Obama Promises Free Money Looted from Paralyzed Oil Companies

This should clear up any lingering doubts about whether Obama actually shares the Marxist views of the deranged radicals he's spent his whole life surrounded by:

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on Friday called for a $1,000 "emergency" rebate to consumers to offset soaring energy costs amid fresh signs of a struggling economy with the nation's unemployment rate climbing to a four-year high.
Obama told a town-hall meeting the rebate would be financed with a windfall profits tax on the oil industry.

Ingenious. He wants to give everyone free money to buy oil that he won't let energy companies extract. These same companies will be looted to provide the funds, thereby forcing them to raise prices or go bankrupt. The inevitable next step step: nationalization, à la Hugo Chavez.

His plan to solve the energy crisis by inflating tires was more constructive.

I wish the election was today. I can hardly wait until the Obamassiah starts sending me money.

Why do we have to wait until January for him to take office? In fact, why do we have to wait until he's elected? He should take office immediately, and sign my check.

They're starting the same shit here in the UK, the usual suspects (Polly Toynbee, et al) are lining up to tell the government to tax the "obscene profits" the oil companies are making to "lift the most disadvantaged out of poverty".

Stupid cunts.

Invariably, this will be portrayed as a 'Robin Hood' scheme, i.e. robbing from the rich to give to the poor. However, there is a major difference between What Robin of Loxley did in legend and what Barack of Chicago intends to do. Robin Hood stole mainly from the tax collectors working for the Normans, as well as from the occasional Norman noble foolish enough to venture into Sherwood, and gave it to the Saxon farmers from whom it had been taken in the first place. Obama is going to take even more money from those who produced the wealth, by drilling, pumping, refining and transporting the oil, and giving to those who would vote for him.
Robin Hood was the 'Prince of Thieves'. BHO is simply a thief.

The next time a silly liberal tells you that conservatives are delusional when we warn of socialism and wealth redistribution, remember this one.

OT: a frontline report from Sodom and Gomorrah. Not for the squeamish, or indeed any but the almost impossible to offend, and strong of stomach at that.

Back to the topic of Mr. Obama, The Rules of Socialist Acquisition:

1. To each according to his ability to work the system.
2. Compassion without coercion is useless.
3. Never ask when you can use the government to take.
4. The vast majority of the rich in this galaxy are undertaxed.
5. All we want is what’s yours.
6. Monopoly is evil unless the government runs it.
7. Class envy makes a good running mate.
8. If a government program fails, repeat.
9. Every rake deserves to be stepped on twice.
10. It is critical that the expected “returns” on any “investment” are never defined.
11. Never feed the hungry on an empty stomach.
12. Always know who you’re buying.
13. Exclusive knowledge is power.

Remeber, if you disagree, your a racist who's being paid by the oil company.

In other news, profain rapper Ludacris is about to be thrown under the bus by the Obamassia. In Ludacris' newest hit, he insults Bush, McCain, Hillary, and even Jesse Jackson. He also asks if he can be Barack's running mate. Its funny...in a sad way.

It's not just going to be the oil companies and people who make over $250,000 getting looted either. Beware small businessmen: "tax reform" and "simplification" really means "tax increase".

My taxes are going to go way up if Obama gets his way. Some idiot liberal on one of those FNC business shows just said Obama would be good for small business due to "tax simplification". His plan does call for simplification, but the simplification results in a significant tax increase. It will mean I'd get taxed at the same high rate on ALL of my business income. Under the current rules, I get taxed a little less high on some portions of the profit, but that's to be done away with, and I'm supposed to thank him for it.
