Obama's Global Tax

Election '08: A plan by Barack Obama to redistribute American wealth on a global level is moving forward in the Senate. It follows Marxist theology — from each according to his ability, to each according to his need.

We are citizens of the world, Sen. Obama told thousands of nonvoting Germans during his recent tour of the Middle East and Europe. And if the Global Poverty Act (S. 2433) he has sponsored becomes law, which is almost certain if he wins in November, we're also going to be taxpayers of the world.

Speaking in Berlin, Obama said: "While the 20th century taught us that we share a common destiny, the 21st has revealed a world more intertwined than at any time in human history."

What the 20th century really showed was a series of totalitarian threats — from fascism to Nazism to communism — defeated by the U.S. military. Hitler's Germany, Mussolini's Italy, Tojo's Japan and the Soviet Union offered destinies we did not share.

Our destiny of peace and freedom through strength was not achieved by a transnationalist fantasy of buying the world a Coke and singing "Kumbaya."

Obama's Global Poverty Act offers us a global socialist destiny we do not want, one that challenges America's very sovereignty. The former "post-racial" candidate obviously intends to be a post-national president.

The tax will be bad enough, but for a real chill, look at what will become of our Second Amendment rights.

Prepare for the blue helmets to knock at your door.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.

This needs to covered widely. I can’t believe that even a die-hard liberal would really support this. If it were explained how much money it would cost THEM personally. And if they still think it’s a great idea, they need to personally donate to these third world country’s corrupt dictators. The $$ will not reach the people that are in need. We already contribute massive amounts of money.

I read that the HOR didn’t really understand what they were voting on???? So they voted anyway???

This can’t be within the Constitution (like that matters anymore).

(Thank you..I will now return my soap box to the closet.)

You bring up a good point about immigration policy, birth control (condoms, the Pill and abortion) and the unitended consequences of 1.9 children.

If all of your breeders are not educated and from 3rd World countries, refusing to assimilate and continuing the madness from their native lands...you are right, the conservative is doomed.

The Globalists want to be in the ruling world party, doling out food, fuel and resources as they deem “fair”.

What working person, black or white, would vote for Barack Hussein Obama? What sane person?

Where in NBC or CBS on his global tax? (silence)

"I don’t remember the author, maybe it was Kroushev, who said the USSR, Communism, will hang us and that we will sell them the rope."

That was Lenin, I believe who said that they would hang the capitalists with the rope they sold them.
