Obama clearly paraphrasing Marx:

[lostinblue 1,989]

I do not want, and I will not accept a deal in which I am asked to do nothing. In fact, I am able to keep hundreds of thousands of dollars in additional income that I don't need, while, uh, a parent out there who is struggling to figure out how to send their kid to college suddenly finds, uh, that they've got a couple thousand dollars less in grants or student loans. That's what the revenue debate is about." -Barack Obama, July 11, 2011

Where does this concept of people "needing" only some of their property come from?

"In a higher phase of communist society, after the enslaving subordination of the individual to the division of labor, and therewith also the antithesis between mental and physical labor, has vanished; after labor has become not only a means of life but life's prime want; after the productive forces have also increased with the all-around development of the individual, and all the springs of co-operative wealth flow more abundantly-only then can the narrow horizon of bourgeois right be crossed in its entirety and society inscribe on its banners: From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs!"

-Karl Marx, Critique of the Gotha Program, 1875

I wonder who will be the arbiter of what property and wealth each of us "needs"? I would kindly invite Obama to begin with me. Please tell me which of my assets I "need", and which of my assets I do not need, and thus should be forcibly confiscated by the Internal Revenue Service and redistributed to someone more worthy of them. And when you're done doing that, please tell me again what a horrible, greedy fat-cat I am because I'm not hiring and am paralyzed with terror at the thought of taking on new debt to finance expansion.

I feel bad for Obama. When the history books are written (in each case the author is a RWN) all his quotes are going to be purposely filled with "uhs" and "ums"...

Uh-oh... from yet another crazy corner of the RWN blogosphere cometh... more conspiracies. Men, defend your women from the Communist Horde coming your way.
