Are You Selfish? Barack Obama Says You Are.
I’m going to mostly let this statement from Barack Obama speak for itself, though I do have three questions for you to ponder (via Hot Air).
“The point is, though, that — and it’s not just charity, it’s not just that I want to help the middle class and working people who are trying to get in the middle class — it’s that when we actually make sure that everybody’s got a shot – when young people can all go to college, when everybody’s got decent health care, when everybody’s got a little more money at the end of the month – then guess what? Everybody starts spending that money, they decide maybe I can afford a new car, maybe I can afford a computer for my child. They can buy the products and services that businesses are selling and everybody is better off. All boats rise. That’s what happened in the 1990s, that’s what we need to restore. And that’s what I’m gonna do as president of the United States of America.
“John McCain and Sarah Palin they call this socialistic,” Obama continued. “You know I don’t know when, when they decided they wanted to make a virtue out of selfishness.”
Keeping in mind that his definition of wealthy has slid from $250,000 down to around $100,000 Here are the questions:
1) Where is Barack Obama going to get the money to send everyone to college, give everyone “decent” health care, and make sure that you have enough money to make everyone “better off”?
2) Why doesn’t Barack Obama see the difference between coercion (taking your money and giving it to people he thinks deserve it) and charity (you giving your money to people you think should have it)?
3) Why does Barack Obama consider it selfish for you to dispose of your money the way you see fit, which includes charity?
As an added bonus, consider this from an Obama supporter who can’t wait for the day when Obama will pay for her gasoline and mortgage.

"Where is Barack Obama going to get the money to send everyone to college"
The amount of money to do that is less than what we're spending in Iraq right now. How do we get the money for that? Oh yeah, we borrow it. And that's not a good thing. But if we can spend money on Iraq and expect no returns, can't we spend some money on ourselves and at least get some return?
This is the logic of an immature child. Iraq spending is emergency spending. There is no reason to match, dollar for dollar, in the cause of your choice just because dollars were spent else-where that you obviously don't agree with. Look how much money was spent in Louisian on Katrina? Should the rest of the states demand thier fair share? Look how much aid we send to Africa…is that unfair when we don't match those dollars to other countries who are not having a crisis but could still probably make good use of the money? If you want to make the case for new highways or free college for everyone, than make it based on the need or benefit of that program. Don't base it on, but mommy…Iraq got billions of dollars & I didn't get any. Grow up!
