Preaching the Gospel of Redistribution


Behold Michelle Obama’s $6800 jacket! Please note that $6,800 is enough money to feed 40,000 hungry children.

Here's a comment from the Obama fan club:
she has the money to buy nice things, why shouldn’t she? she’s married to the president of the united states of america. what does her having an expensive jacket have to do with starving children? is her buying that jacket taking food out of peoples mouthes? no, it isn’t. what, is she supposed to deny the things she wants because somewhere people are starving? i all of the stars she supposed to single handedly feed all of the starving children?

no, she isn’t, it’s not her responsibility.
This is a remarkably laissez-faire statement to have come from an Obama apologist.

Newsflash: The Obamas and their allies aren't libertarians.

Awkwardly alluding to Genesis, the first book of the Bible, Barack Obama has said that we should be “Living by the principle that we are our brother's keeper, caring for the poor and those in need.”

But Obama’s biological brother lives in Kenya on $12 a year

Obama also said, “I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”

Just to be clear, Obama is not talking about voluntary charitable redistribution.

But as they spread their insidious Gospel of Coercive Redistribution, the Obamas pile the riches of our capitalist society upon themselves.
