RULE 2: “Never go outside the expertise of your people.” It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone.
-Saul Alinsky
‘The common man eloped with history and ran off to the United States of America. Mr. Jefferson and his friends reinvented politics. Mr. Ford, Mr. Rockefeller and Mr. Carnegie took it from there.’
Eric Hoffer
You don't have to be a rocket scientist to recognize that “O” is absolutely out of his f'n mind!!
By Obama’s logic, North Korea should be the richest country on the planet, with a long line of Mexicans trying to cross the border.
What a putz.
“We’re successful because somebody started the University of Michigan. [Students (usually) pay tuition for their schooling — CAPITALISM WORKS] We’re successful because somebody made an investment in all the federal research labs that created the internet. [People buy internet service and companies sell advertising to pay for the internet — CAPITALISM WORKS] We’re successful because we have an outstanding military that costs money [I gladly pay taxes to support the military]. We’re successful because somebody built roads and bridges. [Roads are built and maintained through gas taxes which all consumers pay for in the price of goods and services — SPECIFIC CONSUMPTION TAXES WORK AND ARE VOLUNTARY] And laid broadband lines and these things didn’t just happen on their own. [The opportunity for profit caused people to invest capital in broadband. Don’t want broadband, don’t subscribe — CAPITALISM WORKS] And if we all understand that we’ve got to pay for this stuff, it makes sense for those of us who’ve done best to do our fair share and to try to pass off that bill on to somebody else [When 47% don’t pay anything in income taxes, who’s passing off that bill to whom???], that’s not right. That’s not who we are,” [Unfortunately we’ve become a nation of producers and looters. The producers are getting FED UP] he said.
Fair means everyone pays the same thing
Less Fair means everyone pays the same rate
Theft means 47% steal from 53%
Obama doesn’t want to say that people remain poor because of government.
Remember him trying to take credit for the natural gas/oil boom the other day? “A little nudge from government ...”.
This command economy bass-turd and his cronies have done everything they can to throw up stumbling blocks/cripple efforts to make us less oil-dependent on his muslim buddies, and he has the sheer effrontery to claim credit for the success of this private enterprise.
I'm getting a little SICK of someone else telling me what THEY THINK is 'my fair share' of anything!
Right now, 'my fair share' is close to 50% not including PROPERTY TAXES, GASOLINE TAXES, SALES TAXES, LICENSES & FEES, etc., etc., etc.....
He’s right, but not in the way he thinks...
In process of becoming rich, “rich folks” usually make a lot of other people richer, too.
This reminds me of Mr. Clinton’s definition of being alone.
According to Mr. Obama, you receive a degree from the University of Michigan and you’re all set!
My father became a successful doctor because he worked for it - not because someone granted him the success.
OMG.
He left out man’s greatest inventions; the on-off switch, and the mute button.
It is so refreshing to have a President that has such a strong faith for the people, their ability and the society as a whole. Oh wait, was that not what he was saying?
In a division of labor and free society, one person's gain is not only not other people's loss but is other people's gain.Both in their origin and in their use, great fortunes are source of gains to everyone who participates in the economic system.
But such fortunes originate in innovations that result in the earning of a high rate of profit on capital, almost all of which is constantly reinvested, so that the high rate of profit rapidly compounds. The fortunes emerge as the sum of the reinvestment of these compound profits over a period of many years.
didn’t this POS have Steve Jobs wife at his propaganda rally on Tuesday night???
The idiots brain cells are dieing off faster than expected.
You can stuff your roads, infra structure and everything else. I take my FREEDOM.
Obama wants to help us all the way to the poor house.
Lord protect me from those who wish to do me good.
Does that mean that The Government is going to issue all of us our own personal Tony Rezkos?
"Obama gonna get me a Tony Rezko!"
