— Over five thousand years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel, “Pick up your shovels, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the Promised Land.”
Nearly 75 years ago, (when Welfare was introduced) Roosevelt said, “Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a Camel, this is the Promised Land.”
Today, the Government has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price of Camels and mortgaged the Promised Land… to China. —
That pretty much sums it up there chuckmann.
And it's still not enough.
This is the message the great orator delivered to the CBC Saturday. What a great leader.
"Take off your bedroom slippers, put on your marching shoes."
Obama insisted that having "the folks who have benefited the most ... pay their fair share" in taxes must be part of any solution, adding, "This is all about fairness."
Sounds more like Rvvvvvrrrnd Jackson than the president.
Chicago's current population stands at a level last seen in 1920 as the Tribune's editorial page recently pointed out, as over 200,000 citizens deserted the city between 2000-10 according to the US Census.
As long as he continues to bury our economy in rules and regulations such as the ongoing debacle known forever as ObamaCare, he appears well on his way to surpassing Jimmy Carter as our worst President ever, although I didn't think that such an 'accomplishment' would be possible.
OTOH, Carter was never referred to as 'President Pessimism' or 'The Food Stamp President' either.
I am truly surprise that the Black Community even support President Obama . High Black Unemployment and Underemployment. If President would enforce our boarders and be pro business we would not have these problems.
The fact is the Black community is still in the same place and they watch as jobs are given to Illegals and our industry is taxed to the point the minimum staff. Its no wonder they ask fro15.00 per hour at McDonalds.
People prefer being told things they like to hear. It's a lot nicer to be told that your problems aren't your fault and that somebody is going to fix your problems for you. That's what Democrats do. You deserve a living wage at your job, even if your job is digging ditches. Single mothers are heroes, even if giving birth out of wedlock is the single largest factor in childhood poverty. You are the victim of predatory loans, even if you voluntarily signed a mortgage you knew you had no means of repaying. We will invest in education, even if there has never been any demonstrated correlation between money spent and quality of education. We will make the rich pay their fair share, even though the rich already pay 70% of income taxes. Gun control will make our streets safer, even though areas with strict controls do not have any less statistically significant violence than areas without any gun control. You deserve more money because women are paid 77 cents on the dollar to men, even though the bureau of labor statistics found no wage gap attributable to gender. It goes on and on. And whenever their policies fail to deliver the results they promised, the Democrats simply blame Republicans for obstructing progress.
So it's no mystery why black people support Obama. He appeals to their emotions at the outset and blames the dismal outcomes on his political opponents, with promises that if they just vote for him again this time they can make a real difference. Democrats have human nature on their side. It's human nature to want your problems to be someone else's fault, to want to take the easy way out, to want other people to do things for you. The Republican message is that the world is not an easy place and you need to work to get ahead. That message is the truth, but it doesn't sound as pretty as the progressives' social justice claptrap.
