This is from Wednesday night’s Democratic debate where Obama was asked a question about raising the Capital Gains Tax.

Barack Obama just admitted on camera in front of the entire country that he would raise taxes on 100 million Americans in order to get revenge on 50 people who had the nerve to make a whole lot of money last year. It doesn’t matter that raising the tax would hinder economic growth. It doesn’t matter that the a large portion of those 100 million Americans include middle class folks like you and me. It’s all about “fairness.” It’s not fair that these people were successful in their investments. Does Barack Obama think it’s fair when that when that hedge fund manager’s secretary sells some stock to put her kid through college that she’ll have to pay a 28% capital gains tax on it? His response is not the answer I expect from a Presidential candidate. This is the answer I would expect from a 12 year old kid on a playground.

Taxes are there to fund the basic functions of government. Barack Obama would use them to punish people whose fortunes and lifestyles he personally disagrees with. This is not someone that should be anywhere near the White House, let alone a U.S. Senator or have involvement in any level of government whatsoever. His attitude is anti-American and destructive. This man is no brilliant genius or some messiah of change. He is just another angry, class warfare Marxist repackaged in a pretty label, typical of the kind of candidate the far left keeps putting up to pull this country down.
