Obunga would consider this, the tenth commandment, a negative right as it prevents the redistribution of wealth.

I suspect that he'd then go on to piously explain that the Ten Commandments weren't "written in stone," but rather were continuing to "evolve."

ROFL!!!

These pinheads couldn’t count pennies in a piggy bank much less find $32 trillion. There simply isn’t that much wealth out there.

If our tax system were not so punitive those trillions would be in the United States making jobs here instead of over there.

"... funds stolen by third-world dictators from their own citizens, or profits from illegal enterprises."

Hardly.  The biggest portion of the $32T is imaginary money that exists only in the minds of Reuter's story tellers,  I'd expect most of the real life money to be family assets of the record number of Americans we're seeing fleeing the US.
