I am selfish, and Barack Obama says so

Paint it anyway you want to.
Another 'Who is John Galt' moment.
The essential truth is that you want to take someone else's money not for more research on Parkinson's, or discovering how and why cells commit suicide, or for way to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities wit no collateral damage, but to give that money to someone else.

We all know what that is.

Obama's New Attack on Those Who Don't Want Higher Taxes: 'Selfishness'

October 31, 2008 10:58 AM

On the stump this week, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., has pushed back against Sen. John McCain's description of his tax policies.

"The reason that we want to do this, change our tax code, is not because I have anything against the rich," Obama said in Sarasota, Fla., yesterday. "I love rich people! I want all of you to be rich. Go for it. That's the American dream, that's the American way, that's terrific.

"The point is, though, that -- and it's not just charity, it's not just that I want to help the middle class and working people who are trying to get in the middle class -- it's that when we actually make sure that everybody's got a shot - when young people can all go to college, when everybody's got decent health care, when everybody's got a little more money at the end of the month - then guess what? Everybody starts spending that money, they decide maybe I can afford a new car, maybe I can afford a computer for my child. They can buy the products and services that businesses are selling and everybody is better off.

lenin q1.jpgThe best way to help people into the middle class and above is to identify those who will work for it, those who have the need for and want more education, AND THEIR CHILDREN, and then to give them the path to achieve that end.

Giving people a check does NOT make poor people middle class.

Giving them a way to go from technician to MSEE WILL ABSOLUTELY.

With every word, with every further justification and explanation, Sen Obama is explaining very accurately who he is and what he believes.

He doesn't want to take our dreams in order to protect the nation from enemies foreign and domestic, he wants to take our dreams for ourselves and our children in order to DIMINISH them for a check to others ...who will never achieve theirs that way.

He really believes that to hold to the American dream for yourself and your children, IS SELFISHNESS.

I AM SELFISH
Oh and by the way....

spent more time as a POW

The scum-sucking idiot is changing the definition of charity. Charity is a willful and voluntary donation driven by compassion. He's talking about taxes, which are not voluntary.
I give more to charity in one year than Biden and Obama give in five years and I make a lot less than they do.

Yes, Samenokami, I saw Bill O'Reilly interview Obama, and Bill said something like, "Isn't that socialism?"

Obama said, "No, it's just being neighborly."

I accidentally spewed beer through my nose when he said that. No, it isn't, Obama! When I voluntarily give to my neighbor, that's being neighborly. When you take my money against my will to give to my neighbor, that is called something else. Uh, robbery?

Oh, I'm selfish, all right. This little family of two is trying to save enough for retirement so that Mr. AOW and I don't have to go on the dole in our senior years. Assuming, of course, that we make it to our senior years.
