Obama vows to reduce income inequality (and economy)
American Thinker ^ | February 2, 2015 | Pedro Gonzales

Posted on 02/02/2015 3:21:34 PM PST by Reverend Saltine

The mark of a good work of fiction is one in which you accept one or two untrue things, but everything else has to be believable. That's a skill the dilettante agitprop writers at the New York Times seem to lack in an article describing how President Obama wants to reduce income inequality. Nothing in the article even remotely makes sense.

President Obama will propose a 10-year budget on Monday that stabilizes the federal deficit but does not seek balance, instead focusing on policies to address income inequality as he adds nearly $6 trillion to the debt. The budget — $4 trillion in fiscal 2016 — would hit corporations that park profits overseas, raise taxes on the richest of the rich and increase the incomes of the middle class through new spending and tax credits

I simply love that class warfare envy phrase, the richest of the rich! They're not merely rich; they're the absolute worst of the worst! The phrase implies that simply by having so much money, they have forfeited the moral authority to their own money! Good work, Dr. Goebbels!

Trillions more debt stabilizes the deficit?

“Trillions more debt stabilizes the deficit?”

This is the insanity of the radical left. Nowhere near logic. Obama pandering to his handlers.

It's very simple, and I've posted this many times before. The wealth gap MUST grow, or else we are contracting.

Example: You have $100,000 (congrats). I have $100 (poor me). The difference between us is $99,900.
By Obama decree, we MUST invest our money exactly the same. Let's say a 10 percent return.
After one year, You have $110,000. I have $110. The difference between us is now $109,890.

The wealth gap between us grew by $9,990, even when we are forced to invest the same exact way!!

Mathematically, the ONLY way to reduce this gap (as if that were even a desirable aim), is for our rate of return to be NEGATIVE... or for someone to take from you, and give to me. Both seem to be Obama and Liberal central themes.

To: Reverend Saltine; All
Thank you for referencing that article Reverend Saltine. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

The states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to resolve income inequality. So if Obama wants the feds to “fix” income inequality then he must do the following.

Lawless Obama needs to lead Congress to propose an income equality amendment to the Constitution to the states. And if the states choose to ratify Obama’s amendment then the feds will have the constitutional authority that they need to resolve income inequality and Obama will be a hero.

In addition to the Eight Trillion he has already added.

8T + 6T = 14T. A new world record. Good going Obama!

I make it a point to take my morning Obama before I click on Drudge or FR in search of the Latest Daily Pronouncement from The One.

If I don’t, my insides get all twisted up, making the Obama a more painful experience than hearing The One’s voice or gazing upon his image.
