So that begs the question from the other two posters. How much of what I earn for my family belongs to YOU and why?

It's a philosophical question asked several times here and has never gotten an answer.

If you look at it through liberal eyes it's all about sounding good and feeling good. Actual outcomes and common sense are ignored especially when someone else gets to pay for it.

They think they are taking the moral high ground by forcibly punishing achievement and offering it up to others as freebies. Makes them feel righteous.

Liberals call it selfish. Most call it thievery.

"You can't make a weak man stronger by making a strong man weak." But they think that's exactly what's got to happen to fix the problem.

And how'd that welfare program work out? All it gave us was a welfare state and for many welfare became a way of life. It didn't help anyone achieve anything. Oh I'm sure it helped a few who pulled themselves up by the boot straps but none the less it was abject failure. Even Bill Clinton knew that.



And after all that we still have poor people. How much more do we have to give until everyone is equally poor? It's simply not fair that some people are successful and some are not. The misery must be spread equally and that's exactly what Obama aims to do.

My family gets by. Obama is going to see that we get by with a little less.
