Obama and the Plumber

October 13, 2008
By 18 comments

Obama the socialist explains to a plumber why he will take the plumber’s money. “It’s not that I want to punish your success, but…..”

He went on to say we need to “Share the wealth.” That’s code for “income re-distribution.”

The plumber learns his trade, gets up early, goes to work, provides a much needed service to his customers and Obama wants to take his earnings and “share it” with others. Nice.

    And so we see the great devide, between the achievers and those that would call success getting an even break with some else’s money. Spread the wealth? What about spread the responsibiilty.

    Obama may be against deadbeat dads, but he doesn’t have a problem with being a deadbeat’s dad.

    At least he’s open and honest about being a socialist.

    The tax plan is only the beginning. Obama actually meant it when he said that McCain didn’t know what he was up against. Socialism in its ugliest shape is coming to America if Obama gets elected.

    And the worst part is that many people who will end up voting for Obama, wouldn’t know what they are really voting for. They don’t go to the sites like this one, they don’t read long data-rich threads, they don’t watch scary YouTube kids-singing videos. We keep going down in polls because people listen to the huge propaganda machine–and take its lies at face value. What we need is an arsenal of conversation changers. These attention grabbers that make an impact in 5 sec. And THEN those whose opinions still can be changed may start reading more. Obama’s side if excellent in this. They have pros working around the clock on all sorts of visuals that go straight to the emotions level, bypassing logic. Just take a look at this site know what I’m talking about: http://www.designforobama.org/.

    Can you name a single memorable anti-Obama poster that speaks to the center-leaning Democratic voter? I can’t. And to expose who Obama really is we need some of that. A new repository accompanied by a blog and a Facebook page are available to fill this gap. Please take a look–it will take you only a couple of minutes to form your opinion and decide whether you’d like to use it. Your comments and suggestions are more than welcome.

    thats the key Obama thinks he is the king.. in reality joe will have to fire people work less and make sure he makes 249,900.

    This is actually a blessing in desguise. That is, if Senator McCain takes this opportunity in tomorrow nights debate to hammer this “Community Organizer” Mr. Obama, and explain to the people exactly what he meant in that exchange with an average American trying to live the “American Dream”. He couldn’t have made it any clearer that his goal is the redistribution of wealth. And yes, as Gary says, small businesses will be doing thier best to keep thier profits below $249,900, and as a result we will probably see many small businesses being closed for income tax evation. He also made it very clear that the “those behind you” ie the “Lazy and Unfortunate” should reap the bennefits at the expense of those who actually go out and work for it. This 30 second video clip speaks volumes about Mr. “Robin Hood” Obama. Make no mistake. If Senator McCain does not call him on this, the US will slowly be transformed into Sherwood Forest in a few short years.

    This country better wake up and wake up FAST. This socialist pig and his racist wife…whos said in her college thesis (the one that they tried to keep sealed until after the election) that she would use all her future resourses to benefit the blacks in this country will ruin us within Obama’s term. All his little slips… “John McCain has not questioned my Muslim faith”…. “I have been to all 57 states I believe we have one more to go.” Last time I checked there were 50 states in America, there are 57 Muslim states in that coalition of Muslim nations, is America going to become the 58th Barak wants to visit. GOD HELP THE HARDWORKING SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS IN THIS COUNTRY!!!! I BEING ONE OF THEM WILL NEVER VOTE FOR BARAK HUSSEIN OBAMA. Yeah what we need is a democratic congress and a democratic president…PLEASE people of America wake up! CAn you say Wright… Aryes… Rezko?? PLEASE!!!! Makes me want to puke!

    All you people who want so be socialist under Obama should just move to a country that is already socialist and leave the United States of America to those who don’t want to be socialists. Oh yeah, I know why you don’t want to move. It’s because all those socialist counties don’t have the high standard of living that we do. But why do we have a higher standard of living? It’s because we are not socialist, at least not completely or openly. “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need”, was Karl Marx’s slogan. But when taxes are high there is no reason to “produce to your ability” because you do not benefit from it. Money must flow from those who have it to those who don’t. When nobody has money it stops flowing.

    People with lots of money are keeping it out of the country to avoid taxes. Obama’s plans will force those people move more of that money “off shore”. They will keep and spend their money where it will do them the most good. Taxes do not do them any good. If you want money from the rich, you need to give them something for it. For wage earners that means WORK!!! For businesses that means products.

    To increase wages there needs to be a shortage of workers. Inforcing imigration laws will do that. To keep jobs from being moved overseas there needs to be tarrifs on imports, like other counties do American products.

    Those who forget history are doomed to repeat It! (George Santayana). The consequences of the great depression lingered until WWII because of taxes. Obama’s redistribution of wealth will bring us into another great depression.

    So let me understand this, its not socialism as long as the recipients of government-sponsored wealth redistribution are banks and big businesses?
    Also I might be more impressed if Joe Whatsisname was really a plumber. He can’t own and operate a plumbing business in Ohio without a license.

    I think you are missing the point!Whether or not Joe is a plumber has nothing to do with the fact that what`s important is the question that was asked and the answer that was given. This story is now a few days old and now the democrats,displeased with the response they`ve gotten from Obama`s answer have chosen to try and discredit Joe by asking the people how many plumbers do they know who makes $250,000 a year?
    Well let me tell you democratic retards another way of looking at this! I was recently laid off due to the economy, working as a plumber(not licensed)for a guy who in fact does make $250,000+ a year! This will be multiplied by God only knows how much if these idiots raise taxes on small businesses!Vote American/Vote McCain

    Why in hell should Joe, after working his ass off to get where he`s at feel good about the struggles he has had to endure just so these clowns(Obama,Biden) can come along and say they want to make sure people that are behind him are successful too! Guess what, you socialist pigs, Joe got there without your wealth redistribution and so can everyone else if they are willing to work for it. Obama`s base are a bunch of lazy-ass whiners,too sorry to work who feel they`re entitled to something they haven`t worked for and don`t deserve! Our country cannot and will not survive by taking away the incentive to prosper. Why work your ass off? Let`s just sit on our asses and wait for the messiah to send us another check! At least until all the wealth is gone and the USA is totally bankrupt.

    Obama’s first, second, and third priority is to get elected. If that means pandering to large numbers of people who want a free ride, he’ll be happy to throw them a few crumbs as a way to get their votes. He will also turn democracy and capitalism on it’s head, and villainize the affluent and successful in our society, in order to rally the masses behind him. With evangelical zeal Obama will convince his followers to replace reason with hope and belief … to blindly follow him … never challenge him … and embrace his words as gospel. In the real, and unforgiving world of economics however, when you immediately gratify everyone by feasting on the goose that lays the golden eggs, the economy looses it’s ability to continue generating growth and wealth. Obama is promising everyone a piece of the pie, whether they helped bake it, or not … but, only in a socialistic, or communist state do the non-contributors demand to share equally in the property that belongs to others. Immediate gratification, and getting something for nothing, is like a drug to the malcontents, but in the big picture, every farmer knows that even if you get hungry, you never eat your seed crop … unless you want it to be your last meal. If Obama gets elected, America will turn into a third world country, with massive government welfare programs, unable to generate jobs for it’s citizens, and unable to compete in the global markets. Keep America safe, free and strong … elect McCain/Palin on November 4th.

    What ever happens do not forget to cling to your guns and God and drag as many McCain Palin voters to the polls as you can. May God help us if these clowns get elected.

    What has possessed so many of you? Why are you so full of fear and anger? Have you studied socialism? Have you studied capitalism? Do you understand what freedom is? True freedom is anarchy, so we have rules and we have guidelines. You say everyone who supports Obama is a victim of propaganda. There are, sadly, plenty of victims of propaganda on all sides. However, your idea that the success each of you enjoy is wholely due to your hard work is false. Hard work is a big part of it, and also your birth. How much money your parents had, what opportunities they were able to give you. The system is skewed in favor of people that are born with opportunities. The irony is while I’m sure all of you were born with some opportunities, I doubt any of you were truly born with a silver spoon in your mouth. Even so you fail to see that the system we have in place favors the rich getting richer. It has worked thus far, but it will not continue to do so. Prices are going to get higher, your quality if life is going to go down, and if those who enjoy the most success are not willing to shoulder a slightly higher burden, the noble history of the middle class which is the backbone of this country is going to shrivel up and die. Obama doesn’t want to reward lazyness, no one does, he wants to see opportunity for all Americans to better themselves, not just financially, but as educated citizens of this great nation, and also of the greater global community.

    Prefer McCain if you must, but stow your venom and your judgements. You judge without understanding. There are blind Obama supporters, but there are also Obama supporters who work hard, are successful, don’t mind paying a little more taxes if it makes a better future for all, who study history, and who look at the big picture of global politics.

    In your heart you all know this to be true. End the hate. Vote for who you want, but let’s work together to build a better future.
