Spread the Wealth

Spred YOUR Wealth

from JoeUser Forums

By now, every one who has not been living on a disappearing iceberg, knows about Obama and his run in with Joe the Plumber.  An average guy in almost every respect save one - he actually confronted Obama.  With why Obama was trying to deny him the American Dream.  Obama's response has become a rallying cry for republicans:

 

"I just want you to be clear – 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 at success too.”

He wants everybody behind you to have a chance at success too (just not you).  Perhaps less well known is an additional comment he made to Joe that same day:

…"when you spread the wealth around it's good for everybody."

Spread the wealth around.  A noble concept worthy of Marx or Engels.  ANd one many are yelling about all over the world (because the messiah said it).  But is it true?  Does Obama really beleive that is a good idea?

Depends upon how you look at it.  If you are talking about his money, now way Jose!  Obama has gotten rich by doing what?  Being a community organizer (Yea, like Jesus got rich, right? HaHa).  But it is his money to do with as he wants to.  Like sharing.  Yea, he wants to share our money, so he must be sharing his money, right?

LIke George.  HIs brother in Kenya - he shared his money, right?  No, George does not want any of that money - or so he was told to say.  How about that dear aunt he wrote about in his memoirs?  Must have shared with her, right?

Want to buy a bridge in brooklyn?

Zeituni Onyango, the aunt so affectionately described in Obama's best-selling memoir "Dreams fFrom My Father," lives in a disabled-access flat on a rundown public housing estate in South Boston.

Seems Obama does not care for that Aunt so much after all!

But what about his Uncle?  Must have taken care of him right?  Sure!  Want some lake front property in Florida?

A second relative believed to be the long-lost "Uncle Omar" described in the book was beaten by armed robbers with a "sawed-off rifle" while working in a corner shop in the Dorchester area of the city. He was later evicted from his one-bedroom apartment for failing to pay $2,324.20 in bills, according to the Boston Housing Court.

Two thousand dollars.  Obama could not spare a couple of thousand out of his millions.

So what "wealth" does Obama want to share? Not his surely.  With a few hundred dollars in charitable donations over the past several years, even as he managed to acquire millions (from Rezko perhaps?), Obama does not like to spread his wealth.

Like most liberals, we see that their charity is taking money from YOUR pocket and giving to others.  While they keep their OWN money.  After all, Charity does not begin at home, but at the IRS.

What a great example we have of unbridled greed and avarice.  And we have 4 years of his hands in our back pockets to look forward to. 

That is Democrat, not Republican for all the bots out there.

Perhaps you folks as I pointed out in a different post should take alook at the history of taxes since 1917. When you do you will notice that in the last 30 years the richest amongst us have been making out quite well, if you base your observations on real actual history, the real hard numbers. My guess is that you wont though you'll just say "oh your wrong you look at the wrong stuff moose".

Did you check who was paying?  if you did , you would notice that you are all wet.  Rates are for suckers and the middle class.  The rich dont care about rates - but when they get high, the money goes into non-producing boondoggles that do not help anyone except the rich not pay taxes. When the rates go down, then the rich pay more.  Indeed, the rich can hardly pay more now since they are paying over 95% of the taxes now.  Unlike newspeak, the world stops at 100%.

Saying the "3rd lowest" is like saying that I am the 3rd oldest - in a room full of infants.  It means nothing.  What is paid means everything, and something you are avoiding by not addressing the subject at hand.

You are talking to brick walls.  For it is apparent by both words and actions, that right now, no one cares about effects, only feelings.  Obama admitted that taxes were not to produce revenue, but to be "fair".  Mooseplow wants you to believe that the rich are skating - even though they pay well over 90 percent of the taxes.  It is not about truth or numbers, but about feelings and "fair" and distributing your money, not theirs.

Their money is not where their mouth is.  But their hands are in your pocket.

I make $170K per year and voted for Obama. How much do you earn?

Don't tell me my money is not where my mouth is or that I have *my* hand in *your* pocket.

$170 a year where?  on welfare?  Cause you sure dont read well.  last I checked, you was you, and their was their.  their was not you.  Or is that part of the newspeak now? 

And again "their" money "their" mouth.  Google Biden and Obama's tax returns.  Google charitable giving between red and blue states. 

If YOU want to be a part of "their" jump right in.  I am sure YOU donated tens of thousands of dollars to charity too, right?  No?  Are you really "their"?

Just a little advice as well.  Dont lecture the host on their blog site.

That's $170,000 per year as an Electrical Engineer designing classified DoD communication equipment. The only reason I mention this is that there seems to be the prevailing attitude on this site that only the opinions of people that "make stuff" have validity. I make plenty of stuff, how about you?

The point you were making (or to be fair the point I *thought* you were making) by your "Their money is not where their mouth is" comment was that the people supporting Obama were those looking for a handout and not those that pay substantial taxes. I pay substantial taxes and do *not* expect/need/desire a handout which contradicts (or at the very least provides an example of a single exception to) your implication that Obama supporters hands are in “your” pocket (your words define them as you will).

Just a little advice as well. Dont lecture the host on their blog site.

A little advice back at you as well. Just blacklist anyone with an opinion counter to yours and that way you can pretend that everyone agrees with you.

However my presence here has been a short foray into the world of blogging and frankly I've found it to be totally unsatisfactory. But before you say "fine, don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out", let me make a few comments.

It's generally not in my nature to be argumentative or confrontational. I've been around the block enough times to realize that not everyone shares my particular political/religious views and again in general I don't feel any compelling obligation to try and convince folks that they need to believe like I do. On the other hand I don’t care to let what I take to be inflammatory and incorrect statements slide by without comment either. Since there’s clearly no real tolerance here for views that contradict the majority and since I have no desire to waste my breath or be the target of abuse I shall simply withdraw from the site.

You might want to take a look at my parting post Blogging? Thanks but no thanks. If I’ve aggravated you, I apologize, but you need to realize that you’ve aggravated me (and perhaps others) as well. But although I do apologize for any grief that I may have caused in my brief stint here I do not apologize for any comment that I’ve made since they have all been the truth as I see it. Deal with it as you will, it’s no skin off my back.

In any case with all of the cross posting among Stardock’s 12 forum sites you may see my name on an occasional thread scroll by but I will do my best to avoid the JU specific forums in the future. Life’s too short and I really don’t need the aggravation.

Actually my point was simpler and to the point.  Obama and Biden are hypocrites.  But being liberals I am not surprised.  As a rule (not a maxim) liberals tend to give YOUR money and not their own.  I was not really commenting directly to his supporters - which I see as 2 fold.  One are the die hards.  They are unreasonable and unreasoning.

And the others just wanted a new way -what they do not know, only that it must be better (I dont subscribe to that philosphy, and I dont subscribe to McCain changing spots - I judged him on what he did, not what he said).

A little advice back at you as well. Just blacklist anyone with an opinion counter to yours and that way you can pretend that everyone agrees with you.

YOu missed my emphasis.  I never blacklist or delete comments that I do not agree with.  I welcome them.  Not like I am going to change my opinion much (but it has been known to happen - just ask Leauki).

But dont put words into my mouth.  That will get your post deleted if it becomes incessant.  YOu have not aggravated me.  The warning was just that.  Blogging is not for all, and indeed I dont do a lot these days.  But I find it an enjoyable way to write what I want (for now) without worrying about censorship (as long as I dont trash the owner).  Good luck in your own endeavors.

I'll accept the good and ignore the parts I don't agree with. Good luck to you as well.
