They want to talk about arrogance

Found on the Obama Mania Website MSN.com

In our society the states that have death penalty laws are much more prone to put a killer on death row if they find out the killer has been bragging about his crime. We have a city full of politicians who commit the most outrageous crimes against our society, economy and our constitution and now they have the nerve to lecture us on arrogance.

It is not that I want to say I told you so, but, I did tell you so and you elected the socialists anyway.
In my writings of Oct. 23rd I pointed you to the article on workforce.com House Democrats Contemplate Abolishing 401(k)Tax Breaks.

Before I point you to the latest in this saga I just want to paint a very ugly picture of the future of the markets if this continues to go forward and becomes policy and law.

You do not have to dig very deep to find the problems with Obama’s tax speeches. Here is one of the reasons we must not send back the same ole Senator and Congressmen, taking back either or both houses of congress is just as important as the White House this year.

According to his statements on the campaign trail and in the debates, he is going to cut taxes. He states he will be cutting taxes for 95% of Americans and he promised a capitol gains tax cut for small business (what small business pays capitol gains taxes, they pay income taxes), among other things.

Article on WorkForce.com House Democrats Contemplate Abolishing 401(k) Tax Breaks.

Powerful House Democrats are eyeing proposals to overhaul the nation’s $3 trillion 401(k) system, including the elimination of most of the $80 billion in annual tax breaks that 401(k) investors receive.

House Education and Labor Committee Chairman George Miller, D-California, and Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Washington, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee’s Subcommittee on Income Security and Family Support, are looking at redirecting those tax breaks to a new system of guaranteed retirement accounts to which all workers would be obliged to contribute.

Oh how lovely a brand new and additional tax and social security program.

Interesting how a situation can get twisted around depending on who is telling the story. Joe the plumbers question was simply that if he buys a business that makes $250,000 a year (not known if that is gross or net) that he would pay more in taxes under Obama’s plan. Not that he currently makes $250,000 a year personally. That is not even the staggering part; the horrifying yet oh so enlightening part was the answer to the question. Of course there was the usual tap dance around the issue but when push came to shove and Obama realized Joe was not biting (just look at the expression on Joe’s face) he got the answer no one else has been able to get. In over 50 years of socialist liberal / social engineering “progressive” tax policy, not once has a democratic candidate for high office actually admitted the goals of liberal tax plans. To tax one group and use the money to buy the votes of another i.e. “spread the wealth around”. Our so called “progressive” tax policy does exactly what Obama admitted it does, punish the success of hard working entrepreneurial minded individuals in order to reward others for their loyalty to the party in the voting booth.

I think this video of the exchange between Obama and the plumber says it all.

Just in case you don’t understand what is says. It says that you need to work hard, save, invest and make good choices, then, Obamaman is going to take it away and give it to his constituents that have never worked a day, made all the wrong choices and could not care less about a job.

I beg to issue notice to Obama, if you punish those of us whole actually make this economy work, then we will no longer have an incentive to work, as we will no longer reap benefits from our work. If you give to those who have not worked, and you do not teach them the value of work, they will never have a reason to better themselves. Karl Marx would be Obama’s biggest supporter: From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.

At what point are people going to wake up and realize socialism, Marxism, and communism have failed everywhere they were tried. If you try to redistribute wealth to those who have not worked for it from those who have, you actually do level the field. Everyone is standing out in a field of poverty.

Governments do not engineer, they do not inovate, they do not produce, they do not cure, they drain!
