See video in his own words, unbelievable the brazen attempt to spin his spreading the wealth into something good.... In this video he lies to say he wants to give a tax cut to 95% of Americans but when only 50% of Americans actually pay tax, his promises cannot be true.. fuzzy math....
Does he explain that businesses pass on their taxes he promises to levy to on them to the poor and middle class, or else lay off their workers or move out of the country where taxes could be lower ....No,,, in the meantime, almost every press journalists has a tickle up their leg and dont see any of these discrepancies, does the press pick up on the fact that the poor and middle class will actually pay higher taxes passed on to them in the form of higher prices for consumer goods? No...
I don’t dislike Obama, it is his fascistic followers who represent the greatest threat.
This is just a little extra lesson in response to the ANNUIT COEPTIS image at the top of this post. – Origin and Meaning
of the Motto Above the Eye
Secretary of Congress Charles Thomson suggested “Annuit Coeptis” when he put together the final design of the Great Seal in June 1782.
He placed the motto at the top of the Seal’s reverse side, where its meaning is associated with the Eye of Providence in a triangle surrounded by light rays.
Thomson did not provide an exact translation of the motto, but he explained its symbolism: The Eye and the motto Annuit Coeptis “allude to the many signal interpositions of providence in favour of the American cause.”
“Signal” means unusual, notable, outstanding.
“Interposition” means intervention. (In this case, a divine intervention.)
Many leaders of the American Revolution felt that Providence had a hand in securing their Independence, particularly George Washington who often referred to the “smiles of Providence.”
“I salute you Gentlemen most Affectionately, and beg leave to remind you, that Liberty, Honor, and Safety are all at stake, and I trust Providence will smile upon our Efforts, and establish us once more, the Inhabitants of a free and happy Country.” (August 8, 1776)
“The many remarkable interpositions of the divine government. in the hours of our deepest distress and darkness, have been too luminous to suffer me to doubt the happy issue of the present contest.” (March 26, 1781)
“The Commander in Chief earnestly recommends that the troops not on duty should universally attend with that seriousness of Deportment and gratitude of Heart which the recognition of such reiterated and astonishing interpositions of Providence demand of us.” (October 20, 1781)
Translating ANNUIT COEPTIS
Annuit means to nod assent, to favor, to smile upon.
Coeptis means undertakings, endeavors, beginnings.
Annuit coeptis means “favors (lit., gives the nod to) undertakings.” The subject must be supplied. Who favors? The Eye (Providence) does.
The verb annuit can be either present tense or perfect tense, therefore an accurate translation of the motto is: “Providence favors our undertakings” or “Providence has favored our undertakings.” (The word “our” is supplied.)
(It has also been translated as: “He favors our undertakings” or “He has prospered our endeavors.”)
The meaning of this motto is better understood when seen in its original classical context.

On June 20, 1782, Congress approved Thomson’s design for both sides of the Great Seal, whose official description states:
“A Pyramid unfinished. In the Zenith
an Eye in a triangle surrounded with a glory proper.
Over the Eye these words ‘Annuit Cœptis’.”
NOTE: “Coeptis” is interchangeable with “cœptis.” That “œ” is an example of a ligature where two letters are combined into a single character.
“Annuit” does not mean “to announce” (which is annuntio).
Annuit Coeptis reflects the mottoes suggested for the third committee’s reverse side
and Ben Franklin’s suggestion for the first committee’s reverse.
Ask anyone with the slightest inkling of an interest in politics which party it is that’s in favor of socialization, and which it is that’s in favor of privatization and I’ll think they’ll be able to tell you which is which.
“It’s kind of hard to figure how Warren Buffett endorsed me, Colin Powell endorsed me, and John McCain thinks I’m socialist.”
Warren Buffet is a socialist! ROTLMFAO!!! Obama says he is not a socialist by holding up an endorsement from a socialist! What a maroooon!
Powell is a racist and an opportunist looking for a job.
Yeah, right. An opportunity to freeload, on my dime. That’s what I see.
Word smithing at its best! I would say stealing money from one to give it to another using the forceful coercion of the state is exactly “socialism”, not “opportunity”.

Here’s a tack that might stick to the boy wonder:
Socialism is slavery. If I do not fully control the fruits of my labor I am a slave.
How’s that fit, Barry?
We already ‘spread the wealth around’. It’s called a progressive tax rate.
i'd call that an opportunity for another democrat backed government program.... country wide welfare for the masses
otherwise known as buying democrat votes with our money
We are the land of opportunity because we are not socialist!
I don’t call it reparations, I call it a tax-break.
I don’t call it reparations, I call it a tax on the rich.
" . . . Warren Buffett endorsed me, Colin Powell endorsed me, and John McCain thinks I'm socialist."
Democrats call Republicans "the party of the rich," but that is quite untrue as can easily be seen by evaluating both the historical pattern of few, large contributions to the Democratic Party adding up to a smaller total than the many, modest, contributions upon which the Republican Party depends. And as can be seen in the pattern of voting for Democrats, wherein they win overwhelmingly in the cities, true - but they also win in the tony inner suburbs as well.The bottom line is that the Republican Party is the party of the middle class. Socialist politics is the conspicuous consumption by which the rich separate themselves from the middle class. The poor think, wrongly, to profit from socialism. The middle class knows that its income is the target, rather than the beneficiary, of "spreading the wealth."
If "Atlas Shrugs" it will not be Steve Jobs deciding he doesn't like taxes which in any event have no effect on how much he can spend. No, it will be more in the form of the disappearance of entrepreneurship in the middle class - when Joe the Plumber decides that the effort and risk of becoming a businessman just isn't worth it.
The Joe the Plumber incident - and the Democratic/Journalistic response - was damaging to the "spread the wealth" Obama campaign precisely because it revealed Obama's socialism and his contempt for the middle class.
