On Sunday, 9/20, Obama went on his latest media blitz to push his failing agenda. During one interview, George Stephanopoulos reads Obama the definition of "Tax" from the Merriam-Webster Dictionary. His Majesty does not like it. Will the Merriam-Webster dictionary now be considered racist?
originally found here: Stephanopoulos and the Merriam-Webster dictionary are RACIST!
Now we know what ‘change’ means.
He will ‘change’ the meaning of words ...despite the truth.
I don't need a dictionary for this, but if the press wants to remind people, I'm all for it.
You know old Noah Webster (Dictionary) and the founders of America are the enemy of leftists.
Lie, 1. An untrue statement intended to deceive. 2. Anything that deceives or gives a false impression..Websters Contemporary Dictionary.
The Bible was Americas basic textbook in all fields. Education is useless without the Bible [Noah Webster. Our Christian Heritage p.5]
President Goose-egg seems to think that words mean only what he wants them to mean.
From HR 3200:
What the bill says, pages 167-168, section 401, TAX ON INDIVIDUALS WITHOUT ACCEPTABLE HEALTH CARE COVERAGE:
(a) TAX IMPOSED.In the case of any individual who does not meet the requirements of subsection (d) at any time during the taxable year, there is hereby imposed a tax equal to 2.5 percent of the excess of
(1) the taxpayers modified adjusted gross income for the taxable year, over
(2) the amount of gross income specified in section 6012(a)(1) with respect to the taxpayer. . . .
EVALUATION OF THE PASSAGE:
1. This section amends the Internal Revenue Code.
2. Anyone caught without acceptable coverage and not in the government plan will pay a special tax.
3. The IRS will be a major enforcement mechanism for the plan.
I find it amusing that the MSM is focussing on the Baucus bill in this regard, yet the same tax is included in the House bill. There is also a similar tax levied on businesses that don’t provide acceptable health care coverage.
Obama thinking right now “Shoot! I really should have included ‘new dictionary’ in the stimulus package.”
how did George just happen to have a dictionary there and thought to look up the word before hand???
Was this a set up between him and Obama and Obama just screwed it up?
Merriam, racist. Webster, not so much.
