Obama: Rich Can Afford To Give Back A Little Bit More

[theinvektor]

Obama is right. Financial speculation or inherited fortunes AREN'T labor, that's why we can tax it even with 99%, if needed. People cannot just sit and become more and more rich without working, while other are working more and more hardly and becoming more and more indebted and poor. It's simply out of logic.

@theinvektor Do you have any idea what "work" is? You automatically assume that because someone isn't out in a field looking like Aunt Jemima, carrying sacks of cotton on their backs, that they somehow aren't "working".

If you can DEFINE "working", then we can begin to have a LOGICAL discussion. And please, use a dictionary based in jurisprudence or objective reasoning. We don't get to create new definitions for words just because we "feel" a certain way. That would be ILLOGICAL

Mr. Obama, all those investments you speak of are unconstitutional. End of story. And get that sick idea out of your head that somehow, by some perverted logic, certain groups of people are entitled to the fruits of other people's labor. I thought this was a free country!
