By now, everyone that reads The Minority Report on a regular basis has seen the clip of the plumber asking Senator Obama about his tax plan (clip at end of post for refresher). His remarks were very troubling.
“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.”
This type of a comment reveals Obama for the socialist that he truly is. As the Tax Foundation points out though, anyone who has paid attention to his tax plan would have known this already. They did an analysis of Senator Obama’s tax plan and created this chart to show exactly how much the wealth is being spread around:
Senator Obama’s plan puts a gun at the heads of those earning over $500,000 and forces them to simply hand their earnings to those who have not earned it. There is something very troubling about that concept. If this were not the goverment forcing those redistributions we would be filing extortion charges against the person(s) holding the gun.
They also point out one other bit of interesting information:
It is interesting to point out that while Obama talks about how his plan would benefit the middle-class, the plan delivers the largest benefits to two groups outside of the middle - households earning less than $30,000 and households earning between $100,000 and $200,000. Each of these groups would receive more than $40 billion in benefits, roughly 50 percent more than any group in the statistical middle.
Heh. Senator Obama’s plan would take money from the ultra high income group and distribute the majority of the benefits to those not even in the middle class that he pretends to care about so much.
Here’s the video of Senator Obama and the plumber:
If you have any reason to doubt why Obama would want to enact these plans, just remember this quote:
A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul. ~ George Bernard Shaw
