During his NAACP speech earlier this month, Sen. Obama repeated the term at least four times. "I've been working my entire adult life to help build an America where economic justice is being served," he said at the group's 99th annual convention in Cincinnati.
For the unwashed, non-participating, Joe six-pack let me explain what the messiah is offering, unadulterated socialism. Economic Justice, are you kidding? So, I make more money than you because I went to college and spent four years busting my ass while you rat holed up in your mommy’s basement drinking beer and inventing bongs, this is unfair? Enter John Stossel; “Give me a break”.
Among other Obama edicts from the mount are;
• "Universal," "guaranteed" health care.
• "Free" college tuition.
• "Universal national service" (a la Havana).
• "Universal 401(k)s" (in which the government would match contributions made by "low- and moderate-income families").
• "Free" job training (even for criminals).
• "Wage insurance" (to supplement dislocated union workers' old income levels).
• "Free" child care and "universal" preschool.
• More subsidized public housing.
• A fatter earned income tax credit for "working poor."
• And even a Global Poverty Act that amounts to a Marshall Plan for the Third World, first and foremost Africa.
His new New Deal also guarantees a "living wage," with a $10 minimum wage indexed to inflation; and "fair trade" and "fair labor practices," with breaks for "patriot employers" who cow-tow to unions, and sticks for "nonpatriot" companies that don't. (Source IBD)
Pretty damn ambitious, even for Obama the messianic. So, let's take these one at a time shall we. Someone show me in our sacred constitution where your right to healthcare, paid for by your neighbors, is enshrined? Didn’t think so.
Free, guaranteed college education? Ditto response, there is no free, colleges will be paid and guess what taxpayers, the government doesn’t have a damn single dime, they produce nothing. What they do have is the ability to throw you in prison if you fail to pony up what they have decided is your fair share of the burden. Therefore, let’s stop this free descriptor right here, right now.
Universal 401K’s? Didn’t Bush try to privatize Social Security and the democratic response was, “it’s not broken”, apparently our Lord God Obama thinks it is. And, look, insomuch as free job training for criminals; they get that in prison, they learn how to be better criminals.
Wage insurance? Isn’t that just another term for unemployment insurance, which, by the way, we already have.
And lets make this perfectly clear, you women out there, married or unmarried, you’re free to pop out as many crumb crunchers as you want, yet, it is your, “and your spouse/partners responsibility to take care of them, incur all of the expense and not come hat in hand to me to support your kids when I did not participate in creating them.
Let’s talk about his intention to increase funding for public housing. My response would be simple and direct. Hell no, poverty should not be comfortable. I’m not talking about those disabled and unable to work. I’m talking about these welfare moms popping out eight kids by eight different men and then asking us to provide them not only nourishment but also an abode. People must be held responsible for their decisions in life and subsidizing stupidity only ensures you’ll have more of it.
Moving on to the expansion of the earned income credit, an oxymoron if I ever heard one. These people haven’t earned a damn thing, they’ve only taken. They now get thousands of dollars back in the form of income tax when they actually paid no tax at all. Let me repeat this, the government has no money, they simply take it from us and give it to these under performers, again, making poverty comfortable instead of encouraging people to better themselves. Again, we are rewarding failure.
The scariest proposal of King, our Lord Obama is his global poverty act, I’ll gladly explain so even you liberals in the audience can understand. His plan is to tax us into submission and redistribute that wealth to impoverished countries. The only adjective as a response that I can think of is total idiocy. What in fact Obama’s plan will do is give these countries a fish instead of teaching them how to fish. If you really want to help third world countries export to them freedom, capitalism, free trade and industrialization. I would comment on Obama’s plan to increase the minimum wage to $10.00 and hour but that plan is so pandering and demeaning to my intelligence I’ll simply pass. However, I would ask but one question of you democrats feverishly typing personal attacks instead of debating my premises, this guy is the best you can do?
