If income redistribution works...if tax and spend is a model for America...why is Greece a bankrupt basket case threatening to bring down the entire European Union?
A much more important question: Why is Greece, with a 45% income tax rate, a 23% VAT tax (national sales tax) plus a host of other taxes, still hopelessly bankrupt? Greeks pay up to 70% to 80% of their income to the government. Yet Greece is insolvent. With all those heavy taxes, it took $160 billion to bail them out only one year ago. Now they need at least another $50 to 100 billion. Why would Obama want higher taxes for America, when Greece proves the model doesn't work?
All those Greek voters elected socialist politicians because they promised fat pensions, free health care, and lavish early retirement. Now they face unimaginable poverty for years to come. So the lesson is that when politicians promise chocolate cake with no calories, they should be put in prison for fraud.
Perhaps Obama should go to Greek's socialist rulers and ask for advice before we wind up with our own Big Fat Greek Bankruptcy.
B E C A U S E:
"Everything Obama does comes straight from the most stilted and destructive clichés of the left. The man has never had an original idea in his life, and wouldn't recognize one if it were served up on a plate with arugula. He is intellectually locked in concrete." - James Lewis, HERE
Because Obama is trying to destroy us. Next question?
OCD rigidity in the White House
Why does Obama insist on a failed model?
Because it works, it results in the destruction
of the polis.
Chaos is the sea the socialist swims in.
The question answers itself.
BHO is one of the most succesful Presidents American has ever had.
Obama thinks giving 80% of your money to the government just isn’t enough
All true. But also, leftist utopians see every failure not as a failure of true socialism, but failure because the implementation of plan was faulty. This enables them to try again and again.
Obama is a dumb-a$$ con man who conned his way into Columbia, and Harvard with the help of some evil men.
Next....
BECAUSE HE'S A SOCIALIST. DUH!
Socialists, Communists and other Statists always think that even though everyone has failed in the past, THEY are the ones talented and smart enough to make it work “This Time”.
If their efforts weren’t so DAMNED dangerous and destructive, they would simply be fools. What they are doing threatens my country, my freedom and my way of life, so it is much, MUCH more than that.
The real reason is because they believe that the socialist model will work if only the right people (them) are in charge.
Someday the story will come out about how he got into Columbia and Harvard. It won’t be wrote by a member of the MSM; it will come from one of the British newspapers.
It is clear that the MSM has stories on Obama that makes him look bad and that if made public before the November 2008 election would have lead to his defeat.
And that my friend is why he needs to be removed from office. If not removed, made useless by Congress.
Obama thinks that a total collapse would somehow leave him and Moosechelle to melt and reform society into a shape that satisfies them. They fail to recognise the other option.
Don’t ya hate rhetorical questions (apart from this one)?
Thanks FreeKeys.
He is a Communist?
Like torches tar and feathers?
Why does Hussein demand the failed model for the US? Because socialism creates ignorance, incompetence and DEPENDENCY and these create Democrat voters!!
The man who wrote this article is smarter than most. He sees where the blame truly lies. Same goes for America. Obama didn't elect himself.
I believe that there is a long list of very large reasons, but at it’s cornerstone, there remains one basic motivation, racism. The bastard hates whites and everything our country has ever stood for.
