Obama: Americans Must “Pay Their Fair Share” To Cover My Stimulus Plans…

Of course he’s the one who determines what’s “fair.”

(Reuters) — President Barack Obama said on Saturday that Americans need to be ready to “pay their fair share” to narrow the deficit, previewing his proposals to Congress that are expected to include more taxes on the rich.

In his weekly radio and video address, the Democrat said his $447 billion jobs plan that features tax breaks for workers and small businesses, plus funds for public works projects and schools, “will not add to the deficit. It will be paid for.”

“On Monday, I’ll lay out my plan for how we’ll do that — how we’ll pay for this plan and pay down our debt by following some basic principles: making sure we live within our means and asking everyone to pay their fair share.”

Obama has repeatedly argued for the wealthiest Americans to face higher taxes with fewer loopholes and exceptions as part of the effort to ensure the U.S. debtload remains in control.

    We’ve paid for 5 generations to be worthless welfare drones. What is FAIR is to swap it out. We need 5 generations of redemptive worker-bees who actually earn a living and survive on-their-own.

    Let’s see…last year I paid 18% in federal tax, 8% in state tax, 7.65% in medicare/social security tax. 6% sales tax on every last thing I purchased. 8% of my income to property tax ($2200 this year). Then there are the taxes on my utility bills every month to some government entity. Vehicle registration fees. Additional fees to enroll the kids in public school. Gasoline tax, parking meters, day use fee at the state park. I am sure there are more.

    Add this all up and it is close if not at 50% of what I earn. I make less than $100,000 per year.

    Tell me Ovomit…what is my fair share? Because I consider half of my earnings to government to be more than enough!

    You have to be mildly impressed with the intestinal fortitude of this government. Unfortunately, this will probably pass with thunderous applause because “who would dare vote against giving good Americans their jobs back…why you’d have to be a radical-commi-traitor not to”. 

    Oh America…when will we ever wake up? Let’s do some math shall we… The TARP (Troubled Asset Recover Plan) legislation was close to $800 billion (yes, billion with a “B”) and was designed to reduce the burden of “troubled assets” and keep “good hard working honest patriotic Americans in their homes” of which none to very little of it actually went towards doing just that. So…$800 billion basically propped up the US economy for three years which means $447 billion (again, billion with a “B”) should buy this administration roughly a year and a half without another horrible downturn or economic collapse. Thus insuring a second term and a “who cares what happens after that?” lame-duck session. 

    I remember when the first TARP (uh uhm, finacial bailout) failed to pass back in ’08… Remember? All of the “concerned” representatives rushing towards the news cameras and screaming “see, see, there you go America! We did what you wanted and now the market’s down 777 points”. Ohhhh good times, good times… Translation: “a gravy train is rollin’ through Washington and we haven’t had enough time to hop on board”. Fast forward a week and 451 pages later…they got on board. 

    Yep, can’t wait to see all the new “temporary” jobs this magnificent piece creates. But what about all of the Electrical, Civil, and Mechanical Engineers (myself included)? What about all of the Computer Science majors, the Systems Analysts, the Executive & Assistant Secretaries, the small business owners, and the Real Estate Agents? Not all of us are young enough or physically able to swing a hammer or pave roads. Good times, good times!

    I am so EFFing sick of hearing the ‘pay your fair share’ shit. Had to suffer through the campaign of Mark Dayton(gov.-Minn.) and that was his mantra, the only thing he ran on,”I’m gonna make the rich pay their fair share of taxes”. Bullshit! As Slick Willy would say, “it depends on your definition of rich”, which is defined in the candidate’s own mind. The rich, as it turns out, is us, average joe, struggling to pay his bills and his job. But hey, we are ‘rich’ compared to those parasites with their hands perpetually out, never satisfied, with no shame whatsoever. I have a painter buddy in the union that has been collecting unemployment for 2 freakin’ years, it runs out next week. He told me, and I quote: “I guess it’s about time I got off my ass and started looking for work”. He’s got way more than me, yet I get to help pay for his ‘hiatus’. If I’m not working I get nothing(self-employed) yet I am now being told by the stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure that I need to pay my fair share. FU P-BO!

    You don’t have a daughter going for her masters degree in nursing, and a second daughter in her second year of medical school studying their asses off (one raising 3 young children) trying NOT to distract themselves from the goal of betterment by worries of an ObamaCare train-wrecked medical industry in this country.

    Please don’t call it “Stimulus.” It’s theft. If John Boehner negotiates with this bank robber, he’s complicit in the theft. Obama is an impostor. He’s illegal just like his aunt and uncle from Kenya. He’s a Jim Jones type bank robber who the Democrat Party fraudulently pushed on the American people, and enough of them foolishly voted for. Just because he’s a con man who was put in the White House, doesn’t mean he isn’t a bank robber. All of those that give this man more money are aiding and abetting this criminal.

    Fairness: The underlying goal of Activist Government. The deliberate pursuit of Government defined, Government mandated, and Government enforced Sameness (Equality). Because the Constitution insists that people are created equal, it becomes the duty of the Sociologist Activist Government to make certain that their lives are equal, that they achieve equally. “Inequity equals Iniquity,” and if people achieve unequal results in their pursuits of life, it’s because social crimes are being committed, crimes which have to be corrected through the pursuit of Fairness. Underachievers and Overachievers must be equalized, the Poor must be made Rich, we must pretend that the stupid are smart. It’s not enough to be created equal, we must obtain equal results from life. It’s only fair.

    We will all be paying more than our fair share for the rest of our lives, just to cover the interest on the debt that this Marxist Mohammedan has piled on our country. Of course he wants more. There will never be enough money for all the wasteful programs his people need to stay unemployed, uneducated, and unwilling to pay their own way. Obama is buying votes for the 2012 election. It is an old Democrat custom. It is how Socialist have stayed in power in Europe for decades. Eventually the money runs out, or the people rise up. Which one is going to happen first in this country is the multi-billion dollar question.

    “making sure we live within our means and asking everyone to pay their fair share.”

    Currently this is impossible. America can’t live within its means and support those on welfare. This country has a large subgroup that doesn’t pay any federal or income taxes. They do that by living off of welfare. Those that have kids actually get federal money every year through claiming the earned income tax credit – it pays to be a freeloader.

    “his proposals to Congress that are expected to include more taxes on the rich.”

    That’s not fair. How did it get like this? Why do so many people want to punish those who have become successful?
