Obama’s illusions… he has been playing a magic act as he pretends to pull money & solutions to health care out of the air (or his ass.. naw that would be too much effort). He talks a good talk (to his supporters anyhow, I find everything he utters to be simply what it is.. noise!).
This article was great.. explaining how Obama’s “Plan” does NOT work….
Obama’s idea is “steal from the rich” (now where have we heard that quote.. oh right.. apparently Obama [spit] has been watching too many old Robin Hood movies).. the problem is when you steal from your employer (and most of the rich are the employers of so many of us) what happens? If your employer loses money.. that affects YOU! If he does not have money to pay you… you don’t get paid.. if he can not improve the business.. you don’t get a raise.. etc.
His idea of health care.. make sure it is equal to all.. doctors are raped by health insurance companies as it is.. if you take more from them, and through this socialized medicine idea it will take MORE from medical professionals… what is the result? If a doctor can make more money at McDonalds, what are the odds he will continue with medicine?
When you knock down one domino.. guess what.. everything falls down. Obama [spit] is an idiot, and I so much wish his oblivious followers would finally wake up and realize all this!
I highlighted some of this article, but the entire thing is great!
A more realistic explanation would be something like this: “I’m the Messiah, and I can make it so.”
Liberal Democrats have pitted the classes against one another since the beginning of our two-party political process. It always sounds like a good populist plan. We’ll take from those with the most and give to those with the least. It’s the Robin Hood thing; Robin Hood is socialist parable.
Obama [spit] can soak corporations and the rich, but he can’t create wealth. Government does not, and cannot, produce wealth. Free economies produce wealth. And unless Obama [spit] creates wealth, he can’t provide health care and education for all. Health care and education are forms of wealth, and there’s not enough to go around.
Soak-the-rich taxes merely serve as new overhead for people who set prices and employ the middle class and poor. All taxes are regressive, because wealthy individuals and corporations pass along their overhead. They aren’t evil, they’re just in business.
Let’s say a widget costs one dollar to make, and it sells for $1.10. If the Acme Widget Corporation’s taxes go up, the widget costs more to make. If it costs $1.10 to make, the price to the consumer will be more like $1.20. The tax (a cost of doing business) has been passed down to the middle class, negating the hocus-pocus shift in tax burden. No new wealth has resulted from the shift, just an illusion of helping the poor at a cost to the rich.
Robin Hood didn’t help the poor, he stole for the poor. If the CEO of Acme is hit with a giant new tax bill at home, he may lay off his gardener and maid - lower-income workers supposedly aided by a tax break. The CEO might dine out and shop less, hurting middle class waiters and sales clerks supposedly aided by a soaking of the rich. Examples could be endless, because tax regression is to economics what gravity is to physics.
The only way to keep taxes low for the middle class and the poor is to keep taxes low for all. Higher taxes for the rich make no more sense than higher fuel prices for the rich. Higher fuel prices for the Safeway Corp., and its owners, would mean proportionally higher food prices - felt more by the middle class and the poor. All tax is regressive.
Obama’s soak-the-rich plan to pay for amazing promises simply isn’t going to work, because it’s merely a redistribution ploy. To give all Americans equal access to health care and education, this country will need additional wealth, not a shell game involving the wealth we already have.
