Obama on Redistribution of Wealth

Here's a government lesson for you. There are Three SEPARATE Branches of our government. The EXECUTIVE (President) the LEGISLATIVE ( Congress the House and Senate) and JUDICIAL (the Supreme court.)

ONE doesn't preside over the other.

Here's the real lesson for you, Obama had control of the Executive Branch and his party had control over the legislative branch. What legislation did Obama want that the Democrat leadership didn't implement? The results we have today are totally Obama's responsibility and it seems you want to give him four more years to make things worse
 
In the Netherlands we also pay income tax and we pay insurance into health care and unemployment benefit system. I had already read in the past that federal income tax was not used for SS and Medicare.

They each have their own taxes deducted directly from paychecks, separate from income tax.

Examples? How about some facts?

How many times do actual results have to be posted

23 million unemployed/under employed/discouraged workers today
More unemployed today than when he took office
Declining labor force
5.4 trillion added to the debt
48 million on food stamps
46 million below the poverty level
$5000 decline in median income
1.7% GDP growth making this the worst economic recovery from a recession in history
100 million Americans on some form of taxpayer assisted welfare
Crony capitalism
Class warfare and promoting redistribution of wealth

Want me to go on although I doubt it will matter. Obama supporters don't care about results, only the rhetoric
 
Who's a Marxist?
Another latecomer. Awesome.

Show me proof of legislation that makes this President a Marxist AFTER you define the term.
This indicates to me that you would never accept his youth, his background, his proclivities, his desire to be around radicals, Marxists, socialists, Communists, and terrorists as evidence of his Marxist beliefs. No. The only evidence you will see is the evidence that comes too late for anyone to do anything about it. Fortunately there are plenty of us who will do the hard work this November and consign the one term Marxist, flexible with our enemies, president Barrack Hussein Obama, to the trash heap of history.

And you "believe that the election of the one term Marxist is the reason we saw so many businesses shed jobs". Really?
Why yes. Really. I can see the evidence in the numbers. I have fit my belief to the evidence.

YOu don't care to KNOW the truth...just confirm a "belief" that the pundits give you?
This barely makes sense. Should I try to fix it for you? No. You give it another try first.

Are you old enough to vote? Do you consider it an important rite of passage as a citizen of this nation to vote? Do you think your vote should be based upon lies or truths?
So many questions. So little time.
I wish that about half of you would just stay home. But you won't. My vote will be based upon truths. And yours? If you support the one term Marxist then you can be certain your vote will be based upon the lies you seem to oppose. Isn't it funny how that works out some times?
 
Bad memory. Especially with no facts. Can't have a discussion if you don't have facts to go on.

Don't need to; have no desire to. BTW, "Bad memory" is what those swing voters will be exercising off of on election day.
 
No, we had $4.12 gas under Bush.

we had 4.25 a gallon gas in Cincinnati for a couple of days in a few areas. what was the length of time that lasted under Bush. Gas has been over 3.78 a gallon in SW Ohio for at least 6 weeks

Talking about national averages here. As I said -- it reached a higher peak under Bush than it ever has under Obama. It didn't last long because he blew up the economy. Good solution.

No, republicans refusing to help the veterans find jobs by NOT signing the Veteran jobs bill is what will be sticking with most voters. The swing voters already have decided Obama. Romney changes his story every time he does a drive by, and his comments on the 47% hurt his base of tea party voters.

I've heard that Active Duty families are starting to have issues with medical providers dropping out of Tricare participation. Not sure how widespread it is.

But you must understand it is only certain Bush results that matter and certain Obama results that matter. We cannot get caught up in tying debt, unemployment, and low economic growth to Obama. After all Obama has a great smile, campaigns well, has improved his golf game, and takes great vacations. Those are what matters to "swing voters"

You really want four more years of Obama and the question is why? I gave you some of Obama's results which of course you ignored. Just goes to show that Obama supporters really have no interest in results.

what matters more-filling up once at 4.25 or filling up for months for 390..Bush had the major Katrina disaster in his second term that really had a massive impact on gas prices as well

the average under Obama is 5 cents more than under Bush's SECOND term. His first term it was much lower

It's getting worse. Part of the privatization of health care for veterans the republicans did.

You provided NOTHING but your opinions which don't add up on the facts. I get it. You're republican. You want the rich richer and poor taxed and to privatize social security and medicare. I get it. We all get it. But wanting those WITHOUT knowing what Obama has accomplished in his four years just makes no sense to me.

Keep showing how little research you are capable of doing, what opinions did I post? Don't forget I want to starve kids and kill seniors too. Looks to me like a typical Obama supporter.
 
We can't afford to go back to the economic policies that crashed this economy to begin with. Like it or not, the economy is growing. That is a lot better than before Obama came into office.
Like it or not, poverty is growing, the workforce is shrinking, and the majority of the nation believes were headed in the wrong direction, and we have people voting who haven't a clue what caused the economy to crash. All bad signs.

I've provided plenty of research. And you know it's documented here AND it's documented that you have supplied NONE>

The fear of the rich taking it all is the best thing the left has now. Amidst all the attack ads paid for by rich international nations and oil countries and persons, the American worker sees the rich getting more and they getting less. And they now know all those tax cuts did NOT have the rich create any jobs.

The lies and spins affect fewer and fewer. The republains are attacking seniors, women, hispanics, blacks, gays and Muslims..that's more than the majority of Americans.

I am waiting for what I have posted as Obama results are opinions? You made the claim now prove it

Here's one.

The fact is, the country is busted and voted for a community organizer who is in over his head. The Obama results speak for themselves and your support speaks volumes about you.

Here's two.

It is a waste of time posting numbers to an Obama supporter most of whom have no concept of leadership or the responsibilities of leadership. They will continue to make excuses for this incompetent, divert from his record, and always place blame on someone else for failure. We are expected to give Obama four more years with the results he has. No thanks, he doesn't deserve it. I didn't vote for Obama because of his resume and won't vote for him because of his record which confirms the resume.

Here's three

Regardless of what you say he inherited and what the media continues to claim he hasn't fixed the mess that he said he had the answers to. His results show that he doesn't deserve four more years and my bet is you understand that and won't be voting for him and rightly so

Here's four

Wake up folks. Those who support Obama WILL NEVER GET IT! Once again...THOSE WHO SUPPORT OBAMA WILL NEVER GET IT.


Obama could stand up at a rally and say: "I want to be totally honest with America as this has been bothering me for many years. I have denied being a Muslim, but the truth is, in my heart, in my heritage, I am Muslim and believe Allah to be my God. I was born Muslim. I was raised Muslim. I am Muslim. I am a member of the religion of peace and will do everything I can to get rid of those that are not representing true Islam and are causing all the terror."

He could continue by adding: "For those out there who are called birthers, I apologize to you, too. I was born in Kenya but came to Hawaii as an infant and my whole life has been as an American, other than the time my mother took me, as a small child, to Indonesia. The reason I hid my school records is that it showed I applied as a foreign student and was deeply embarrassed for doing so. I am sorry that I tried to cover up my background but I did it for the good of America so I can help change America to a better, more equal place on earth."

I also want to say that I believe in the redistribution of wealth and will work every day of my presidency to bring that about. The rich are evil and have taken the money from the middle class and the poor and I will restore that."

EVERY ONE OF HIS SUPPORTERS WILL BOW AT HIS FEET, CHEER UNTIL THEY HAD NO VOICES, AND THE MEDIA WILL APPLAUD HIS HONESTY.

Those of us who say: "SEE, I TOLD YOU SO," will be told that it doesn't matter and we only want to harm him.

When America is on its knees, dying from unemployment, choking to death from debt, overburdened with social programs, those who voted for him will STILL NOT BLAME OBAMA. THEY WILL BLAME THE REPUBLICANS FOR FIGHTING AGAINST HIM.

Sick? You betcha. There are 60 million Nero's in America that are just fiddling away.
