Obama-Speak: Tax Non-Sequiturs

Oh, it's on now.

In yesterday's Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, the Young President is quoted in an article entitled, "Obama Zeroes in on Wealthy." He's starting to push his new tax plan that will "share the wealth."

Get this:

Obama says the tax shift, which is dependent upon congressional
approval, will “begin to restore fairness to the tax
code.”

“There is nothing wrong with people succeeding and making money,” Obama
wrote in the 2010 budget proposal he presented last month. “But there is
something wrong when the opportunity for all Americans to get ahead, to enter
the middle class, and to create a better life for their children becomes more
and more elusive.”

. . . .

“It’s not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that
everybody who is behind you, that they’ve got a chance at success, too,” Obama
told the man [Joe, the Plumber]. “I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”

. . . .

“It’s a legacy of irresponsibility,” the president wrote, “and it is our
duty to change it.”

Considering the bail-out debacle, isn't referring to previous administrations' tax cuts as a "legacy of irresponsibility" a tad bit of the pot calling the kettle black?

And, what kind of freakin' non sequitur is the rest of that nonsense?! How does he get from "restoring fairness to the tax code" to "spreading the wealth around"?! How does taking an inordinate percentage of one citizen's income improve another's "chance at success"?! Total and utter non sequitur.

But will the Obamaniacs buy it? You betcha. They'll stand in line to cash their stimulus checks to pay for it.

Here's the change.

I hope the Obama daughters ask their Daddy to read them a fable before bedtime. You know the one; the one about the goose that laid the golden eggs and croaked before she could move to the Cayman Islands.
