I've said repeatedly that Obama lies as easily as he breathes. More proof of this has been self-evident in his "giving 95% of voters a tax-cut." (Only I guess its not as self-evident as I would like it to be - because liberals are stupid and do not look at facts when their Messiah speaks.)
But here's the thing. The bottom roughly 37% of citizens do not pay federal taxes. So that means that under his plan only 58% will get a "tax-cut". Those bottom 37%ers will be getting PURE WELFARE. Stolen directly from the small business owners of America (87% of which fall in the top 5%.)
See if you are self-employed, and you run a business it is likely you fall into the top 5%. But that doesn't make you wealthy - not by a long shot.
But the bottom 37% that do not pay taxes would receive a check with monies in it taken directly from the small businesses.
But a word about the top 5% as well...
Small businesses create the overwhelming majority of new jobs. Taxing them additionally (in most cases raising their tax rate to over 40% according to Obama's plan) will cause them to RAISE PRICES and LAY OFF WORKERS. Thusly goods and services become MORE expensive for that bottom 95%.
Not a big deal to the lowest 37% because they have that new free money that grew on trees. But it directly squeezes the middle class into sacrificial territory.
In other words - Barack Obama is seeking to directly PUNISH the middle class by his bait and switch tax welfare program.
Which is why a self-employed plumber like this guy needed to ask the candidate first hand, "Why you punishing me for working hard?" To which the communist candidate responds in as marxian a tone as possible, "I'm trying to spread the wealth around..."

**OBAMA to self-employed plumber: “I’m going to ‘spread the wealth around’!”**
Not what a small-business owner wants to hear.
Obamanation is wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.
“The irony of Obama preaching socialist economics to a self-employed plumber astounds me.”

He is a cosummately unaccomplished, affirmative action, Ivy league lawyer/politician.
In other words, totally worthless except as an elitist empowered by political correctness, and class and race warfare.
I seriously doubt he could properly run a lemonade stand.
We can still hang in there with a lot of time on our knees praying.
It is a tax cut for the bottom 37%. They get a cut of the taxes you pay.
He will be defended in his false statements with this kind of thinking and play on words from the liberal media.
He's not preaching to democrats, either. He's preaching to the Republican middle class.
Why would democrats care about a tax plan? The majority doesn't pay taxes, they feed off them. They complained about the Bush tax cut doing nothing but buying a muffler, yet they say nothing about Obomas bogus promise to give every one a lobster in every pot.
Why would democrats care about people keeping their houses? Unless those houses are free, nonworking democrats can't afford to pay for them anyway, let alone pay the various taxes and upkeep necessary to keep them
Why would democrats care about free health care? They already have it through Medicaid and Medicare.
Yep. The power and the available cash comes from the Republican middle class. That's who he's preaching to. That's his target. The democrats are, as usual, the useful idiots who are following a preacher they think is the returned Messiah. They actually think he's preaching to THEM.
Anything else is stealing, extortion, confiscation and otherwise violates the seventh commandment. If any entity other than the government was doing it, it would be illegal.
Will Atlas shrug?
HEY BERRY! Way don’t you spread your wealth around first and we’ll see how it goes!
Is that the only thing our Founding Fathers did?
This election is an IQ test for America. If Obama wins the left will know america has been dumbed down and will swallow the socialist agenda. If McCain wins they will work for the next four years to dumb down the public further. SO they can nominate someone who’s further left to push their ideology. Their testing america to see how much of their ideology will be tolerated. Their nominees have gone further left every election.
Spread that wealth around. This is not a new idea on change.
“The starting point for Marxist philosophy, and the basis of Das Kapital, is the observation that, in general, the world revolves on a capitalist economy wherein people with money hire people without money to make things and provide services. Marx observed that capitalism is self-defeating and predicted that class distinctions would become wider and wider. He proposed that capitalism should be replaced with a system where work is performed for the common good rather than for money provided by a privileged class—in other words, he proposed communism.
He believed that virtually everything had to change, and he entertained little doubt that his ideal system could only come about by jettisoning everything valued by Western society. He further proposed that this new system should be implemented by means of a revolution at the grass-roots level of society, or the proletariat, as he called it.
Marx, like the 18th-century philosopher Rousseau, insisted that ideologies—in fact, the rules of culture and government in general—are formulated primarily to suppress the poorer classes and should be forcibly abandoned.
Like Rousseau, Marx believed that human nature is basically good and only becomes corrupted by “these evil institutions” of society. Unlike Rousseau, Marx did not see education as the solution; he envisaged social and economic upheaval. Where Rousseau had espoused individual integrity in his philosophy, Marx preached collective action and suppressed individuality. Despite his religious background, Marx had no use for formal religion; to him it was just more suppressive ideology in a different form, designed to keep the lower classes in subjection.”

The BIG shrug may still be coming, but the John Galts of the world have already been moving their productive enterprises out of the increasingly socialistic USA.
Where's the reward for hard work and effort? Taken up by the socialists to redistribute. Yeah, we're all equal, but some pigs are more equal than others in Obama's nation.
We need to pray he gets turned loose without a teleprompter more frequently in the coming weeks; every time he speaks off the cuff he gives us talking points to use against him.
In this case doing poorly on an IQ test could result in the loss of a city.
“Say goodbye to any incentive to produce.”
No kidding. Doesn’t Hussein get it? Why would we continue to work hard just so we can support lazy losers? Not gonna happen.
Hope it gets covered, but doubt it.
Socialism was waiting at the station and we just passed it. Where are we headed?
Now that The Marxist opened his big, fat mouth, I can finally say it:
“Spreading the wealth?” This is code. This election is about what every election is about and has been about since 1968 at the latest. Taking from “whitey” and giving to inner-city blacks.
Period.
Part of it is buying their votes and keeping them on the Democrat Plantation(tm). Part of it is (wait for it!) **revenge** and stoked racial hatred. Part of it is rubbing it in “whitey”’s face. Part of it is white liberals wanting to beg for forgiveness for the guilt they feel (don’t ask me why, who knows what goes on in their twisted minds).
Nonetheless, that’s what this is about, just like 2004, 2000, 1996, 1992, 1988, 1984, 1980, 1976, 1972, 1968, you get the idea. Taking income, wealth, anything they can get their hands on, and handing it over to black people (whether they need it or not).
Obama wants to spread the wealth around — from one SPECIFIC group of people to another SPECIFIC group.
Well, there are ways to fight back. I have two Mk. I eyeballs and am perfectly capable of choosing to do business at certain places over others — such as based on who they employ.
Call it racist — I don’t care. I won’t be robbed by a racist cabal without a fight. I’m the son of immigrants, I have a clear conscience, and I won’t be victimized by racist blacks.
