The “Messiah” has just proclaimed anyone making more than 250K must be punished

Satire, but just barely.

“Look, $250,000 is a lot of money,” Obama pointed out. “No one really needs to make this much money, least of all a plumber. It just inflames envy and greed. It’s time everyone pulled together for the common good. For this to happen, some will be called upon to make sacrifices so others can have a taste of the good life.”

So Obama, I have a suggestion. Why dont you and Michelle donate back everything you make over $250000. And while you are at it, why dont you give up those 30 minute commercials and donate the money to building homes for the homeless, or feeding a whole bunch of people, or give half of what your campaign raised to bail out Wall Street..which would greatly decrease the amount the taxpayers would have to spend.
Oh thats right...thats YOUR money...silly me ..you just want MY money.

Good one but don’t give them anymore ideas.

Your stuff is unfair. You gotta make it just a little less believable for us rapid readers.

Tell that to your friends in Hollywood and Congress, they make obscene amounts of money! Make them donate to the cause, Obama! And what about you? You easily make 10x more than Joe the Plumber!

Hilliary added, "We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."

...oh wait.

Did Obama really say nobody needs to make $250,000? Since when did working hard and making a lot of money suddenly become a bad thing? That is one of the founding principles that have made our country great. Anybody can come up with a good idea and become rich.

On Nov. 4 say no to socialism - vote McCain/Palin

Jeez John, I even got to the second paragraph before you got me, i read the part about “...least of all a plumber...” and started getting grandiose ideas about Dukakis in a tank moments.... For crying out loud...keep it up!

“Look, $250,000 is a lot of money,”

For a business with 24 employees, that would be $10,000/employee and $10,000 for the owner if there were no other expenses. Note that Obama referred to revenues, not profits, in his answer to JTP. I don't think $10K/employee is a lot of money. Does anyone else here think that?
