Obama and the Plumber

Did you hear the one about Obama and the Plumber?

True story….

Obama’s at one of his town meetings and a plumbing contractor who wanted to expand his business to over $250,000 in sales, asked Obama directly how he would fare under Obama’s economic plan for America. Obama had to admit that this guy would pay a much higher business tax for his expansion.

In trying to explain the logic of this to the clearly unimpressed plumber, Obama stated that we must “share the wealth” in his plan, and that there is nothing wrong with that in his mind.

There has been no other clearer indication of the purely socialist mentality of Obama and his ilk, than in this one single statement to the plumber. Obama truly believes that you must limit success. Actually punish it. That no one should be allowed wealth or prosperity, without having much of it taken away by the government and redistributing it to those who don’t take the risks, or have the smarts, or have the motivation to succeed as the business owner had done.

The vast majority of Americans work for small businesses like this plumber owns. These business people make up the core of our economy. But Obama doesn’t get it. He would gut this layer of entrepreneurs given time, and in turn, create what he really wants for America. Not a democracy, not a nation of builders. No free thinking. No creativity. No growth. No reaching higher for anything except another government hand-out. It isn’t right for America. He isn’t right for America. We have three weeks to wake up to that fact.
