Grammy award-winning rapper T.I. told CNSNews.com that President Barack Obamas plan to raise taxes on people making $250,000 or more a year will help create jobs. He also said that people well off have a responsibility to help the poor, through inspiration, work and direct financial assistance in some cases.
When asked what personal responsibility he thinks rappers have today, T.I. said they have to help those who cannot help themselves. -snip-

The Obama/Pelosi/Reid plan to take trillions from the American producers and giving it to the stupid, the lazy and the ignorant can only destroy our economy.
I was going to say Total Idiot but Totally Ignorant works as well.
Could not agree more!!! Let him help his people “down in the hood”....I just bet they are discussing the economy!! Please...give me a break!!! The probably cannot even spell the word...
I bet someone has to pay to see his concerts.
“people well off have a responsibility to help the poor, through inspiration”
Work hard! I do. Now, are you effectively inspired?
Now that’s a reputable source — a future jailbird.
Enjoy your year behind bars, Clifford.

I can’t help myself either when I laugh at this drivel.
They think the economy is their inner prisoner.
Fascinating. I had no idea that Paul Krugman had quit his day job.
better off that TI share some of his millions with those that cannot help themselves unless his words are being couched that the gov’t owes reparations and that is what he is truly referring to.
How much is TI contributing to the cause?
I have laid off two employees based on the threat alone.
If he follows through, I will lay off another one. Why do these clowns act like they are all economists? Shut up and rap!
My 85 year old Aunt, who lost her eyesight to Glaucoma at age 25, worked in a clothing factory sitting at a sewing machine in the 1950’s. Now we have people “on disability” begging the President for free housing.
As I saw on a bumper sticker when visiting family in MS, REPUBLICAN, because everybody can't be on welfare.
No, just shut up.
Lyrics to Ludacris' Obama rap song, "Obama Is Here":
"Hey... I'm back on it
like I just signed my record deal, yeah the best is here
The Bentley Coupe paint is drippin wet, it got sex appeal
Never shoulda hated, you never shoulda doubted him
With a slot in the President's iPod, Obama shouted him
Said I handled my biz and I'm one of his favorite rappers
Well give Luda a special pardon if I'm ever in the slammer
Better yet put me in office, make me a Vice President
Hillary hated on you so that bitch is irrelevant
Now Jesse talkin slick and apologizin for WHAT~?!
If you said it then you MEANT it how you want it, head or gut
And all you other politicians tryin to hate on my man
Watch us win majority vote in every STATE on my man
You cain't stop what's 'bout to happen, we 'bout to make history
The first black President it's destined and it's meant to be
The threats ain't fazin us, the nooses or the jokes
Get off your ass black people it's time to get out and vote
Paint the White House black and I'm sure that's got 'em terrified
McCain don't belong in ANY chair unless he's paralyzed
Yeah I said it cause Bush is mentally handicapped
Ball up all of his speeches and just throw 'em like candy wraps
Cause what you talkin I hear nothin even relevant
And you the worst of all 43 Presidents
Get out and vote, or the end'll be near
And the world is ready for change cause Obama is here
YEAHHH! Cause Obama is here
The world is ready for change cause Obama is here
Yeahhhh, cause Obama is here
Say world is ready for change cause Obama is here
Hey!
