OBAMA FIRES A 'ROBIN HOOD' WARNING SHOT: says he WILL tax small business

McCain needs to jump all over this tonight

Indeed. This is something even an idiotic "undecided" can understand. Use Obama's own words against him, and let him stumble through explaining what "sharing the wealth" means.

[null and void]

Tax the rich, feed the poor
‘til there are no rich no more

I’d love to change the world
but I don’t know what to do

THAT’S RACIST

[CatOwner]

I sure hope so.

Of course, a future prez Obama cannot impose a new tax. He needs a willing Congress to do it for him. There are only a handful of Senators who would be likely to filibuster such a tax increase in a D majority Senate. I do not count the R nominee among them, should he choose to remain in the Senate.

>> I wish these folks would get past the Disney version of the story.

Even in the Disney version of the story, the villain is the tax man. People have misinterpreted this story for a VERY long time.

In the last days the Obama campaign will look like this:

[Purrcival]

Now, my friend, that would be mean spirited.

...not to mention racist.

THIS needs to be a TV ad that is run every hour from now until election day!!!! People need to go to the polls with Obama’s voice saying “spread the wealth” in their heads. They need to have the picture of that plumber in their minds ... “hey, he’s just like me”.

There will be a lot of dour newscasters on election night.

Maybe it will be worth watching CNN, just this once...

beat me by four seconds. :->

This jibes perfectly with that whacky answer he gave to Charlie Gibson concerning capital gains taxes during one of the democratic debates.

[dfwgator]

Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore,
galloping through the sward,
Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore,
and his horse Concorde.
He steals from the rich,
he gives to the poor,
Mr Moore, Mr Moore, Mr Moore.

"Wait a tic...blimey...this redistribution of wealth is trickier than I thought."

What I’d give to hear McCain call Obama an out and out socialist and his tax and economic plans pure socialism, but alas, knowing McCain, I will not hold my breath waiting.

There are only a handful of Senators who would be likely to filibuster such a tax increase in a D majority Senate.

The stated democrat goal is "a filibuster proof majority" in congress.

[mnehring]

O'Bambi's version.

[J40000]

The plumber dude should have retorted: “But THAT’S Socialism!”

And so should McCain.

I've long been bothered by the way the story of Robin Hood has been misrepresented as well.

In fact, one could say that the Merry Men of Sherwood Forest were one of the original Right Wing Militias...

"It's clear that his main goal is redistribution of wealth, not growth," said Andy Roth with the anti-tax group Club for Growth. "He's perfectly happy to destroy wealth as long as he can redistribute it."

Therein lies the problem. There will be nothing to redistribute, so we all will be equal.

[Fawn]

Yes, my friends...Obama would be a great President. ;)
