OBAMA – “YOU HAVE MADE ENOUGH”
HOW MUCH IS OK?
On May 21st, Scripps TC newspapers printed an article by Thomas Sowell called “Who Decides How Much is Enough?” It quoted a statement by President Barack Hussein Obama that “at some point you have made enough money.” Sowell says that when politicians with the power to determine each citizen’s income they are no longer public servants. They are public masters. Politicians who take on that role “stifle economic progress and drain away other people’s money in order to hand out goodies that will help get themselves re-elected. Some people call that “social justice” even when it is anti-social politics.” In the book “The BLUEPRINT, Obama’s Plan to Subvert the Constitution and Build an Imperial Presidency”, Blackwell and Klukowski write that the Obama administration’s attempt for the poor to get their fair share is “pure socialism, possibly to the point of sounding Marxist. It presupposes that it’s the role of government to redistribute wealth, taking it from some, and giving it to others. According to this mind-set, the government is entitled to decide how much of your hard-earned money you should keep, versus how much you’ll be forced to give up so government can give it to others. It’s a denial of the basic American concept of private property ownership.” How much is OK?
