Obama the Communist

First watch this video with Joe the Plumber, if you haven't seen it yet:

To me, what Obama is saying sounds very socialistic, bordering on Communism. Quoting Karl Marx: “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need”. Every time I hear this quote, my stomach turns. This is basically what Obama is telling Joe the Plumber. Maybe this is exactly what some Democrats wants to hear, I’m not sure. If you're a Democrat, you may like how Obama says he'll help the little guy, but as history has already proven, Communism failed miserably, do you think the US should try it? This idea of taxing those who make more at a higher rate and giving it to the poor is very in line with what Marx believed.

Seems to me if the government increases the taxes on small businesses making more than $250k per year and increases taxes on large companies, that they’d have less money to hire new employees. So sure, you and me get a tax break, but how good will that be when our employer has to start laying people off because it has to pay more in taxes.

Trickle down, not trickle up. Vote Libertarian, shrink the government and the need for taxes from anyone will dwindle.
