Obama tells small businessman he intends to spread socialism

[Little-Acorn]

At a campaign stop today, a plumber pointed out to Barack Obama that his plumbing business makes more than $250,000 per year, and so comes under the category that Obama has said taxes would be raised on. Obama replied that he didn't intend to punish the plumber. But, he said, the plan is to "spread the wealth around".

Obama said, "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."

Of course, government taking wealth from the people who made it, and giving it to people who didn't, is the main pillar of socialism, and has historically proven to be destructive to nearly any society that has ever tried it... the late and unlamented Soviet Union being the latest big one.

This is the clearest statement Obama has ever made, of his support for the Socialist ideal.

unfortunately, many people in america feel the same way as obama...we have a welfare state mentality...just look at how some of obama's supporters on this site defend "spreading the wealth" as if just because someone has X amount of $$, that amount is too much and therefore, you must give up some of the amount in order to give others a chance...

the problem with this is, it does not work...and further, obama is lying...he really means that he wants the money to go to the government in order to control our lives...is he really going to tax the plumber and then give those proceeds directly to the people?

I've found more info on what Obama said to that plumber.

“I’m gonna cut taxes a little bit more for the folks who are most in need. And for the 5% of the folks who are doing very well - even though they’ve been working hard and I appreciate that – I just want to make sure they’re paying a little bit more in order to pay for those other tax cuts,” Obama said.

----------------------------------------

To paraphrase, "From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs."

Karl Marx would be proud of Sen. Obama. The two are definitely kindred spirits. One might almost say, soul brothers.

Don't count on any of these quotations to show up in the mainstream media any time soon. Any time before the election, to be exact. They can't afford for this to come out.

If I believed in reincarnation, I might believe that Obama is the reincarnated Marx.

The mainstream isn't going to print either of these. Heaven forbid. They're in bed with Obama. But since they're on the net, they'll be passed around a lot and people will learn about them.

He's already the messiah and can do anything. I'm still waitin' to see him walk on water.

Walking on water has been done before by a white man. I expect something new and completely unbelievable. Like resurrecting the former Soviet Union.

Sounds like he's well on his way to that already.

what white man has walked on water?

Well, if you call Palestinians white, I guess.

Simply because Jesus was not Aryan does not mean he was not white.

He was Semite which makes him non-negroid and thus as far as Obama is concerned non-human.

I'm here to calm you all down. Obama isn't a socialist. This bullshit from Acorn is not about socialism. Obama has not called for the socialisation of the means of production in the US economy. If anything Obama is a conservative centrist.

So, stop panicking please.

Easy for you to say..filed your U.S. tax return yet?

Good point! He may just have a hand in doing that.

For those of you who didn't look closely while watching the "Titanic" movie, diuretic was the one running around reassuring the passengers, "This bullshit from the crew is not about a hole in the hull of the ship. It's a 'rip', not a hole. Since it has a different name from what they are telling you, this means it is no danger to the ship. If anything, a 'rip' is smaller than a hole, since holes are big and round while a 'rip' is long and skinny. So, stop panicking, please."

Yes, that was him. Get his autograph now while you can, because he has a bright future ahead of him as Minister of Information in the Obama administration, should one happen, and he won't have time then. Step right up and press the flesh with a consummate actor and snake oil salesman.
