JOE WURZELBACHER, “JOE THE PLUMBER”: Your new tax plan is going tax me more, isn’t it?
OBAMA: 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 to success, too. I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.
I bet ole’ Warren Buffet doesn’t believe in spreading his wealth to Joe the plumber or Brian the blogger. This is leftist liberalism at it’s best.
“Spreading the wealth around” is the same as “Government Welfare”. I understand that Mr. Obama wants everyone have a chance at success, but sometimes you have to work hard for that success, just like “Joe the Plumber”. It shouldn’t be the governments responsibility to fund joe publics rise to success.
Yeah, Obama just set himself up and blatantly let us know that even if you’re sitting on your lazy bum, the government’s going to reward you no matter what. What happened to the simple life lessons our parents taught us? If you want something, you work hard for it.
