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?

| 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."
