He's All About Your Benjamins

I remember some time back Bill O'Reilly interview with Glenn Beck, where an incredulous O'Reilly asked Beck, "Do you think President Obama is a closet Marxist?"

The man was raised and mentored by radical socialist thinkers, and has surrounded himself with them for the whole of his adult life. How could he be anything else?

I've said it before, but it bears repeating. President Obama's agenda is, always has been, and always will be "Social Justice" through the redistribution of wealth. Just look at his policies.

Even if only the proposed on tax, health care, and cap and trade legislation were to pass, nearly $1 trillion dollars in wealth would be redistributed from the top 30 percent of the nation, to the bottom 70 percent by 2012, according to The Tax Foundation.

One Trillion Dollars in just his first term. That's about 2800 dollars per year taken from each man, woman, and child in the wealthiest 30 percent.

Even if none of Obama’s policies becomes law, the extent of income redistribution is remarkable,” said Scott Hodge, president of the organization. “The top-earning 40 percent of families will transfer $826 billion to the bottom 60 percent in 2012.”

It's estimated that American families earning less than $109,460 would receive more in value of government benefits, than the money they pay in taxes. The lowest income brackets would receive a staggering $10.44 in federal spending for every dollar they pay in taxes.

So you ask me, "Why do you care, you're in the 70 percent right?" That's true, my family is for now, barely. It would not take much to put us over the line and into the top 30 percent, and I can assure those in Washington, that would not make us wealthy by any stretch. So pardon me if the idea of getting a raise only to cross some imaginary line, and be forced to prop someone else up bothers me.

I feel lucky that in this economy my family has what it needs, but there's really no luck to it. We work very hard for what we have, and Mr. Obama, we aim to keep it.

Wealth redistribution amounts to institutionalized theft. Contact congress, tell them to get their hands out of your pockets.
