Obama Still Pushing Class Warfare


The Good News Is: President Obama Offers Pie for All

What is it with Barack Obama and pie? A liberal blogger reports on his rally in Miami yesterday:

He told us, “After eight years of Bush-McCain economics, the pie is shrinking. And what’s left of the pie has been eaten by millionaires and billionaires. Everybody here wants some pie. We want to grow the pie. And then we want a slice of the pie!”

We chanted “We Want Pie!”

The video is here.

Obama says that ‘everyone deserves a chance at the American dream.’ It’s only if you succeed at achieving the American dream that Obama intends to take your pie away (to put it in terms Obama understands) and give it to someone else.

Can’t an improving economy help all Americans, without having to take from those who do well to give it to those who only do OK? The federal government is currently confiscating $1 trillion from the top 40 percent to the bottom 60 percent.

Here’s a question for Barack Obama: how much is enough? Is it $1.3 trillion? $2 trillion? More?

Obama's grandiose, pandering

ColoKid Wednesday, October 22nd at 11:41AM EST (link)

populism is simply mind-blowing. He’s certainly received a big slice of the “shrinking pie” in campaign contributions. Guess it’s not shrinking THAT fast, eh?

Hope the post-election headlines read: “Obama Eats Humble Pie”.

 

SOCIALISTS LIKE PIE

Can’t believe Obama would have the nerve to bring up Pie:

SOCIALISM IS YOUR FRIEND
Look at it this way:

You go to the pie shop and realize that you only have enough money for one slice of pie. Then in walks Bill Gates who proceeds to buy all the pies and leaves you standing there completely pieless. Is that fair? Why does he get all the pies? Shouldn’t he be made to share some of his pies instead of hording them all? Socialism says “YES, everyone is entitled to a piece of the pie! For now on, all pie shops will be under the control of The People, and The People will decide how to distribute the pies fairly and equitably.”

Imagine a world where, instead of walking into a pie shop and hoping, PRAYING you have enough money for one itty bitty little piece of pie, you simply put your name on a waiting list for the priviledge to go before a special commitee, who will carefully determine how deserving you are of pie, and will then give you a slice of pie FOR FREE!!!!! Never again will anyone have to pay for pie, and never again will one man be able to horde ALL the pie. No more will people compete to get more pie than their neighbor. Everyone will be entitled to exactly the same amount of pie, with the exception of the People on the Pie Committee, who will get extra pie because they wear party pins.

How do you get a party pin? Well, you have to join the Party, and that will cost you a fee of 100 pies. Then you have to be approved by the party leader, MOI, and I don’t like the shape of your nose. In fact, I think you’re being greedy by coming around and asking for pie all the time when the People are starving in the streets. “I want pie! I want pie! ME ME ME ME ME!!!!” You are putting your needs above the needs of The People, and that just won’t do. Your selfish attitude is harmful to The People, and you’re the reason everyone is starving. It’s because of YOU that there aren’t enough pies to go around. The only way we’re going to make this a perfect Socialist Utopia is if we put a stop to big-nosed, pie-stealing scum like you sabotaging the system! THE PEOPLE MUST BE CLEANSED OF YOUR DISEASE!!!! GET ON THE BOXCAR!!!! NOW!!!!

So the next time some right-wing extemist asks if you’re a socialist, just smile and say, “I like pie”.

Excellent post, Ed54

The Committee will also determine the contents of the pies. No doubt they will be salt free, sugar free, fat free and totally tasteless. For the Public Good, of course.

 
 

I can't hear Obama say pie and not laugh

Anti-American

Yes I said it! Barack Obama is Anti-American because he stands against what America is. He’s a big old communistic turd. They’re the worst kind of turd.

He’s the only person that can make me not crave pie.

AP in the tank for the O-man

Steve Maley (Diary) Wednesday, October 22nd at 1:23PM EST (link)

This morning’s Baton Rouge Advocate with the above-the-fold banner headline: “REDISTRIBUTION NOT NEW: Tax-and-spend wealth spreading a long U.S. tradition”. This makes me want to puke.

Link to the AP story here.

Common sense should tell you that when nearly 50% of income earners pay no income tax, something’s wrong. As the Wall Street Journal has shown, Obama’s tax plan will create a giant disincentive for the working poor to work more to improve their condition; to me, that’s immoral.

I am old enough to remember the high marginal tax rates that Ronald Reagan got rid of. High marginal rates back then caused the wealthy to pursue non-productive investments only to avoid taxes.

Our system is voluntary; if the wealthy are asked to pay a tax rate that they perceive to be unfair, they have the options of a) curtailing investment, or b) checking out of the system entirely.

How do you make pie when the bakery folded?

Jumpedship (Diary) Wednesday, October 22nd at 2:09PM EST (link)

**What a pig-in-a-poke Obama is peddling. Nobody gets any pie after Obama taxes the bakery out of existence.

Good luck cultivating inventors and entrepreneurs when there’s nothing in it for them.

Good luck creating businesses, that employ people, when Obama kills the catalysts for inventions and ideas.

Good luck EVER getting out of the economic crisis with a Socialist economy growing a whopping 1% a year.

And I believe Gates BOUGHT the pies and didn’t steal them. With the philanthropy he’s deep into, he’d turn around and give the pies to everyone who couldn’t afford a slice.

 

A Pie in Every Pot

or something like that.

You can’t afford the price of free corn.
