Obama's Speech On Fairness, Fair Share, Income Inequality Vs Milton Friedman

[stoiclife45]

If one proposed that today, fatuous commentators would be vitriolically denouncing it as communism (of course, without the slightest understand of what communism is). Read some speeches from Eisenhower or Nixon. Much more "liberal" than this. And look at the policies. Again, much more liberal and much more equitable economically.

Read a few books. You obviously have no idea about what the "Founders intended." Nor did the Founders have a unified vision. To pretend that Hamilton's vision was Jefferson or Franklin's is ridiculous. However, let us take Jefferson since everyone will agree that his vision is an important part of the American narrative. Jefferson believed that 1) land should be divided and subdivided as equally as was "feasible," and 2) that land wealth should be taxed at a geometrical rate.

does anyone actually know what socialism means?

You people all seem a bit biased.... Keep blinding yourselves and see what happens to America. Presidential election was not founded upon the principle that you had to be either Repub or Demo, rather than who TRULY has the best ideas and knowledge to run the country for the given period in time. For example... can any of you answer this: "Who will you vote for (if voting at all) in the 2012 election, and state 3 reasons why you chose the candidate you chose."

@CallOfDutyMASSACRE Man, you're a pure genius! Your cunning intellectual prowess, has us all in tizzy! Congratulations, you figured us out! Yes, we're biased when it comes to defeating the Marxist Messiah that is destroying our country. We want the most conservative out of the bunch & we'll get behind the person who is nominated to defeat the Marxist in chief! Because we will not survive another 4 years of Barry! Now run along & play your video games, while the rest of us save the Republic!

@Truthseeker2112 ... And let me guess, you would rather the Gingrich way of things, where children are focused on bringing little bits of income home to dad and mom rather than their oh-so-important education? The man who is willing to spend billions on a moon base. You may continue believing all I do is play video games, but the name simply suggests my favorite entertainment at the time. Now I will continue working toward my baccalaureate regardless of what silly brannigan you may think of next

@CallOfDutyMASSACRE Congratulations! You are one of the many, that my tax dollars will subsidize your worthless piece of paper you'll receive on graduation day! Enlighten us all drone, I presume you feel you're entitled to an education, correct? Or as your fellow miscreant OWS say, Education is a right! Funny, I don't remember seeing that in the constitution! Matter of fact, I can't find anything your leftist President wasted our tax dollars on in the constitution! Now go away, you bother me!

What is Obama smoking? Americans have too much govt in their lives.Gov't making home ownership a civil right causing the crash,Bernie Madoff bribing bureaucrats to get away with fraud, gov't owns the college loan business. $1.5 trillion deficits per year, a record number of Americans on food stamps & 99 weeks of unemployment is not too little gov't. This President is divisive, & petty, it's always someone else's fault, not his. Obama calls for socialism in this speech-is he watching Europe?

@BlackRepublican2010 Stop making sense! But to be honest, I couldn't have said it better! Kudos!

Proof that Mr Obama is a Marxist -- just listen and compare to Karl Marx writings..

[smowkdaddy]

Obummer! How dare you dictate what society shoud pay! Thats what Joseph Stalin and Hitler did!

I'm for everyone paying a fair flat tax. Not the government trying to be fair. And robbing from the rich to feed the poor. Barack obama is a socialist. His policies undermine our constitution and American individualism. Ron paul 2012
