White House Says Americans Want a Budget Deal That “Spreads the Prosperity”

Tax the rich, give to the poor with the White House choosing who wins and who loses.

RCP — “Americans are not like — ‘I demand this, you know, I draw the red line here and I draw this in the sand.’ They just want us to get something done that’s sensible, that spreads the sacrifice and spreads the prosperity,” White House press secretary jay Carney said at Tuesday evening’s press conference.

    Well the White House can start spreading the prosperity by allowing me to fly on Airforce 1. I need some of those vacations the Obamas are always taking.

    Poor Jay Carney. I think Art Carney would have made a better press secretary.

    Obama is just like Carter. He won’t do anything to help this economy. He will just have to be booted – just like Carter.

    Bullshit, pal. You guys who currently occupy the White House can go “spread” that crap somewhere else– we’ve got TOO much “spreading” going on as it is– and it’s called Taxed Enough Already, dumkopf!

    Legal plunder can be committed in an infinite number of ways; hence, there are an infinite number of plans for organizing it: tariffs, protection, bonuses, subsidies, incentives, the progressive income tax, free education, the right to employment, the right to profit, the right to wages, the right to relief, the right to the tools of production, interest free credit, etc., etc. And it the aggregate of all these plans, in respect to what they have in common, legal plunder, that goes under the name of socialism.

    …

    Sometimes the law defends plunder and participates in it. Thus the beneficiaries are spared the shame and danger that their acts would otherwise involve… But how is this legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them and gives it to the other persons to whom it doesn’t belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime. Then abolish that law without delay … No legal plunder; this is the principle of justice, peace, order, stability, harmony and logic.

    So, we now have one class of non-tax paying, using government to essentially STEAL from the hard working Americans to spread prosperity around…

    I believe we used to call that COMMUNISM, as in the old USSR where the ruling party AKA the communistic Dimocratic Party of the USA would preach taking from the so called “rich” to give it to the poor…

    Let me know how that work out when all the hardworking Americans decided to say “F*** it” and start sucking on government teats… much like in Greece…

    This freaking administration is CRIMINAL!!!!!

    Lord, is it 2012 yet???

    “spread the sacrifice”… Carney says

    How can we spread the sacrifice if only 50%… pay income tax…

    when these none paying money suckers, will…

    …enjoy their unfair “share of prosperity”

    Most Americans want liberty.

    And those that don’t like liberty should get the hell out. There are plenty of communist shit holes around the world that they can escape to.

    My husband and I have worked damn hard for our ‘prosperity’. The government can keep their thieving hands off of it if the idea is to spread it around to those unwilling to work just as hard. How about you start making the 50% of the population who pay NO federal taxes pony up their ‘share’ before taking more of mine!

    No, and hell NO! Why should anyone’s grandchildren pay for your wants, wish lists, and pure greedy appropriations from anyone. Madness. Man up, pull up your big boy shorts – ladies your big girl panties – and suck it up. Austerity is here and it’s best we address it now. Kicking the can down the road only worked in first grade.

    Not only have many of our leaders fallen, they are leading tens of millions of Americans toward serfdom.

    I thought we were already spreading the wealth when our Governement takes our takes dollars and give it to every shit hole country around the world and the tax payers don’t have a say in it at all. SO, if you want to know if we want socialism Carney, we’ve been doing it for years and it doesn’t change anything but put the GREED and CORUPTION right at the top. Look a all the shit hole thrid world countries we have been supporting for decades and nothing ever changes.

    Spread the wealth CARNEY, KISS MY ASS!!!!!

    Go fuck yourself, Carney, and the boss you rode in on….sacrifice???..sacrifice for what???….for the government’s fuck-ups???…for his inability to lead and impotence in the correct and fair government of this country???…Obama’s class warfare is all he has left, because there’s no freaking way he can run on his record of abject failure as a president…The left is going down, and those in Dem leadership damn well know it…. they will try to get what they can while they can, because Obama’s La-La Land is a year and a half from going bye-bye…Hopefully Boehner and the right can put some brakes on this shit…..I about half trust them, too, but they’re all we got……

    Yes………..

    The people (LEACHES) that pay no taxes and living off the GOVERNMENT TEAT want a Budget deal that raises taxes and guarantees an increase in Welfare benefits…..

    HOWEVER…….

    The people (PRODUCERS) that pay taxes want a Budget deal that includes no tax increases and a decrease in the size of government and it’s Welfare mentality.

    Obama is financing his revolution, on the on the taxpayers dime, that’s right were paying for our own destruction. …..If he’s not stopped soon, the outcome looks very bleak.

  38. Patriotic Logic says:
    July 5, 2011 at 7:56 pm

    The more they take (tax), the more they will spend on idiotic causes. The federal government is there to handle wars, international treaties and trade, and just a small handful of other responsibilities. Everything else is a bastardization of federal powers.

    It would be simple to balance the budget with existing tax revenues. Just go down the list and start eliminating federal outlays that are outside the duties as defined in the Constitution.

    Example: EPA = $10 billion. Eliminate it entirely…why is the EPA needed when there local Code Enforcement and local environmental police in many cities in every state?

    The best solution for spreading the wealth is have the ‘have nots’ go to work and earn it. Simple as that.

    Nobody is that dumb to possibly believe it’s ok to take from someone else what that person has worked for to give to someone that hasn’t worked for it.

    I wonder what the ‘have nots’ would do if others started taking from them?

  54. ThomNJ says:

    “They just want us to get something done that’s sensible, that spreads the sacrifice and spreads the prosperity,”

    Excuse me, asshole – NOT THIS AMERICAN! I don’t have a whole helluva lot, but I sure as hell don’t want to take from someone doing better financially than me for one simple reason: IT ISN’T MINE TO TAKE! And it is not the goevrnment’s right to take it either.

    I’d like to to see a Constitutional amendment: ONLY THOSE WHO ACTUALLY PAY INCOME TAXES GET TO VOTE.

    And you know what is also wrong with communism – their very premise is that wealth exists to be redistributed. Next time some asshole liberal talks up “sharing the wealth”, ask him or her if everyone was equal and there was NO wealth, no houses, no food, no security – would you rather live with the group that went off to become capitalists or the ones who went off to become communists? Which group do you think would do better faster and become more productive?
