They are thinking about all of the WALL STREET ceos who made unseemly amounts of money. Do you think they feel sorry that such wealth will be redistributed? When times are good and people think they will move up the ladder and be wealthy,they would be receptive to not redidtributing the wealth.When that hopE has been destroyed they are more concerned about survicing than becomimg rich.
This is pretty much the stupidest “rationale” anyone could have for voting for Obama. First of all, if those CEOs didn’t exist, how would the money they made even come into existence? Do you have any understanding at all of capital markets and how they allocate resources? Do you think if Lehman Brothers never existed there would be billions and billions of dollars to build schoolhouses? Seriously, anyone who thinks that is an idiot of the highest magnitude.
Secondly, how exactly does Obama’s plan, which likely involves hiring thousands of bureaucrats to enforce, make it more likely that people will “survive”? If you take all of that CEO money and parcel it out to pay the salaries of thousands of bureaucrats, how much do you think is going to be left over for “helping people survive”?
God, think for a second about what you are saying before saying it. For Christ sakes, “wealth redistribution” only works for the people who get government jobs that otherwise wouldn’t exist. If your grand ambition in life is to work for the government, by all means, vote for Obama, but the fact that he’s promising people something he can’t deliver and they are eating it up without thinking through the logic of the situation is definitely a bad sign. Because when it doesn’t work, and his plans won’t work in any sense that Americans have traditionally understood plans to “work”, he’ll go looking for someone to blame and then it will get ugly.
I wish “the rich” had more influence over politics in this country, then we wouldn’t get these retarded politicians like Obama promising stuff that can’t be delivered and we’d have some realism in policy-making. And don’t give me the example of Warren Buffett, who clearly has motivations beyond financial in backing Obama. This is the same Warren Buffett that says the stock market is the best place to obtain wealth, yet doesn’t seem to be leading the charge to privatize Social Security, which is the greatest wealth-stealing program in the country (if you weren’t lucky enough to be born before 1970, that is).
