By the end of an Obama presidency, we will all be searching the couch for coins.

Not being a tax-mad socialist is being selfish. Expecting to keep what YOU MAKE is being selfish. Not feeding a massive welfare state that empowers give-away socialists, is SELFISH.

"when young people can all go to college///"

Hey Obama, you want to pay for everyone to go to college because that will make them better off? Will you support vouchers to let them go to schools that aren't rotten? No? Hmm. Guess those parents in the inner cities are just selfish for wanting their kids to have a chance.

What a stupid thing to say right before an election

All boats rise.

It will be impossible for boats to rise when you make the seas start declining.

That's what you said when you locked up the nomination, Barack.

You can't have it both ways!

Maybe I just haven’t had enough caffeine yet, coupled with the fact that taxes are not my area of expertise but...

It seems like on one hand Biden is saying it’s “patriotic” to pay higher taxes, then you have Obama saying he would lower taxes but if you want lower taxes you are “selfish.”

I believe Obi has become so arrogant and cocksure that it’s to the point where he’s actually mocking his own supporters. Think about it. He knows what he is (a hard core Marxist) and he knows he’s fooled them about it. So he stands up before his sycophants and says “oooh, they’ll call me a communist, oooh”, knowing full well that the idiots will laugh it off! He makes them the butt of his joke, to their faces, knowing full well they are too stupid to realize.... YES HE IS A COMMUNIST!

then guess what? Everybody starts spending that money, they decide maybe I can afford a new car, maybe I can afford a computer for my child. They can buy the products and services that businesses are selling and everybody is better off. All boats rise.

Trickle-up economics.

In fact, when no employers are hiring because their taxes are too high, no one's boats are going anywhere. Except straight down.

No one would have accused blacks sneaking north across the Ohio River to freedom in the 1850s of being selfish because they did not desire to involuntarily trade their labor for a small shack and enough food to keep them alive. Well, no one except for the plantation owners and their pet politicians.

My life and my labor are my own. Even if 99% of the country votes to chain themselves to the State does not give them the right to chain me too.

Sorry BO but wanting to keep the money we earn for hard work is not selfish, it’s called capitalism. You ought to try it sometimes since you’ve never really held a job that wan’t just handed to you.

" Obama continued. “You know I don’t know when, when they decided they wanted to make a virtue out of selfishness.”"

Easy come easy go. If you want a man to eat for life you teach him to fish, you don't feed him like a helpless baby bird in a nest for life unless you want to cripple him and make him dependent.

– when young people can all go to college, when everybody’s got decent health care, when everybody’s got a little more money at the end of the month – then guess what?

Then this Harvard Law grad cannot distinguish wishful thinking from reality --that's what.

This is the kind of dewy-eyed thinking I'd expect from an eighteen-year-old psych major, not a grown man.

OK, maybe I'd expect this kind of thinking from a grown man who's never worked an honest job.

Freedom means picking and choosing your charity.

Bondage means being forced by gun point/jail to have income extracted for the purpose of contributing to a wasteful bureaucracy and meeting the basic needs of SELFISH and irresponsible individuals.

Good government means taxing “the people” strictly for the purposes of which is enumerated in the Constitution (Sorry, the founders idea of the general welfare clause is vastly different from today's misguided interpretation).

Obama is promoting a repressive State and tyranny, now that is what I call selfish.

The socialist argument fails to realize that the inability of some to grab the “brass ring” is a MOTIVATION issue, not a money issue. Giving them more money for nothing exacerbates the problem.

When Democrats realized they were losing the civil rights battle, they created welfare which in the end produces the same result - oppressed peoples, The One calls them.
