Obama thinks there is a point where you’ve made enough money

We’re not, we’re not trying to push financial reform because we begrudge success that’s fairly earned. I mean, I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money. But, you know, part of the American way is, you know, you can just keep on making it if you’re providing a good product or providing good service. We don’t want people to stop, ah, fulfilling the core responsibilities of the financial system to help grow our economy.

Oh well. I didn’t really need all that money I earn anyway. I’ll just keep “fulfilling the core responsibilities of the financial system to help grow our economy” and let Obama decide how to spend what I earn. It’s not like I have a family to provide for – that’s the government’s job – and my family has to be equal to everyone else’s, right? That’s fair. Fair for Obama’s Wall Street buddies, teacher union buddies and trial lawyer buddies that helped him to get elected.

Like we found out during the campaign, Obama likes to spread YOUR wealth around. Especially to people who vote for him.

  1. I think that Obama’s election proves how the old media still has enormous impact on the general thought of the public in America. I personally know solid Christian businessmen that voted for the guy, when it was OBVIOUS to me that he was, at *best*, a European style socialist, and at worst a flat out marxist in disguise.

    These fooled Obama voters didn’t have the information about his infanticide support and his ties to marxist and socialist radicals.* Unfortunately by the time some of that information trickled out, the media had already sold America on the “historical” bill of goods, so dissent was probably just considered noise by such people.

    I have never seen so many smart people become stupid, as I did in the 2008 election. Statements like the one he made about making enough money show a fundamental paradigm shift in how the office of the presidency views private property. We cannot get this guy out of office fast enough.

    *Note that I’m not absolving these people from their own responsibility; they could have EASILY found this information out if they had sought it from anywhere except the major three television networks.

      Holy mackerel. That’s exactly who SHOULDN’T have vote for him. I agree with you that Christians have a responsibility to learn about these things. I read David Freddoso’s book, for example. Was that so hard? People put more effort into making money than they do into seeing how their worldview works out in real life.

  2. Yeah man, I agree. I was flabbergasted when I discovered who I knew personally that voted for him. Fortunately that does not include my wife or parents. But the one person I’m thinking of absolutely should have known better.

    I know one person who owns his own business and has done so for well over 30 years. He actually convinced his employees to not vote for Obama. Yes, there is a potential problem when a “boss” discusses politics with your staff but he was able to do it without pissing anyone off. Plus the facts spoke for themselves (these people he convinced weren’t liberals, just non-political people who were fooled like so many others).
