“John McCain and Sarah Palin they call this socialistic,” Obama continued. “You know I don’t know when, when they decided they wanted to make a virtue out of selfishness.”
The NERVE of me to want to keep most of the money I work hard for and earn everyday....why I’ve been fooling myself this whole time and so selfish!! Bad serf, bad serf...I shall give myself 20 lashings and decrease my tax deductions to give more to my savior, Obama! He has shown me the light.
Ronald Wilson Reagan “ Government’s view of the economy, could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it.If it keeps moving regulate it. and if stops moving subsidize it.”

This does not have the full effect without hearing him say it in the tone he used. If you could provide a YouTube video link, that’d be great.
The socialists pushing for a state income tax in Tennessee said the same thing; that the vast majority of us who opposed an income tax (well over 85% of Tennesseans) were just selfish.
I challenged ANY of them to bring in their 1040 and compare it to mine. If they gave more to charity in dollars or percentage of gross income than me, I would give them $100.
There were no takers.
You deserve the right to translate your hard work and success into whatever you want. If you want to get 50% or 5% to charity you should be able to do that. If you want to choose your charity you should have the right to do that.
The more you give to the government the more you give to crackheads and other undeserving people of charity.
