Obama Fields a Question About Small Business Taxes

By Daniel Miessler on October 15th, 2008: Tagged as Election 2008 | Obama | Politics

This is some seriously good stuff. I really wish I could talk to that guy and find out if he’s going to vote for McCain still.

My latest observation is that greed, which most of us have, is one of the main reasons this country is screwed right now. But at the same time, I don’t like giving my tax money to programs that don’t work.

I’m all for spreading the wealth, but not if it’s going to some idiot getting their hair and nails done every week or putting it into their car’s appearance. If the government is going to step in and spread the wealth for society’s benefit, then the money that’s being re-distributed needs to be used for things like school, books, computers, and other long-term, potential-raising items–not crap.

Anyway, I digress. Here’s the video.

Forced redistribution of wealth through taxes or any other means is not right or for you Paul supporters, a Ron Paul endorsed concept. Anytime you take money from someone with more income and give it to someone with lower income that’s a simple version of collectivism and/or my opinion a beginning of a socialist economy.

You worry about people getting money to get their hair done or upgrade their cars? That’s what’s already happening with Welfare money. I was in Wal-Mart just the other day. A woman was using her food stamps to buy milk, bread, eggs, etc, but then had an entire buggy full of other junk food. Sodas, junk food, expensive cereals, etc. Why is it there are people who make too much money for food stamps, but they struggle some months to buy staples? So if these people would just make less money, then the government would give them a free handout and they’d have enough to buy their ‘wants’ as well as their ‘needs’.

I will never vote for Obama because he supports this redistribution you mention Daniel. And frankly, I’m shocked that you are all for “spreading the wealth”.

I had not seen this video before, but I do have this to say. Obama is a great leader! That show why he deserves to be president. He actually acknowledged that he was lucky and his wealth did not all come from hard work. I was going to write in Ron Paul, but now I think that would be doing Paul and Obama a disservice.

Is Trojan really a good name for a condom company? The original was let in trustingly, released its dangerous payload, and chaos ensued.
