Spread the Wealth Around Joe
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.
