Karl Marx or Barack Obama?
“Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn’t it?” the plumber asked, complaining that he was being taxed “more and more for fulfilling the American dream.”
“It’s not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they’ve got a chance for success too. My attitude is that if the economy’s good for folks from the bottom up, it’s gonna be good for everybody … I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”
This is just Obama speaking without a teleprompter during an exchange with a soon to be over-taxed American worker if Obama wins the election. For the record, this is not a fat-cat Wall Street investment banker, an oil baron, or any other rich type, he is a plumber. A skilled laborer who just so happens to make more money than some people, who more than likely falls into the 55% category of American adults that pay taxes, but will make less if Obama is elected, and support the 45% of Americans that don’t pay taxes–now that is a promise Obama will keep.

Tax the people that create the jobs and you hurt the creation of jobs. I have no confidence that someone who does not understand that principle can preside over a healthy economy.
Trickle-up economics????
i’m scared!!! i can’t believe how many americans are completely
awe struck by obama? looks like i will be moving out of the country
fairly soon.
Wat do u mean u cant believe how many people are “awe struck” by Obama, we as American citizens have the right to state our own opinions, we think different from each other and that’s just the way life goes.
I thnk wat mc ment was that pple who are awe struk by somonnes words only are idiots, rather than being awsrck by ther aktions.
I thk he also ment that anyone who writs in the venacular of instant messages is also an idiot.
