President Obama's Tax on Soup Kitchens

Majority Leader's Office ^ | Sept. 14, 2011 | Eric Cantor

[RetroSexual]

I used to think that Obama and his underlings were pure evil; masterful manipulators of a nation of clueless sheep. But lately, I'm trending toward the opinion that these people are unbearably stupid.

[Gaffer]

These people aren’t stupid; they’re lazy and slothful. They are perfectly willing to downsize ‘their’ economy if it doesn’t require that they actually work.. Deaf Ears here....

[demkicker]

Ditto! It’s time SNL get in on some of this action - these dimwitted Dems are impossible to resist making fun of!

[healy61]

They are not stupid. They are well fed. Pigs get fat. Fat hogs go to the slaughterhouse. It’s the way of the world, and the poor don’t even get the squeal from the hog.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Does Obama think so little of the GOP that he would actually expect them to jump on this Scroogesque bandwagon?

This is a move that’s out of touch with everybody, Republicans and Democrats alike.

[Sarajevo]

It goes to show what a pig obama really is.

[healy61]

When Paul wrote to the Galatians he recalled that Peter, James and John told him to remember the poor. That was what he intended to do. I will do the same, whether Obama wants to tax me or not.

[HiTech RedNeck]

How about a luxury tax on foods that only the rich consume?

[Winstons Julia]

Great. But see, if you make it painful for good folks to be charitable, then there will be less charity and more people that depend on the government.

[RoadTest]

I don’t believe it! This has to be a joke.

“It just defies logic as to why we would want to put up a disincentive for people to give to charities, especially when so many people are in a desperate state in our economy,” Cantor told CNSNews.com

This is one of the reasons I have my doubts about Mr. Cantor. Either he really doesn't understand what motivates the Obama administration, or he does not have the cojones to call them out.

This one ain't rocket surgery folks. In their supreme arrogance, Obama and his minions genuinely believe that they are more capable of determining where the need is and how much money to give each and every individual agency than the rest of us. They know that a tax on charitable giving will decrease charitable giving. Thus the agencies and the people they help will become even more dependent on the feds.

And as an extra added bonus, they think they will decrease the number of churches when their funds dry up. Yeah, right.

[nhwingut]

Hey. Might as well demagogue the demagoguers. LOL!

[b cool]

I do agree, this is an attempt to further slide people to depend on the socialist government for thier support...to abondon hope in the Church and in God.

Bummy-Boy is scum, although we all knew that already.

[bronxville]

What day did he tax?

[bronxville]

Why does Obama hate poor people?

[BfloGuy]

This is beautiful! Eric Cantor's a genius.

The libs always whine the we "frame the issues" better than they do. Well, it's baloney. This time, though, Cantor's really gone and done it.

The Soup Kitchen Tax. Just brilliant.

[BitWielder1]

He does not want YOU to give to charity, he wants to take your money so HE can feed the homeless so they will vote for him.

[SoldierDad]

Obozo wants to tax charitable donations to organizations dedicated to helping those in greatest need of help? The only possible outcome would be fewer and fewer donations to said organizations. I must muse as to just what goes on inside that empty head of his? He can’t seriously believe this is a good idea!

[NoNAIS]

Has anybody seen a copy of the “Jobs Bill” - I’d like to know what it says.

[FrankR]

obama uses "taxes" and "regulations" like Chicago thugs use "protection rackets" and "terrorism"...to control their "subject".
