On Wednesday, President Obama argued that not raising taxes on certain households is a "giveaway." On Thursday, Jay Carney repeated and defended the term.

He’s a Marxist pure and simple.

Anyone who chooses to believe otherwise has a severe case of “Emperor’s New Clothes” Syndrome.

Carney is a puppet and represents the view of the Regime like Baghdad Bob did for Saddam Hussein. Of course he couldn’t even say that Jerusalem is the Capital of Israel.

Taxation is theft.

This follows earlier speeches where Barry talked about reducing “spending in the tax codes”. In other words in areas where they were not taking more money from business that was “spending” they wanted to cut. This was in relation to “big oil” taking normal deductions.

The deceit in the language of the left is stunning.

As a small businessman, I’m going to add some things to my inventory:

Tar
Feathers
Rails
Pitchforks
Torches

I’ll clean up!

All money rightfully belongs to the government.

You and I may have no doubt about what they are but the mob of morons that infest the local newspaper’s reader forum can’t seem to grasp the simple concept of ownership. The depths to which class/wealth envy has driven the conversation about taxes is just astounding to me.

I am more and more convinced that the left's attitude is that everything you make above and beyond what you would get as lone hunter/gatherer (not even a member of a tribe) exists only because of society and therefore belongs to the government.

Agriculture? Belongs to the government.
Herding? Belongs to the government?
Pottery and weaving? Belongs to the government.
And don't even think about industry.

If you get to keep anything above what you could get hunting deer with a rock, then that is a gift by the benevolent lords of government to one of their loyal serfs.

So, what Obama was saying was:

“All of your monies belongs to me!”?

Very Baghdad Bob... And very WRONG!!!

The way I understand Barry’s comment is that his concept of taxation is different from the commonly held view. In the common defn we have agreed w/ the govt that we’ll give some part of our property to them. The idea of private ownership is in force....its ours to give by mutual consent. His view is all your property belongs to the govt and for now they’re letting us keep some of it, ie no private ownership. So, this isn’t taxation as we all think of it. To be fair I suspect most pols in DC and the various state houses share Barry’s view. They’re just no unpolitic to say so in public.

I need an explanation. The writer agrees that most small business owners have incomes < 200 or 250K. Then in the next sentence he says that most small business profits will be taxed at the higher rates. What am I not understanding here. This sounds like doubletalk.

I'd say he is more like a Maoist in mindset.

Obama is the most rigid ideologue to head a country since Mao starved his country with the "Cultural Revolution" and Pol Pot emulated him in Cambodia, even Lenin was pragmatic when necessary.

The only thing holding him back is the need to be re elected so he can consolidate implement the ground work he has laid in his first term to “his fundamentally change the United States”.

He has been telling the truth about his intentions all along, it's just that most don't grasp his meaning of “fundamentally change” When Obama thinks of change, he thinks of the Cultural Revolution and his administration has been putting in place most of the pieces to impose his high tech version of the Cultural Revolution on this country.

Yep.. I’ll bet Zero was one of those college students who had a Mao magnet on this refridge.

the clueless mindset of these people is just amazing. The last 100 years taught most people that too much governmental power is not just scary, it leads to slaughter.

they are children and they government by pure emotion and zero logic. after all, it’s just a matter of fairness that we should “spread the wealth around”...

children...
