mediocrity of all kinds.
“Hey Johnny what’s that you have there?” asks dad.
“This is my 17th place trophy dad. Ain’t it cool?”
Pathetic… we ARE screwed.
Obama = Hugo Chevez in sheep’s clothing.
While Bush stands in the middle of the road like a deer looking at the headlights, they’re nationalizing the banks! With only one or two Obama SCOTUS appointments they’ll next easily nationalize our utilities and then our gasoline/oil and then tell you what kind of house and car you are permitted to ‘own’… Wake up America before it’s too late!
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.
LOL
So Rabbid…. just how much money did your parents waste on that English degree anyway?
It’s all very sad…see scrappleface, who nails it today.
Let me offer a quote for the day –
“Banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies.”
-Thomas Jefferson
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.
“Social Gospel” = “Socialist Gospel” = “False Gospel”
Barack Hussein Obama said:
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
If Obama had his way, I’d be arrested for speaking the truth
(known in liberalspeak as “Hate Crimes”).

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!
Boys and girls, can you say:
INCOME REDISTRIBUTION?
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!!!!
That video should be McCain’s next ad!
Won’t happen. To many people suffer from Entitlement Syndrome
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.
