Barack Obama tells a plumber in Ohio he wants to "spread the wealth around," eliciting criticism that his economic recovery plan is socialist in nature.

Barack Obama told a tax-burdened plumber over the weekend that his economic philosophy is to "spread the wealth around" -- a comment that may only draw fire from riled-up John McCain supporters who have taken to calling Obama a "socialist" at the Republican's rallies.

Obama made the remark after fielding some tough questions from the plumber Sunday in Ohio, where the Democratic candidate canvassed neighborhoods and encouraged residents to vote early.

"Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn't it?" the plumber asked.

"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 for success too," Obama responded. "My attitude is that if the economy's good for folks from the bottom up, it's gonna be good for everybody ... I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."

Obama frequently rails against what he calls a Republican concept that tax breaks for the wealthy will somehow "trickle down" to middle-class Americans.

Obama says he will not raise taxes on anyone making less than $250,000 a year. (yea, right!)

DAMMIT you beat me to it!!! I was just headed on here to post this up!!!

LOL :D

More like anyone who makes over about $30-35k a year will see their taxes go up!!!
 
How can anyone possibly, in their right mind, vote for this tool????
 
you guys do know that his top 3 economic advisors are also the last 3 ex CEO's of fannymay and freddymac, the assholes that drove that bank into the ground while walking away with millions in their pockets while the economy crumbled behind them. I wish someone would just shoot him and all of his cronies in the face. i think dick chenny should take them out hunting with him lol.
 
I hate how socialists play the Robin Hood role and demonize "rich" people and proclaim that they'll tax em', then redistribute their wealth to the lower classes. All it takes is a brain stem to realize that that's not fair. The evil rich people for the most part are rich BECAUSE THEY'VE EARNED THEIR MONEY, not like the people who draw wellfare and complain about how they're poor because somehow (insert excuse here) they're "disadvantaged" because of the evil rich people and big corperations. And those are the people (idiots) that people like Mr. Obama (an idiot) cater to. :D
 
x2!
 
Well honestly a lot of lower-class people actually are disadvantaged, and a lot of wealthy people did little or nothing to earn it.

OTOH, it's proven fact that redistribution just makes everybody equally poor. There is no time or place in all of history where redistribution made everybody wealthy.
 
So you think "the man" is really keeping people down? :D
 
I think monetary wealth is usually representative of value, but there are obviously exceptions. However trying to "fix" inequity by seizing assets is farking brainless.

This is old stuff man. Winston Churchill said "The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of misery."

You just described all politicians. Washington needs an enema. :lecture:
 
It's typical Democrat class warfare. Here's a notion: Rather than take from the rich and redistribute to the poor, how about helping the poor achieve a higher standard of living?
