the left wanted the conversation to be about ‘greedy’ wall street CEO’s, not ‘ordinary’ plumbers. a lot harder to attack capitalism when it is represented by Joe the plumber.
When Obama or one of his mouthpieces talk about only raising taxes on those making over 250k, would someone PLEASE ask the obvious follow-up. “Since this will not raise enough additional tax money, what parts of government will you cut in order to pay for the programs you have proposed ... or do you think we should just add to the national debt?”
Will the Barber, are you out there somewhere? Does anyone at the RNC read this stuff? This is a point you should be hammering.
Spreading the wealth around is the same thing as spreading houses around. I too believe that every American should own their own home. However, I believe that they should come up with the down payment, closing costs, etc. And it should be a substantial down payment of at least 20 percent, in most circumstances. And I don’t believe they should get a discount fannie or freddie mortgage or a Friends of Angelo mortgage. Socialism fails every time it is tried. When you give people stuff, they just wind up resenting you for making them become dependent. Thank you Acorn, Bambi, Solomon Barnie Frank, Chris Countrywide Dodd and Kent Commie Konrad.
