You know the harder I’ve had to work for my money to get ahead the more I’ve come to resent the ideas of men like Obama. I’ve never been compelled by the ideas of the left when it comes to income redistribution. A friend today talking at lunch summarized my feelings pretty well. He and his wife are immigrants from India. They came to the US poor, they worked hard and now several years later they make a good income. He said said that the more that the government has stepped in the middle of when it comes to charity the more it has alienated people from one another. I believe he was right. Do we really need a government that makes it easy for anyone to stay employed at a department store or fast food restaurant?

What we need is a government that respects the sovereignty of the individuals who earn money and their rights to use it and their property as they see fit but interestingly enough consent seems to matter only when it comes to sex in the left’s world view. You can’t be trusted with your money or your property or even your opinion because they know better than you and are kinder than you. They talk about the right bringing up God and mixing it with politics but the difference is that THEY think they seem to think they are God. It is time to send them a message that they are not.

Socialism is their god. These people are truly evil.

Funny, that's kind of what the U S Constitution says. Too bad so few people believe in it anymore.

If he's going to raise taxes on those earning more than $100k, I wonder if that will include athletes and Hollywood stars. Would they continue to support him?

That is 180 degrees away from where the Dims are. Dims have so villified individualism, and have so beatified “group” at the expense of individuals, that to even make reference to an individual person is heresy to a Dim.

Thanks for your post.

The left believe they ARE God. They know better than you how to raise YOUR children, know better than you to spend YOUR money, demand that you surrender to their group think and surrender your GOD-Given sovereignity as a human being. However, when it comes to them, oh no, THEY want what’s “theirs.” (what they stole from you and me).

“they seem to think they are g-d.”

the problem is that they KNOW they are g-d.
