WARNING: DON"T THINK IT CAN"T HAPPEN!
He is doing exactly what his wife said he would. She said some people were going to have to give up things when Brack comes into power, to paraphrase. The people giving up things are the productive, responsible people in society.
Kiss our 401Ks goodby. I’m thinking of liquidating mine.
Don’t worry the poor will soon be hiring.
The Dow closed at 6594 yesterday, heading for 6200 today.
All is well because there aren’t any ‘rich’ people left.
Liberals will defend Obama’s carbon tax by saying it’s vitally necessary to combat climate change, end our dependence on foreign oil and boost our embryonic green industries like wind and solar. Fine, fine. We can have that argument, as weak as I think it may be.
But why isn’t Obama honest about the fact that he’s asking the working poor and middle class to pay even more? He’s the guy who talks such a big game about shared sacrifice. He’s the one talking about a “new era of responsibility.”
We'll ALL rue the day this man was elected.
Shared sacrifice = Spreading misery equally
If the current economic crisis had been caused by drought, natural disasters, attacks from enemies or some other external cause “shared sacrifice” might make some sense.
However, this crisis has been caused by greedy, stupid, corrupt home buyers, lenders, investment bankers, bond rating agencied, and politicians.
This is not a time for “shared sacrifice” but a time for the guilty to reap the negative consequences of their bad behavior.
The innocent are already suffering a great deal of collateral damage from the actions of these evil doers. To ask them to sacrifice more to so the evil doers can avoid their just deserts is an outrage!
Also, if we are going to have “shared sacrifice” I believe it should start with the 40% of Americans who pay no Federal Income Taxes at all. The ACORN and union freeloaders who consume vast amounts of taxpayer dollars, while contributing little or nothing should start paying their fair share.
In the zero’s “new era of responsibility” you will be responsible for making your neighbor’s mortgage payment.
We are in the hands of looters. They are doing, under cover of “governing”, just what looters always do — grab as much as they can as fast as they can.
What Obama means is to not spread the wealth around, but spread the misery. In socialist states everyone except the ruling elites are equally miserable.
