Grammy award-winning rapper T.I. told CNSNews.com that President Barack Obama’s plan to raise taxes on people making $250,000 or more a year will help create jobs. He also said that people well off have a responsibility to help the poor, through inspiration, work and direct financial assistance in some cases.

When asked what personal responsibility he thinks rappers have today, T.I. said they have to help those who cannot help themselves. -snip-

That’s a good sticker line. At least his vehicle won’t be trashed unlike the blue city I live in.

How much is TI contributing to the cause?

A year in prison on weapons charges. Clifford Joseph Harris Jr. -- a convicted felon -- tried to buy some machine guns in a parking lot in Atlanta. It was a setup and the man came down hard on him. Instead of going to the BET Awards, he spent the night in jail.

Clifford agreed to a one year sentence after completing 1,000 hours of community service. As part of the community service, he is helping underprivileged youth on a reality show on MTV.

I wonder if he's looking for his hero, 0bama, will pardon him first.

Well let’s see now. I can see a lot more repo-men will be working than ever before. Social services will be booming and hiring....until the money runs out and the economy completely melts. Used car salesmen will have plenty of work since nobody will be able to afford to be a NEW car. But if you’ll notice, none of these leftist idiots have mentioned or asked what was in the Spendulus bill that would help small business owners and entrepreneurs. That’s because there ISN’T anything in the bill for that. Just more feeeel-good leftist BS. Same DemocRat chit, different DemocRat day.

That was classic.

I can't recall ever asking advice from a con.

How do you starve someone who is on welfare?

Hide their food stamps in their work boots.
