Obama: People who earn more are merely "Society's lottery winners"

You didn't build that!!

Right. The roads, the schools, the infrastructure. You sure as hell didn't.

Yup....
Their tax dollars sure as hell did....
They built their business and they helped build the infrastructure with their taxes.....

So another instance where Obama was talking out his butt....

Again....so did everyone else. Even people who don't own businesses. Even janitors....and teachers....and nurses. We all did that. You fucking dishonest shit.

How cute! the little C-FAGer is getting all worked up!!

you go girl!!

:popcorn:

That's a wrap. Zander the millionaire will now return to his mansion.

That's "multi-millioniare" to you C-FAG! And it's not a mansion....just a well maintained, mortgage free home in a great neighborhood. :thup:

You really should read this book, you might learn something about the wealthy .......The Millionaire Next Door The Surprising Secrets of America s Wealthy Thomas J. Stanley William D. Danko 9781589795471 Amazon.com Books

:rofl:
 
Instead of praising people for building a business and contributing to a community Obama chose to mock them....
I guess he would prefer they depend on government assistance to survive.

I felt enough praise from him. I also didn't get offended by his speaking the truth.

So....what did Obama say that business owners did not build? How about it? Are you finally ready to put that lame assed talking point to bed?

He clearly said they didn't build their business....
Someone else did...
And you backed Obama up....

Still lying? What a bummer. Can't get you to be honest. It's an anonymous forum, dummy. Admit your dishonesty.
 
Keep an eye on Mac1958. He'll trot this out every chance he gets and never admit that he is taking it out of context, much like the you didn't build that nonsense. All the while pretending he is non-partisan.
I'd like to add two new marginal tax tiers, 44.9% and 49.9%. Across the board. Oops!

Did you think you "had" me there? Wanna try again?

My politics are clearly too complicated for run-of-the-mill hardcore partisan ideologues like you. I'm used to it, I know how you people are.

And your fixation on me is getting a little creepy.

.
Oh, that's why you keep misrepresenting what Obama says.

But hey, if you feel anonymous Posters are fixated on you just say the word and I will stop laughing at you.

There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me — because they want to give something back. They know they didn’t — look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something — there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there. [Emphasis added]

He continued:

If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet. [Emphasis added]


If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.

I rest my case....

"That".....is roads and bridges. The great American system. An educated workforce. The internet. It is not your business he was referring to.

But.....you know that already. You just find it more interesting to pretend that you don't. At this point....you are just lying.

You shouldn't rest your case until you admit that you are lying.

Not all, some of them work harder, pay attention in class and have good ideas. ;) Probably around 60% fall into this class of people...The other 40% got lucky to have a rich dad, uncle, etc.

The other 40% got lucky to have a rich dad, uncle, etc

In Venezuela, Cuba, China, Russia, Mexico, Nigeria, you need to be part of the 1 percent to have what the 40% have here in this country. In terms of the 60% you site, there is no opportunity unless you are part of the 1%. That said, why the fuck would any politician site these economies has something we should emulate?

So why did you fail?
Hello?
 
President Obama referred yesterday to the wealthy as "society's lottery winners", as though the only reason they were wealthy is because they got lucky one time. No mention of years of training, hard work, risks, 20-hour workdays, failure, recovery, and eventual success.

It's just more of the same attempt to pretend there's nothing wrong with taking they money and resources from those who earned them.

Private people who do this are called "thieves", and are prosecuted and jailed as they deserve.

Public people who do the same are called "liberals", and are immune from the prosecution and jail terms they deserve.

Keying on poverty Obama suggests high earners hit lottery

Keying on poverty, Obama suggests high earners hit 'lottery'

By Angela Greiling Keane BLOOMBERG NEWS
Updated today at 4:03 a.m.

WASHINGTON -- Unless Democrats and Republicans can agree to raise taxes on the earnings of hedge-fund and private-equity managers, there is little chance the nation can make a meaningful dent in poverty, President Barack Obama said Tuesday.

Obama, whose long-standing proposal to raise taxes on what is known as carried interest has gained little traction in Congress, said fairness demands that the nation's wealthiest pitch in as more and more Americans are falling behind.

"If I were able to close that loophole, I'd be able to invest in early-childhood education," Obama said Tuesday. "If we can't ask from society's lottery winners to make that modest investment, then really this conversation is for show."

The president has often said the wealthiest Americans must make sacrifices to better life for poorer people. In addition to urging higher taxes for investment managers, he questioned whether the pay of some corporate chief executives is justified.
Your thread title is incorrect, YOU added the word ''MERELY'', which changes the meaning/emphasis of what he actually said...
 
Keep an eye on Mac1958. He'll trot this out every chance he gets and never admit that he is taking it out of context, much like the you didn't build that nonsense. All the while pretending he is non-partisan.
I'd like to add two new marginal tax tiers, 44.9% and 49.9%. Across the board. Oops!

Why do you think punishing success is a good strategy?

Why do you think a nation can run on no revenue?

The national government has revenue. How much revenue do you think it should have?
