Video: Subject of Obama’s “spread the wealth” comment warns of socialism posted at 8:30 pm on October 14, 2008 by Allahpundit Send to a Friend | printer-friendly Oddly enough, he thinks The One plus a filibuster-proof Democratic Congress could mean serious redistribution. Get this man on the phone with Christopher Buckley, stat. Exit question: Has Team McCain put this guy in an ad yet or are we now relying on Neil Cavuto to do the heavy lifting?

Stop The ACLU —
The plumber that was asking about his business being taxed got a more honest answer than he expected, pure socialism. This guy has exposed Obama so simply. He should be a star in a campaign ad very soon. McCain, are you listening?

Plumber Who Talked To Obama At Rally Says He Wasn’t Impressed, Calls Him A Socialist
Say Anything —
Good stuff from Cavuto’s show. Background here if you missed it.
The thing about wealth redistribution is what it implies for future success. Say you’re a young person just starting out. You’re struggling a bit. Living paycheck to paycheck. So you jump on the wealth redistribution bandwagon. You sign up with Barack Obama so he can send you a check courtesy of those who earn more than you do and thus pay more taxes.
But what happens if, during Obama’s term in office, you find success? You move up in the ...
The American Dream: I Worked For That
Argghhh! The Home Of Two Of Jonah's Military Guys.. —
"Cavuto: You don't fit the gazillionaire model, but you are at the tax cut off that will be affected."
This gentleman is a plumber that has lived frugally, saved his money and is now making a move to buy a company to become a business owner for the first time. The "due diligence" on this business apparently shows that it will make just over Obama's "tax increase".
Cavuto notes, as I have, that some people see Obama as "Robinhoodish"?
This gentleman notes that the story of Robinhood was to take from the "greedy, corrupt rich" and give to the peasants. We aren't peasants or serfs in this country. ...
It's appropriate that Obama got tripped up by a plumber*
Jim Treacher's Blog That Is on the Internet —
It's appropriate that Obama got tripped up by a plumber* If you're trying to win a guy's vote, why would you tell him he doesn't deserve the money he's earned? Why should our friend Joe, who works hard and takes risks (in an entrepreneurial sense) and accepts responsibility for his own life, have to subsidize people who don't? Shouldn't he be able to decide whether or not he wants to give to charity? Shouldn't he be able to decide which ones to give it to? Who the hell does Obama think he is? And can we please stop pretending that the greatest community organizer since Jesus isn't a socialist? *'Cause he's the dirtiest presidential candidate since Nixon ...
"Spread the wealth"?

"Spread the wealth"? No thank you, asshole! I'd rather keep what I have. Did I already say I think Obama is a Marxist? I did? Never mind. (H/T HotAir) Posted by George Moneo at October 15, 2008 08:20 AM Comments Post a comment

He wasn't at all impressed with Obama's answer about spreading the wealth. This is from Cavuto yesterday: "That's the American Dream to me. You work hard. You're going to get what you want eventually. It's not going to happen overnight by no means, but if you work hard enough you will get it. I resent the government or Obama's plan to take more away from me." – Joe Wurzelbacher

Joe the Plumber
Stop The ACLU —
For those looking for Joe the plumber…here you go. Spread the wealth! Socialism: Socialists mainly share the belief that capitalism unfairly concentrates power and wealth into a small section of society who control capital, and creates an unequal society. All socialists advocate the creation of an egalitarian society, in which wealth and power are distributed more evenly, although there is considerable disagreement among socialists over how, and to what extent this could be achieved.“It’s not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody that is behind you, that they have a chance for success too.” Why doesn’t he just call this what ...

The Final Debate: The Morning After
Confederate Yankee —
The Final Debate: The Morning After So we had the final Presidential debate of 2008 last night, and folks on both sides are claiming victory... but what really "stuck" in people's mind? It may be a bit early to see what is going to resonate up until the election (or even if anything does), but what stuck in my mind is just how revealing Barack Obama's answers on domestic and economic issues were. His answers made it all the more damning when John McCain labeled Obama as "Senator Government." In a nutshell, Obama promises to cut taxes for 95% of taxpayers, while increasing various government programs. The freshman senator pitches an economic program that he claims will ...

More "I Am Joe the Plumber" Jimmie from the Sundries Shack is another Joe the Plumber. There are a lot of us out there, of all creeds, colors, and sexes. There's more good stuff about the JTP issue, and what it has to say about Obama's socialism, from Stop the ACLU. Here's a taste; more at the link: Uh-oh.
