Socialist Obama Tells Ohio Supporter He Wants to "Spread the Wealth"
Gateway Pundit —
So... Can we call him a socialist, yet? Obama told a plumber in Ohio this weekend that he wants to spread the wealth: Obama was confronted by a plumber in an Ohio neighborhood, this weekend. The man asked Obama, "Why do want to raise my taxes? My business makes more than 250k a year." Obama told him he needed to "spread" the wealth to those who don't have what he has. It looks like all of his Marxist friends, the socialist lectures he used to go to in New York and the socialist New Party that he ...
Spread the wealth, swallow the crap sandwiches

http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/10/13/obama-plumber-plan-spread-wealth/comments And a comment there- So what if wealth is redistributed? Why is it a top few are super rich and the rest of us have to struggle. I would LOVE to see those making more then $250,000 a year taxed at 50%. Does that sound high? WAKE UP people! These rich are so rich that even if you took 90% they would still be super rich! I am so sick and tired of the rich and big business screwing the little guy. Lets tax big business at a 50% rate instead of giving them tax breaks. If a company goes overseas hit em up at 75% tax. In a country as super reach as America, why are only a few people living the ...

You can’t spread wealth that’s running away
Sister Toldjah —
Back during the campaign, then-candidate Obama famously told an obscure plumber that he wanted to “spread the wealth” around a bit, that it would be good for the country overall to take more money from those who are successful and give it to those who aren’t. Tito dug up the video from the archives. I’ll wait while you go watch.
And there you have Progressive economics in a nutshell: government is a better arbiter of wealth distribution than the market and, in the name of fairness, government decides when you’re too much of a winner and how your “excess earnings” should be deployed. Hence, higher taxes on the wealthy (however ...
The Glenn Beck Week That Was: The Slavery Edition

I got nothing.
It’s not for a lack of trying. I responded to Glenda Beck’s rallying cry during Monday’s show opener, “If you think this country is great, but corruption is bringing us down, stand up, get a pencil, and follow me!” With video.
I did him one better. I grabbed a pen because I wanted a permanent record. Besides, us elitists don’t use pencils.
That explains why I have copious notes this week, but why they don’t make sense. It’s as if Beck’s reading my mind when he says off the top of the show, “Things don’t make sense.”
“Nobody is asking questions.”
Nobody but Beck, that is, ...
