My Plan Will ‘Spread The Wealth Around’
When I saw this video on FNC this morning waiting for Lizzie Rose’s school bus I though, “Holy shit! Ya won’t see that clip on any of the other networks … and might have seen the last of it on FNC …”
Although the above picture is a bit fuzzy frame from the video, the look on the plumber’s face says it all. Which is WHY this video will not be shown on other outlets where small business owners and their employees can see and hear what this Marxist’s plans are for this country and how it’ll effect them and their businesses/jobs.
In order to save site space we are being careful about video repeats so I had posted this video earlier in our video section and you can view it here.
Barack Obama tells a plumber in Ohio he wants to “spread the wealth around,” eliciting criticism that his economic recovery plan is socialist in nature.

Barack Obama told a tax-burdened plumber over the weekend that his economic philosophy is to “spread the wealth around” — a comment that may only draw fire from riled-up John McCain supporters who have taken to calling Obama a “socialist” at the Republican’s rallies.
Obama made the remark, caught on camera, after fielding some tough questions from the plumber Sunday in Ohio, where the Democratic candidate canvassed neighborhoods and encouraged residents to vote early.
“Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn’t it?” the plumber asked, complaining that he was being taxed “more and more for fulfilling the American dream.”
“It’s not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they’ve got a chance for success too,” Obama responded. “My attitude is that if the economy’s good for folks from the bottom up, it’s gonna be good for everybody … I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”
Obama’s remarks drew fresh criticism on the blogosphere that the Illinois senator favors a breed of wealth redistribution.
Obama frequently rails against what he calls a Republican concept that tax breaks for the wealthy will somehow “trickle down” to middle-class Americans.
Obama says he will not raise taxes on anyone making less than $250,000 a year.
However, McCain’s aides and supporters argue that Obama wrongly wants to raise taxes on businesses in a time of economic distress.
Both candidates spent Monday discussing how they would resurrect the ailing economy. McCain again pointed to his plan to buy up cumbersome mortgages from homeowners and renegotiate them. Obama unveiled what he called an economic rescue plan for the middle class, which included a 90-day moratorium on foreclosures.
