Communism and sharing our kindergarten toys

As John McCain correctly labels Barack Obama's tax plan as socialism, Obama cracks lame jokes in an effort to deflect the well-placed criticism.

" . . . You know, the next thing I know, they're going to, you know, find evidence of my communistic tendencies because I shared my toys when I was in kindergarten, because I split my peanut butter and jelly sandwich with my friend in sixth grade."

Once again Barack Obama shows his misunderstanding of basic economic principles. If you 'split your peanut butter and jelly sandwich' with your friend, little Barry, that would be called charitable giving, something neither you or Joe Biden really participate in despite your wealth and desire to help all the little people. (check out the numbers here and here).

Now, if little Barry decided that he should be in charge of who got the toys and ran around taking Tommy's toys and Lisa's toys and giving them to Spencer and Brian, then we would think you were a communist in Kindergarten.

Funny image...not a funny concept. That's exactly what he's proposing to do by raising the tax on the rich and sending checks to Americans who currently pay no taxes. That's right, he wants to take money from those who 'have' and give to those who 'have not' and currently don't contribute anything to the federal government, when he and Joe Biden give significantly less as a percentage of their income than the average, middle-income household, or than their tax bracket gives. Apparently 'spread the wealth around' means 'force other people to spread their wealth around.'

Ah...little Barry in bell bottoms redistributing toys. I needed a laugh.

Other members of my family were cracking jokes about Obama being Robin Hood. Except, of course, Robin Hood was taking from the overtaxing tyrant and giving it back to the people. In Obama's case, he will by the tyrant taking it from us. No Robin Hood there. More like robbing the hood...
