Obama Tells Democrats He Welcomes “Robust Debate” On “Class Warfare”…

What debate? He’s pushing textbook class warfare. End of story.

(Chicago Tribune) — President Obama said Friday that one of the biggest fights he will wage on the campaign trail is the GOP criticism that his tax proposals amount to “class warfare.”

Nothing against the wealthy, Obama said, “everybody wants to be rich.” The question is, he said, whether the nation is offering opportunity to all.

“We’re going to have a robust debate about whose vision is more promising [for] moving this country forward,” Obama said.

    “We’re going to have a robust debate about whose vision is more promising [for] moving this country forward,” Obama said.

    The debate has been long settled.

    Individual Liberty, Free Markets, and Equality under law and of opportunity WIN.

    Statist dictates and grants of freedoms, control of markets, control of opportunity and mandated outcomes LOSES.

    Isn’t he deflecting class warfare criticism by using class warfare?

    That’s an argument that the GOP should relish taking on.

    In fact, as much as Obama targets the ‘wealthy’, the GOP should highlight those who don’t contribute at all. What’s the percentage now? Over 40% or so? And that doesn’t even include all of the government workers who are a national ‘overhead’. And it’s a number getting bigger by the day.

    The ‘wealthy’ benefit society in so many ways, and probably most everyone aspires to financial security. The GOP needs to tap that desire and come up with its own brand of ‘populist’ messaging.

    I won’t hold my breath, however.

    This is what happens when a little boy grows up with parents that don’t want him!

    It is really easeier than you think to understand.

    If liberals are unhappy than no one can be happy!

    If a conservative sees a U.S. flag, his heart swells with pride. If a liberal sees a U.S. flag, he feels shame.

    If a conservative doesn’t like guns, they don’t buy them. If a liberal doesn’t like guns, then no one else should have one either.

    If a conservative is a vegetarian, he won’t eat meat. If a liberal is, they want to ban all meat products for everyone.

    If a conservative sees a foreign threat, he thinks about how to defeat it. If a liberal see an enemy he wonders what he can do to appease him.

    If a conservative is homosexual, he’ll quietly enjoy his life. If a liberal is homosexual, he’ll demand everyone get involved in his bedroom activities.

    If a successful conservative is black or Hispanic, he’ll see himself as having succeeded on his own merits. Successful liberal minorities still claim “racism” and want government to give them even more.

    If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to work to better his situation. A liberal wants someone else to take care of him.

    If a conservative doesn’t like a talk show host, he switches channels. If a liberal doesn’t like a radio show, he demands that the station be shut down or censored.

    If a conservative is a non-believer, he just doesn’t go to church. Non-believing liberals demand that everyone cease believing and demands churches be censored.

    If a conservative needs health care, he shops for it, or chooses a job that provides it. Liberals demand that everyone else provide him with healthcare for free.

    If a conservative sees a law, he thinks long and hard before suggesting a change. If a liberal sees a law he assumes it is just a suggestion and does what he wants anyway.

    Conservatives feel there is a right and wrong. Liberals feel that nothing is really wrong… unless it is believed by a conservative.

    Conservatives believe in freedom, responsibility, tradition, and self-reliance.
    Liberals believe in license, government restrictions, upending tradition, and collectives.

    @Bam Fluff

    I think the number is now 47.5% either pay ZERO taxes or are net recipients, with various credits etc… they have net income from taxes.

    Who Pays Income Taxes and How Much?

    Top 5% earning over $154K pay 58.66% of income taxes.
    Bottom 50% earning less than $32k pay 2.25%

    That is still defined by The Wee Won as “unfair.”

    “opportunity”????

    Obama obvious thinks that “opportunity” involves demanding the assets of some for the expenses of others.

    Obama “welcomes debate”???

    Obama doesn’t want debate, he can’t handle it. Because there is no way in the world that he can justify anything he’s done or point to anyone he’s benefitted other than his supporters, and even that won’t suffice if the country goes down the tubes. What good is a million dollars when the U.S. dollar has no value?

    What Barry welcomes (demands) is acquiescence or total and complete surrender.

    I cant think of one person Obama has debated in his entire life. McCain certainly didnt count. Has practically gave Obama fellatio on live television.

  25. Rick Caird says:

    It seems that whenever this President feels he is on shaky grounds he “welcomes a debate” on that topic or it is a “debate he wants to have”.

    So he’s admittng that he started a Class War?

    I thought he’s been denying it all along.

    Take your pick…Newt Gingrich, Ann Coulter, Mark Levin, (any one of a number of choices) alone against him and as many idiot Keynesian fools as he wishes to bring along, and he’ll be left a quivering crying little mama’s boy…
