And people are buying it, just like they bought Clinton's "worst economy in 50 years" crap.

this one is not going to help the investor class and the investor
class, obviously, that wealth disparity is not quite what it was a year
ago."

and 50 million households are in the "investor class."

"Some of the Wall Street guys that are supporting Obama, they all tell
me the same thing: He's got to stay here right now to win the election.
He's smart, he's going to move to the center like Clinton did and this
tax proposal, he's not really going to do any of these things. That's
all the way [sic] they rationalize this plan

Another Clinton tactic.

President Clinton kept all the promises that he intended to keep - George Stephanopoulos

McCain should have spent the entire evening on the "share the wealth with the people behind you" thing.  He should have pressed Obama on exactly what he meant by "share the wealth".   Is this where the money for tax credits is coming from?  From Joe the Plumber?   Hey, Joe has more than enough.  Let's give some of Joe's income to this guy over here who's in the market for a plasma tv but can't quite afford it.

And "why don't we let Joe the Plumber's company and it's employees (e.g., "the people behind you") negotiate directly on matters concerning compensation, rather than having Obama and the govt getting involved."

Very telling how enraged the left-wing blogosphere is over the whole "Joe the Plumber" incident.   They don't like this little development ONE BIT. And the comment itself speaks volumes about Obama. 

The reason Joe the Plumber is not huge is because much of the country is not wanting to be Joe the Plumber business owner. They are more interested in getting their free benefits from the government. 

Innovation, honesty, hard work and excellence in service are used by a motivated individuals, in order to surpass their competition. Obama clearly showed his ignorance about American capitalism as well as human motivation when he said: "It's not that I want to punish your success," I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they've got a chance for success, too ... When you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."

The last thing that this plumber wants is for his competition to have an advantage that he never had nor needed. He got where he is today by working harder, smarter, longer and better than those behind him. He wants them to continue to be behind him, that's how he gets ahead. Staying ahead is what motivates him to get up earlier than his competition, work longer than his competition, and offer a better value than his competition.

If the guy behind “Joe the plumber” wants a chance at success, all he has to do is to wake up earlier than Joe, work harder than Joe, be more innovative than Joe, hire better employees than Joe and offer his customers a better value than Joe. Joe knows this, and that is what motivates him to “walk the extra mile”. Millions of people like Joe, who walk the extra mile, is what has brought America the prosperity that we now enjoy. Obama is asking people like Joe to share the wealth, without asking others to share the risk, sacrifice, talent and priorities. Taxing a man's sacrifices, hopes, dreams and ambitions and giving the money to those who are less ambitious and averse to risk, is tantamount to larceny. It can also crush one's spirit.

Spreading the Wealth Vs. Creating Wealth.

Any other year, hmm? Current headline at Drudge:

GALLUP SHOCK:� 49 OBAMA, 47 MCCAIN WITH LIKELY VOTERS

Obama's Economic plan: more taxes, more spending, more regulation. Prosperity here we come.

His liberal bias is off the charts. I work for a brokerage firm where CNBC is on all day, so I can't avoid it. He is constantly pushing the climate alarmist agenda, admits getting his political news from CNN, and is generally a condescending ass.
