Wealth Distribution
Apparently Obama has decided to step away from his healthcare disaster and pivot to his other disaster, the US economy. And he wants to save us all by shrinking the income gap.
President Barack Obama says the income gap between America’s rich and poor is a “defining challenge of our time.”
Life isn’t fair, it never has been. In the immortal words of Judge Smails from Caddyshack:
Danny Noonan: I planned to go to law school after I graduated, but it looks like my folks won’t have enough money to put me through college.
Judge Smails: Well, the world needs ditch diggers, too.
Life isn’t about fair. They didn’t have participation trophies back in my day, being unemployed was frowned upon, being on welfare or food stamps was considered an embarrassment. If you were on some kind of disability, your family and local charities helped out. Now all of these things are a way of life. Why work when you can live fat and happy on the government dole.
Wealth distribution or “income gap equality” as Barry likes to say goes against every principle America was built upon. If you are 30 years old and working at Burger King that is what you have chosen for yourself, if you don’t like the wages, get another job.

That’s how socialists see the world. Equal outcomes, not equal opportunity. Drag down those at the top, don’t raise those at the bottom.
Makes me want to puke…
Tim – How does anybody get motivated to do better for themselves. I personally worked at a fast food joint when I was in high school for some mad money, I knew after that experience I would not want to do it for a career.
This is why communism fails every time it’s tried. It’s the human trait of striving for excellence.
Bingo. Check mine for a simple explanation of capitalism. This is what works.
Blake – Agreed. We are on a slow path to socialism and it seems as though we don’t have the political will power to bring impeachment proceedings against Obama.
The Liberals depend on the ignorance of millions of Americans. My sister being one. She bashes conservative talk show folks like Rush Limbaugh, but when I asked her if she ever listened to him her reply was: “I don’t have time I just know what I know.” I then asked her how can you form an informed opinion if you have heard both sides of the arguement. Her stock answer is a blank stare, a sneer followed by: “I don’t want to talk about it.”
How the hell do you get throught to these ignoramuses if they refuse to have any discussion?
The answer is: YOU CAN’T.
You just have to hope all this Socialist “hopey-changey” crap eventually bites them in their ass so you can have a “I told you so laugh”.
Schadenfraude may not solve the problem but it does off some relief.
Toejam – Sadly, finding solace in the fact that Obama is failing at everything he does offers some relief, unfortunately, until he is impeached, he will continue with his reckless policies and further diminish what is left of this countries identity.
