Obama says: Spread the wealth around

In Ohio (Where I am currently living) this weekend, BHO was asked by a local plumber:

"Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn't it?" the plumber asked, complaining that he was being taxed "more and more for fulfilling the American dream."

You need to carefully parse the response BHO gives:

"It's not that I want to punish your success. 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.

Now, this in itself is fairly disturbing. He thinks the government has a role in making sure 'the people behind you' have a chance for success too. Now, we can only infer he intends to do this by raising this guys taxes. Why? Well, he says he does not want to 'punish' success..(the is an implied 'but' there) I just want to make sure....

So, basically he is saying, :I don't WANT to punish you -- but, I will."

The really scary part comes next, again from BHO:

I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."

Really? Well - I agree that spreading the wealth IS good. BUT -- I would prefer that the market, free enterprise, initiative, hard work, creativity, etc, result in this spreading.

BHO, though, believes the TAX CODE should do the spreading. Take it from the producers, and give it to someone else. This is a spreading alright, a spreading of BS. I re-read my copy of the Constitution again tonight (you should do so once in a while, it is very enlightening) to make sure I did not miss that part about the Government being empowered to execute this kind of wealth transfer. Sure enough, no matter how many times I look - it is NOT there.

This all reminds me of a very famous quote:

From each according to his ability, to each according to his need

It is attributed to Karl Marx, written in 1875. And is one of the foundational principles of a wonderful system known as COMMUNISM. I have called BHO a socialist in this blog before. I guess I was being too kind to the Messiah (not my words, but those of another beacon in the black community, Louis Farrakhan) because BHO is apparently harboring Communist ideals in that pointy head of his.
