Barack Obama has admitted the need to break his most celebrated campaign promise. Suddenly he is "agnostic" on increasing taxes for people earning less than $250,000. Nine years ago, as an Illinois State Senator, Obama criticized the Supreme Court for not removing a roadblock that forbids Washington to redistribute income. That roadblock is the United States Constitution.
Washington routinely redistributes income within American society. When Joe Taxpayer receives government benefits that exceed what he pays in taxes, the effect is what the Heritage Foundation calls a "distributional deficit." Joe's higher-earning fellow taxpayers must fill that deficit. "Each year, government is involved in a large-scale transfer of resources between different social groups." The very idea that human nature or any natural law would be allowed to control humans or nature nauseates progressives. For example, allowing markets to be free and the weather to do its thing are immoral. So then, government must make people and science play fairly. Steeply graduated taxation for financing that government constitutes noble robbery.

I always thought Clinton was a con-man, but he was a piker compared to this fraudulent Kenyan we have in the White House now.
Progressivism is a cancer.
Almost makes one nostalgic, doesn't it? Almost...
The arguments and logic presented in this article are enough to make any liberals head spin like Linda Blair’s in The Exorcist
I have no doubt that the porn photos on the web like this one are of Ann Dunham - Barack Hussein Obama's mother.
They were probably taken by Frank Marshall Davis - Communist thug, criminal, and left wing agitator.
Barack Obama looks exponentially more like Davis than he does his supposed "father" Soetoro.;
Given this past, I would not associate the headline "nobility" with "Obama" in the first paragraph.
Son of a whore would be more appropriate.
You can include Gramps Dunham in that group. Not only was he a Moscow-line commie when being one in the US was worse than leprosy but his resemblance to Zer0 is truly startling.
The more I have read about Marshall, the more more I believe he is really Barack Hussein's father.
The cheap strumpet is still the same - Ann Dunham.
I saw a documentary about Joe Louis last week, and the the doc detailed Louis’s problems with the IRS. Louis made millions but was hounded by the IRS for failure to pay hundreds of thousands worth of back taxes. Then the program mentioned that the government took ninety percent of Louis’s money off the top through taxes. Naturally Charles Rangell had to condemn America for mistreating Louis when it was his party who did their best to screw Louis through exorbitant taxes.
The picture you have is of Barack Obama, Sr., not Soetaro.
Soetaro was his adopted father, who looked (and was) Indonesian.
Agree that BO, Jr., is really Frank Marshall Davis' kid.
I’ve explained the failed govt programs to liberals any number of times. They are incapable of comprehending it. Basically they can’t think rationally on social matters.
You’re right, another poster pointed that out.
I meant Obama Sr. So, I guess Obama’s real last name is “Davis.”
Kind of funny. He doesn’t look so cool when he doesn’t have the African-Muslim names now, does he?
Especially when he helped the government through exhibition matches during the war.
The Joe Louis story is a sad example of nasty, Democrat-run bureaucracy at work.
