Obama Wants 'Price Signals' to 'Change Behavior' (video)
LGF ^ | 11/1/08 | staff

In an interview on Iowa Public TV in 2007, Barack Obama advocated sending “price signals” to middle class consumers in order to “change their behavior.”

“Price signals” being an Orwellian code word for punitive taxes and fees. And Obama doesn’t seem to care much who it would hurt.

There's a clip in which he basically says he will totally gut defense.
Tax increases start for families making $120,000.
He says that electricity rates will skyrocket.
He wants punitive taxes at certain price points.
His "tax refund" plan will hasten the bankruptcy of Social Security.
He has said that everyone needs to sacrifice.

He is a scary, scary man. I swear he wants to destroy us all.

I think Obama has watched Demolition Man too many times. Sounds like he wants to impliment all of the future devices:

He's got the role of government completely backwards in his mind.

He thinks we are the servants of government!

This is page 223 of the “new” Communist Manifesto.

Green = Marxism via Climate Change (formerly Global Warming)
which takes the false argument of man-made carbon emissions to force absolute control of all natural resources to the Government, who will dole out them as the seem “fair”.

Actually, "price signals" is standard economics language for the supply-demand curve.

He wants to mold and shape us in his image. Hamburgers will be very expensive - seaweed burgers - cheap.

As I posted on a similar thread on how his taxes would cause coal plants to go bankrupt:

Well, at least Obama admits that he understands the FACT that the power to tax is the power to destroy.

Remember when he told Joe the Plumber he didn’t want to “punish” him for his success?

No. He wants to DESTROY him.

Clearly, Obama has admitted, repeatedly, that he knows TAXES KILL. He intends to use TAXES to KILL the energy industry on the altar of Al Gore’s carbon credits.

Can you hear me now? Anyone?

0bama said that McCain was calling him a socialist because he shared his peanut butter and jelly sandwich in elementary school.

Nobody yet has pointed out that the problem is that 0bama wants to share MY peanut butter and jelly sandwich!!

Let’s put this in plain English.

He and the Pelosi Democrats, and their Propaganda media wing, want to control energy, thereby they control the means of production...

Got it? Get it, it’s called Communism...

Obama has also discussed his setting up and running a 'National Security' paramilitary.
