How can a guy who supposedly studied economics in college be “economically illiterat”?....sarcasm/off...
That decision is above and perpetually beyond his pay grade.
After all, we the taxpayers are paying for everything for him and his gold digging family.
He is going to make a play for the government seizure of people’s IRA’s and 401k’s.
Karl Marx would be so proud.
Like Howard Cosell used to say, "You can't have too much money."
Obama is the grasshopper in the old story about the grasshopper and the ants.
Well you are brilliant Obozo! I suggest you use that money you don’t need to buy the fuel you use when flitting around on Air Force One! And limit your flitting around on OUR Plane to the fuel you can afford. Obozo, can you say grounded?
Yeah, would like to know what he deems to be money we don’t need. Maybe we should all make a run on the banks and investment institutions, pull our money out and hide it in the rafters. I don’t trust this SOB as far as I can throw him.
The Democrats are doing everything that they can to hold back, control, hamper, regulate and steal from businesses and those who start, own and run them. Ergo they are doing everything they cab to destroy the economy.
And yet, his tax forms don't reflect that he used that money for any charitable purpose. We don't need the government to handle this, Zero, if you've got hundreds of thousands of extra money that you "don't need," there are plenty of charitable foundations to donate to. Write the checks. But let the rest of us decide what money we do or don't need, and keep your grubby hands out of our wallets.
I don’t see him passing out any of his millions, and you can bet Pelosi isn’t going to give up what she doesn’t need.
These people talk a good game, but look at the Millionair’s in the Congress.
They aint giving up squat———not out of their pockets.
Chaney gave away most of his money and kept his mouth shut and Obama keeps his and tells the world.
Growing up, my middle-class family, and many others knew there were limitations on what we could do financially. My parents didn't have a robust education, barely finishing high school. We knew deep inside however, that the system was there where if we worked hard enough, we could afford to better our lives. We knew we'd never be able to afford a country club lifestyle, a private college education, and fancy vacations. But we never expected other taxpayers to subsidize any of it, either. I believe that most people understand that, and accept it.
Obama however, is truly endorsing a collectivist' state where the government dictates the money any family needs, and confiscates the rest for the "common good" and to "even the playing field."
