It's not their money, it is YOURS....

This is an amazing 2001 audio clip going round this morning with Barack Obama saying how socialism is going to make the rounds.

What is always truly amazing to me is they talk about redistributing the wealth, or actually more Marxism, is that it is NOT THEIR MONEY. It belongs to the people who earned it. Maybe we need to take some of the GPA away from Barack and Michelle and give it to some students who were just shy of graduating so they can graduate. Maybe we should take away the money they use for their kids to go to a very expensive private school and give it to inner city kids in Chicago so they can go to the same school, make the Obama's pay the full tuition for several kids. 

Remember, the $250,000 thing he talks about is a forest. The theft of YOUR money in the tax  increase goes much deeper down the line. See previous post of mine for the real numbers.

Obama.... 

"If you look at the victories and failures of the civil rights movement and its litigation strategy in the court. I think where it succeeded was to invest formal rights in previously dispossessed people, so that now I would have the right to vote. I would now be able to sit at the lunch counter and order as long as I could pay for it I’d be o.k. But, the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth, and of more basic issues such as political and economic justice in society. To that extent, as radical as I think people try to characterize the Warren Court, it wasn’t that radical. It didn’t break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the Constitution, at least as its been interpreted and Warren Court interpreted in the same way, that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. Says what the states can’t do to you. Says what the Federal government can’t do to you, but doesn’t say what the Federal government or State government must do on your behalf, and that hasn’t shifted and one of the, I think, tragedies of the civil rights movement was, um, because the civil rights movement became so court focused I think there was a tendency to lose track of the political and community organizing and activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalition of powers through which you bring about redistributive change. In some ways we still suffer from that."
