My issues with Obama are the same with any fiscal liberal (Myself being a fiscal conservative).
When Obama uses a phrase like, " I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money."
It shows his core believe, that the Government owns the result of your labor first, and allow you
to keep what the Government deems fair. (we are all just part of a large plantation.)
The Government is not charged participating in charity.
When did Liberals become more interested in, is everyone getting an equal amount, vs,
I want to be as free as possible?
I don't think it is a socialistic or communist issue. I feel that it is more of an efficiency issue. Historically, when the rich are allowed to become richer without restrictions, the middle and lower classes are hurt. It can be best seen in the Great Depression. The highly unregulated trusts, although attempts were made in the preceding progressive movement, left an extreme gap between the rich and the middle class. The middle class had begun to disappear altogether. Then, in 1930, the economy collapsed. It can also be seen in the years from the 70's until the most recent recession. The same problem is recurring and we have yet to fix it. I'm not advocating socialism, but when you give the big kid complete freedom, the little kid gets bullied. It is human nature.
