Obama in his remarks to the Congressional Black Caucus was spouting his usual class warfare drivel when he said:
“If asking a billionaire to pay the same tax rate as a Jew – as a Janitor makes me a warrior for the working class, I wear that with a badge of honor.”
Wild Thing’s comment………
I am so looking forward to the day he is out of office.
When for twenty years you sit in a Chicago “church”, listen to Jeremiah Wright rant on about James Cone’s Black Liberation Theology with all its Marxist anti-American and anti-Semitic garbage, get married there, and have both your daughters baptized there, it all stays in your mind and sometimes it just pops out:
“If asking a billionaire to pay the same tax rate as a Jew – as a Janitor makes me a warrior for the working class, I wear that with a badge of honor.”
This is an American president talking in 2011, dividing his own people, and inciting class envy.
We still have 14 months to go of this, and it’s going to get ugly, very ugly.
Barry, of course is no sort of warrior at all. He starts wars true, but then “Leads from Behind” throwing unlead people in to fight them and goes elsewhere. This is the same strategy as Franklin Delano Roosevelt during his terms. It only works when you have competent leadership to step in. In FDR’s case Gen. George Marshall and the War Production board when called stepping in ending the Great Depression and countless others stepped up to win WWII and save the country. In Obama’s case US Special Operation Forces just needed time to do their jobs and Leon Panetta protected them from Washington REMFs to buy them that time and they got Osama bin Laden.
The two big problems with this system of “Leading from Behind” is that first we hire a President to lead, that is the job that is paid for and second men who have no leadership ability often surrounds themselvs with people who summarily lack leadership.
In Obama’s case there is also a distinct drop in IQ in rooms when Obama’s people enter.
Buffet doesn’t earn income, he earns capital gains and the tax rate for capital gains is lower than the rate for earned income. I wonder what salary his secretary makes; nobody has questioned that. I would venture to say his secretary is one of the evil rich making over $250,000 per year.
Nikita Kruschev would have loved obama. Maybe obama will start pounding his desk with his shoe while demanding an end to capitalism.
Love all your comments so much, thank you.
