Spreading the Wealth

I was recently watching Mike Huckabee on the FOX Network, when he had Joe The Plumber as one of his guest. Gov. Huckabee, during the interview, replayed the video of Joe asking Sen. Obama his question about "taxing small businesses". The plumber asked Sen. Obama: "Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn't it?" Joe the plumber proceeded to tell the senator that he worked hard as a plumber, and that he was planning on buying a plumbing company. He also told him that he was getting taxed more and more while fulfilling the "American Dream".

Obama in answering Joe, told him that the higher taxes he (Joe) would pay would be good for society. "My attitude is that if the economy's good for the 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."

I believe that Obama's recent "blunder", in admitting to a policy of spreading the wealth of people like plumbers, really tells us what he believes about economics. Please consider the Obama economic policy for a moment, and you too will realize that his policies on taxes, regulation and redistribution of wealth are able to be summarized in only two words--Marxism and Socialism. This latest blunder, has revealed that Obama seeks to re-make America in the fashion of socialist countries.

If we review Obama's comments in speaking to Joe The Plumber, I believe we will find that no one is safe, including those who work 10-12 hours a day trying to have a piece of the "American Dream". Who are those that Sen. Obama would redistribute the wealth to? Who are those he feels should have more, at the expense of those trying to work harder and be successful? I don't know about you, but I can't help but feel that if I have earned it, then it is mine.
