Yeah, if he believes in spreading the wealth, why does he still have any wealth?
How much did he even help his OWN brother living in poverty?
Hey, Liberals!
Spread YOUR wealth around.
Great T-Shirt
No. That's not how liberalism works. They share everyone elses wealth. There's is totally off limits.
Imagine the number of health care policies Obomas 4 million dollar home could buy.
Less than the Palins who make considerably less money than The Hussein-Obamas.

Obamas’ Tax Returns Show Donation Spike

Senator Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, sharply increased their charitable donations as Mr. Obama began to run for president and the family’s income increased from book sales, according to tax returns that the couple released on Tuesday.
Some of the largest donations went to the Trinity United Church of Christ, whose pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., has been in the news for inflammatory messages in his sermons, causing Mr. Obama to distance himself from Mr. Wright, his former spiritual mentor.
All told, the couple gave $27,500 to the church in 2005 and 2006.
Although the campaign has not released the couple’s 2007 return, it has said the Obamas gave $240,000 to charity in 2007. This compares with charitable donations as low as $1,050 a few years ago.
The information is from seven years of returns released on Tuesday. In general, the returns show a couple whose income rose sharply as Mr. Obama left the Illinois legislature and his teaching position at the University of Chicago law school for the Senate.
The bulk of that increased income was from royalties from Mr. Obama’s books, including $1.2 million earned in 2005 from the re-release of “Dreams From My Father” and $551,000 in 2006 from “The Audacity of Hope.”
In 2004, before going to the Senate, the Obamas reported $207,647 in taxable income. That compared with an overall taxable income of $1.6 million in 2005 and $983,826 in 2006. As a United States senator, Mr. Obama earned $157,082 in 2006.
