"Thats the kind of balance you need," said Geithner. "Why is that the case? Because if you don't try to generate more revenues through tax reform, if you don't ask, you know, the most fortunate Americans to bear a slightly larger burden of the privilege of being an American, then you have to -- the only way to achieve fiscal sustainability is through unacceptably deep cuts in benefits for middle class seniors, or unacceptably deep cuts in national security."

So we finally have the full picture of Obama’s world view.
We know it is a privilege to be an American.
But closer to Obama’s liberation theology, he believes Americans have an unfair advantage not enjoyed by the rest of the world and we must be punished for it. He believes the world playing field must be leveled. In his mind, there are two ways to bring this about. Deem the rest of the world to be equal to American citizens with an equal say in our govt. as he is bringing about with his immigration policy. Or make Americans pay for their advantage.
To make sure they are burdened for centuries, triple the debt so that it will take generations for Americans to pay it back. Why should the rest of the world have to suffer? Americans must be made to pay. Steal money through the Fed and give it to the world banks and Soros. Americans will pay for it. Limits need to be placed on American resources. We can’t be allowed to use our own oil resources. Limits need to be placed on our freedoms. The Constitution can no longer be followed. Only democrats in govt. shall rule. Limits need to be placed on American’s possessions. Any extra money shall go to pay essentials and taxes nothing else. Any advantages Americans create by their own hard work need to be taken and given to the rest of the world. It is only fair since it is obvious that America with all it’s advantages needs to share with the world, by force as it seems necessary.
After all, from each according to his ability, to each according to his need. The United States has the ability. The rest of the world has the greed, I mean need.
Treasury Secretary Tax Cheat Timmy Geithner is just laying out the beginnings of what is to come. First the “rich” pay taxes for the privilege of being American, but in the end, we will all be paying. Except for the democrats, they never pay.
“the most fortunate Americans to bear a slightly larger burden of the privilege of being an American,”
If being an American is a “privilege” then we should surely limit voting to those that pay for that privilege.
What is asked of the cell-phone, flat-screen, 2-car owning poor for the privilege of sitting on their ass while being supported by the other 50% of the population that actually pay taxes to support them.
How about if Geithner, Rangel, Sebellius, Franken and the rest of them just paid their taxes? Then maybe Geithner would not need to raise the taxes of honest people who pay theirs.
