  • Hey, where did you get that spooky music that you put after every one of Obamas sentences? I just want to know cause there's someone I also want people to think is bad, and I need spooky music to help convince them as well. Thanks in advance.

  • You are completely WRONG..those that dn't pay fed taxes get tax credits in the form of a check...a check for doing absolutely nothing

  • Here's where you can her the entire interview in context. Google:

    chicago public radio blog barack obama's radio days

    It helps to get a better understanding of the context, instead of freaking out about cherry-picked soundbites that are intended to inflame the debate.

  • loool, "redistribution of wealth"

    it did'nt work for Russia...

    can someone explain to me why the US is tolerating a crypto communist president?

  • oh man ... lol .... 'HE'S REJECTING THE ACTIVISM OF THE COURTS" .... the loon was saying that he couldn't pull it off, not that he WOULDN'T ... nut job ... if this is what they're teaching in "con law" classes at community college, God help us all ...

  • OMG I was going to vote for this guy, no way now.

  • aaronmortrud: "Why should people that pay ZERO tax get a check (which is what Obama has proposed) and someone that pays $40,000 per year in tax have to pay even more?"

    If I could afford to pay $40,000 in taxes, I'd gladly do it. Do you know how much you'd have to be making to have that kind of a tax burden? Certainly more income than anybody here who's complaining about that tax burden!

  • Typical lawyer-ese. I'm just not comfortable with this guy and never will be. Race has absolutely nothing to do with it. I work hard for my money and I want to decide what I do with it!

  • This is sliced and diced right wing crap. The man is making complex legal statements. When he uses the term "spread the wealth around" that's idiomatic-speak for bottom-up, progressive taxation- the OPPOSITE of of trickle-ON taxation which says REDISTRIBUTE THE WEALTH UP to the rich and then hope they'll do right by the rest of us. The right wingers are the REAL "socialists", or should I say "fascists" who believe in robbing from the middle and working classes to give to the RICH.

  • actually, the tax cuts only affect those who pay taxes. so if they "dont pay into the tax base" they dont get rebates.
