Obama loves to hold a man back
President Obama told Wall Street yesterday that “I do think at a certain point, you’ve made enough money.” Flippin’ WHAT?!? Are you kidding me? And what point is that? During the campaign, $250k was a convenient line of demarcation. But as we’ve all seen from Obamacare, that line of crossed, and numerous, onerous taxes have been and will be levied against those making less than $250k. So is the new line of demarcation between “not enough” and “too much” $200k? And is there a point where you are making “the right amount?”
I can see some major shake-ups in the world of finance on the horizon, and as a results-orented citizen-soldier (Marine, actually), I’m literally fearful. So many of us have worked hard to establish financial independence and set conditions for our children so that maybe they would be able to start life on a higher step than we did.
Obama and his liberals want to level the playing field, but that leveling action results in a lower overall level than if we just left the system alone. I have to hearken back to the movie The Incredibles when the bad guy responds to Mr. Incredible’s ubiquitous “Why?” with “…because if everyone’s a ‘super,’ then NO one’s a ‘super’.”
Only a person with the inalienable right to life can determine what is the right amount of money to make. If a person believes that they themselves are making too much, then there are plenty of charities ready to receive the excess.
