Read the story and then there three questions following (just like in reading classes in grade school).

Fox News cameras were there and captured the conversation (which is now all over the Web) between a self-employed plumber named Joe Wurzelbacher and Obama.

More taxes?

Wurzelbacher explained that by working hard (10-12 hours a day) he was in a position to buy a business. If he bought a truck and expanded the business, he wondered if his success would be greeted by a penalty in the form of higher taxes.

“Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn’t it?” Wurzlebacher asked.

“It’s not that I want to punish your success,” Obama explained. “I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they’ve got a chance for success too. My attitude is that if the economy’s good for folks from the bottom up, it’s gonna be good for everybody … I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”

1) Mr. Wurzlebacher is a success because he started a business and worked hard. How does Obama propose "everybody who is behind you" to acheive success themselves?

2) When he talks of spreading the wealth, who's wealth is he spreading and to whom is he spreading it to?

3) Who would approve of this action from the government most; Thomas Jefferson or Karl Marx?

Mmmmmmmm...... Sounds like Obama read Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto. In fact, they share some VERY similar ideas, minus the fact that Karl was poorer than dirt because he would ONLY accept intellectual jobs during Industrial England. Doesn't seem that way today.... Well, it won't be after Obama gets elected. I'll be able to sit at home, get my school paid for by the government, and get wealthy off of someone else. Of course, he supports the public school system. I didn't become a conservative who has been taught strong family values from going to public school, I'll tell you that. Good grades and using your brain come from homeschool. Shocked

This brings up what scares me the most about Obama's tax plan. My wife and I are well below the $250,000 income figure so we are supposed to get a tax break. That's good. However, we both work for small businesses that will be hurt by that same plan. That's not so good. There are millions in the same boat. What good will a tax break do us if our employers go under or are forced to lay us off?

What this means is that if a pipe breaks in your home and need a plumber, he will have to raise his prices to cover it. Hello inflation.

My gawd the people who buy into this class envy crap dont realize for a moment that they are waging economic war against themselves.

Bump back to the libs. Don't want to talk about your savior fast-tracking Socialism into this country? Want to keep your eyes, ears, and mouth covered?

Maybe OT and FFF and the gang can start a new group:

"Obama supporters for inflation - keeping the poor and middle class in check so that increase in the minimum wage does them no good."

Lets see with Bush/Paulsons requests we have socialized/nationalized the insurance industry (that they used the taxpayer money to go on a luxury Retreat Rolling Eyes ), the mortgage industry, the Banks, and now they talk of nationalizing the auto industry and you wonder why some folks want CHANGE Say what?

Keep telling me how well these Bush/McSame policies have worked...
Repubs have had control of Congress for 12 of the last 14 years- including 8 years of Bush control - 6 of those with a rubberstamp Repub Congress----and where have things gone Say what?
Into the Sewer- ala Hoover, in the worst recession/depression/economic implosion since the Great Depression and you guys have balls enough to say you want 4 more years of it.... Say what?
