Hussein code for further empowerment of a failed socialist dream by demanding that the serfs pay more or suffer the tax extortionist at the door. I raise my leg to salute the HO.

To put it bluntly: the more I hear them talk, the more ammunition I purchase. And judging from what I have seen in the stores recently, I have a good deal of company.

It never ceases to amaze me that Stephanopolus has to define for Obama what he “meant” to say like the Muslim religion comment.

He said “everone’s going to gave to give...to have some skin in the game”. I wonder, does he mean that the 45% of the electorate who currently are exempt from paying federal income taxes are going to have to ante up? I surely doubt that.

My lib friend wants a “90” percent tax on folks making 150,000 and up.

I've got one of those where I work. When I pointed out the fact that taking 90% of the profits out of the company this brain dead lib moron WORKS FOR would leave NO money for HER salary she got a really blank look on her face.

"Well, they'll just pass a law saying it has to come out of HIS salary."

"What about MY salary?" I asked. "My compensation is commission on the sales I make. If they government is going to take 90% of what I make, why should I bust my ass to see that YOU have a f****** job?"

No answer. None.

We have reached DeToqueville's tipping point.

That would be me. Perhaps your friend would like to see a picture of our home and of our cars. We're about as middle class it gets. Maybe your friend imagines I have piles of money stuffed under the mattress; I only wish. But raise my taxes to anywhere near that level and I promise I will stop working, as will many of us, if only because rebellion requires time and effort.

History is clear cold and uncompromising. Anytime some politician starts talking about "the Common Good," make sure you have a good hold on your wallet. And don't hold your breath waiting for the Common Good to get any better.

Not even sworn in yet, and we’re on our way to “malaise.”

I was kind of thinking that “Soylent Green” was implemented for the greater good. I have no doubt in my mind, with 0’s views on the murder of innocents, that this would be something he could have passed without a second thought.

If these sixties Lefitist wannabe “revolutionairies” aren’t careful, they’re going to see a REAL revolution — from the Right. And it ain’t gonna be pretty.

You might start with the weighty contradiction that everyone sacrificing makes everyone better. To what end? The end is absolute government control. The idea that a central authority can dictate to you what the "greater good" is and what you should sacrifice to achieve it illustrates the key feature of Marxism--the leadership of the few (the Party) over the proletariat (you) who don't know what's good for you (false consciousness--bitter clingers) and cannot be trusted to make free decisison for yourself.

In fairness, it was Stephanapolous who used the phrase “The Greater Good” in asking the question. Obama answered, “Yes,” but those weren’t Obama’s words.

Now, do I think for a millisecond that Obama wouldn’t use that phrase if he thought he could get away with it? No, not at all. He is a Marxist and “the greater good” is the scam Marxists work.

Will somebody please take the time to explain how these statements and objectives precisely define MARXISM?,

It is a typical marxist statement which suggests all people, except of course Obama and some members of his administration, are required to give up their freedom in order to serve the state. The way for the for things to get better is for government to sacrifice and get the f*ck out of the lives of everyday Americans.
