I'm sorry, I don't care any more if it's politically incorrect, if it doesn't poll well, if it doesn't advance the conversation, if it's polarizing, I just don't care ... I watched the SoTU address (not live), and this guy is a hard core wealth redistributionist of the first order.
"Fair share", "shared responsibility", "shared sacrifice", "collective good", "even playing field" and on and on and on, these are ALL code words for wealth redistribution. If I hear one more comment about "the Buffet rule" and his friggin secretary, I'm gonna scream! It's a lie, an out and out LIE. And he knows it. Claiming the secretary of Warren Buffet pays 30% in taxes while her billionaire boss pays half that, at 15%. Crap, absolute crap. Titus has already parsed the difference between "labor income" and "investment income", and identified the reasons as to why the latter needs to be a lower rate, to spur on the economy. But even more than that, according to that rabid Right Wing source, the IRS, 97% of filers for 2010 paid 11.9% or lower in income taxes. And the bottom 47% of earners paid an average of 1.85% in income tax, a number made so low by so many that pay ZERO, or get monies back for a net gain. So if President Obama wants to REALLY make things "fair", then he has no choice but to ask congress to dramatically raise taxes on the poor.
And let me say the most controversial thing possible about an American president - he opposes the very premise of this nation, as founded. Period, end of story. He's on record as saying the Bill of Rights is inadequate, a quote: "charter of negative liberties, what the government can't do to you", when it should be a "charter of positive liberties of what the government must do on your behalf." Not to mention (although I will) that year 2000 Chicago NPR interview when he proposed that the Constitution is a fundamentally flawed document. Do you need know any more!? From that statement, to the Joe the Plumber moment of honesty, to Saul Alinsky, to Reverend Wright, IT IS ALL STARING US RIGHT IN THE FACE - this guy opposes the very premise of this nation. I can't stand the nice talk anymore (enter Newt's rising popularity). Barack Hussein Obama IS anti-American IF you believe in the idea of America as founded. Thus the desire, oft repeated by him, to "fundamentally transform the nation." The only logical conclusion one can reach is that he finds the nation fundamentally flawed - WHY ELSE SEEK TO FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE IT???
No thank you Mr. President, I'd prefer to fundamentally RESTORE it. That's the difference between the "change" you and I seek.
