(CNSNews.com) - President Barack Obama says Democrats "don't want to tax all businesses out of business."

"I know that there are a few Republicans here in the audience," Obama said Friday at a fundraiser for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign in Palo Alto, Ca. "If you talk to us, it turns out we're pretty common-sense folks.

"We don't think government can do everything," he said. "We don't think that top-down solutions are the right way to go. We believe in the free market. We believe in a light touch when it comes to regulations."

How about taxing the politicians and charging them for their failed policies, like Obamacare premiums skyrocketing?

Obama did not say we don't want to force any business to fail. He did not even say we don't want to force many businesses to fail or most businesses to fail. He didn't say we don't want to make it more difficult for businesses to succeed. He did not say we do not want to threaten businesses and extort money from them.

He said “We don't want to tax ALL business out of business.”

No. Just most. The remaining businesses must bow down in submission to the government or get taken over by the gov.

This is satire, right?

No we just want the government to take over most businesses just like Karl Marx said we should.

Not all. Just most.

Not even most. Just any businesses that do not kowtow to King Barry and that do not embrace (and bend over for) the Socialist policies of King Barry and his Socialcrat Party. After all...he DID mention rewarding friends and punishing enemies. Every now and then, albeit rarely, a glimmer of truth does shine through all of the BS, lies and propaganda from the leftists.

"We believe in the free market."/i>

Also known, in ObamaSpeak, as "trickle-down, you're on your own" economics.

Ignore the words. Watch his actions. If you believe what he says you deserve what you get.
