Obama: You're selfish if you don't want higher taxes

Karl Marx on Private Property:

“The theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property”  Karl Marx

“In one word, you reproach us with intending to do away with your property. Precisely so; that is just what we intend.”  Karl Marx

“You must, therefore, confess that by “individual” you mean no other person than the bourgeois, than the middle-class owner of property. This person must, indeed, be swept out of the way, and made impossible.”  Karl Marx

“The proletariat will use its political supremacy to wrest, by degree, all capital from the bourgeoisie, to centralize all instruments of production in the hands of the state… Of course, in the beginning, this cannot be effected except by means of despotic inroads on the rights of property”   Karl Marx

Barak Obama is a Marxist because he believes that the all-powerful Socialist State owns your labor, and therefore your property. Hand it over. Like a giant and tyrannical Robin Hood, the Socialist Masters will redistribute your wealth and property to those classes deemed worthy by the Socialist State. What class are you in, and is it the class favored by Barak Obama and the Socialist State?

“The history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles.”  Karl Marx

Barak Obama will also see to it that eventually the all-powerful Socialist State has all the guns. Hand them over too.
 

American Founding Fathers on Private Property:

“The personal right to acquire property, which is a natural right, gives to property, when acquired, a right to protection, as a social right.”  James Madison

“The rights of persons, and the rights of property, are the objects, for the protection of which Government was instituted.”  James Madison

“Where an excess of power prevails, property of no sort is duly respected. No man is safe in his opinions, his person, his faculties, or his possessions.”  James Madison

“Property is surely a right of mankind as real as liberty.”  John Adams

“Property must be secured, or liberty cannot exist.”    John Adams

“Now what liberty can there be where property is taken without consent?”    Samuel Adams

“Among the natural rights of the Colonists are these: First, a right to life; Secondly, to liberty; Thirdly, to property; together with the right to support and defend them in the best manner they can.”  Samuel Adams

“In the general course of human nature, a power over man’s substance amounts to a power over his will.”    Alexander Hamilton

“In a free government almost all other rights would become worthless if the government possessed power over the private fortune of every citizen.”    Chief Justice John Marshall

“To take from one because it is thought that his own industry and that of his father’s has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association–the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.”    Thomas Jefferson

“Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have … The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases.”  Thomas Jefferson

“The true foundation of republican government is the equal right of every citizen in his person and property and in their management.”   Thomas Jefferson

“Take not from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned.”  Thomas Jefferson

“The Constitution of most of our states, and of the United States, assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed and that they are entitled to freedom of person, freedom of religion, freedom of property, and freedom of press.”  Thomas Jefferson
 
“A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest.  The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation.  To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property, and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means.”  Thomas Jefferson
 
“Property is the fruit of labor…property is desirable…is a positive good in the world. That some should be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another; but let him labor diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built.”  Abraham Lincoln

Selfishness?……no one gave most of any handouts. What bs.

The lazy will benefit and less people will have the desire to work harder to better themselves or the country.

To my mind this quote is clearly making the point that supporters of McCain are intrinsically selfish. He doesn’t say it outright but that is the underlying message surely.  Its heavily implied.

Yet when I made this point on another blog – i.e., that Obama was accusing McCain and his supports of being selfish – I was roundly condemned as making it up. The quote was published by somone else on the site and I was told it didn’t imply what I said.

I gave up and logged off. What’s the point of debating with an osterich who chooses to shoved its head up its own backside???
