Obama Explains Tax Plan to Ohio Plumber

October 13th, 2008 · 19 Comments

I’ve never been a big fan of Penn & Teller, but today, I have to say I’m a fan of a new video released today that includes their commentary on Barack Obama’s socialist plans to turn the United States into a Marxist wasteland.  [Note:  The original Penn & Teller version has been pulled for some reason; therefore, I substituted another video showing Obama explaining away his tax play.]

WARNING::  Video includes objectionable language.

Incredibly, the video captures the Democratic Party presidential nominee using the words “spread the wealth around” during his response to a question asked by Joe Wurzelbacher of Toledo Holland, Ohio.  The 34-year-old plumber asked Obama, point blank, “Your new tax plan’s going to tax me more, isn’t it?”

If this doesn’t scare you, nothing will:  Higher taxes, wealth redistribution and a socialist airhead in the White House.

    As they say, ACTIONS speak louder than words. Look at Obama’s record. Since there isn’t one in the Senate, look at his record in Illinois and Chicago in particular. ‘Nuf said.

    My answer to BHO’s Socialist income redistribution plan is this: You raise my taxes and I fire employees. PERIOD.
    I create jobs and I can take them away so don’t count on my either contributing one more penny in taxes to your pie, Barry, or to create a single new job.
    Capitalists believe that only by increasing the pie does EVERYONE get a bigger slice. Socialists believe that the pie can never be increased so everyone has to go on a diet!

    Or you could watch the whole, unedited video and think for yourself rather than taking your cues from foxnews:

    Paul — If Obama’s desire to be “spread the wealth around” doesn’t convince you of the socialist he is, nothing will.

    DMD IN NOLA,

    If you are such a horrible business person that the only way you can make money is by laying people off, then you don’t deserve to be in business. I don’t want MY tax money going to subsidize your business or pay people welfare because you are too cheap to pay them a living wage. And if you refuse to pay taxes or don’t like paying them, then don’t call the police, don’t call the fire dept, don’t drive anywhere on our public roads.

    EP3,

    It’s obvious to me — and to DMD in NOLA, I’m sure — that you’ve never owned or operated your own business. So, for you to inject your baseless input into the discussion, makes as much sense as voting for Barack Obama (i.e., none).

    UM, gee, i’m an accountant who works for a management consulting business.
    I guess that makes me about as qualified as the idiot president who “claims” to have a MBA and got us in this mess to begin with.

    No matter where you stand on the issues, do you really want to live in an America where you are vilified, investigated, smeared and your livelihood threatened if you ask a government official a question, any question, even a stupid or rude question, even a partisan question, even a leading question, even if we keep asking the same question over and over because we don’t understand the answer you gave us last time? Asking a question is not a crime.

    I only wish more people had seen the video before the election. I can’t believe all the people who voted for O’Bama are now backing off. They see the lies, the lack of an understanding of an economy. They see the outright flaunting of a socialist agenda.

    Spread the wealth around is a saying used by americans since we slaughter millions of native americans to become illegal immigrants.

    Yours would be a noteworthy comment IF IT MADE ANY SENSE.
