Pay the worker.

Pay the worker. Interesting that this President assumes it’s his business to tell private firms what they should be paying their CEOs. Where is that power given to him in the Constitution? Who’s next? As we have minimum wages, perhaps we should have maximum wages, too. Since the President is the most important human being on the planet (just ask him), no one should make more than His Arrogance ($400,000). What do you suppose would be the result of setting such a wage ceiling? The problem is that once you reach that wage, you stop innovating. You stop demanding more of yourself and your business. Once you’ve maxed out your income, your drive and ambition plateau. You don’t expand or take risks and you don’t create new jobs.

I’m sure the President would love to implement a wage ceiling. He wants us to have fewer expectations, less wealth, less influence and a lower standard of living. How do I know this? All over the world he apologizes for our wealth and success. During the campaign he routinely complained that we greedy SOBs are only 5% of the world’s population, and yet we consume 25% of its resources. I think it’s fair to assume that he wants to lower our standard of living. Now, he won’t implement an actual wage ceiling, but, like FDR, I believe he’ll tax the crap out of anyone who dares to be successful and productive in this society.

I find this video enlightening. The writer has the audacity to demand that he be paid for his work – After all, who has a right to insist that he should work for free? His rant (and excuse the language) resonates with me because this is exactly what all these socialists demand from us. They would subjugate us and enslave us as laborers of the state. $1.4 trillion this year in debt. Another $1.4 trillion is forecast for next year. This is on top of the $12 trillion we already owe and the looming train wreck of the entitlement programs (which he would accelerate with the addition of another massive entitlement). How will we ever pay for Washington’s greed and recklessness? It will be on the backs of those of us who work, who save, and sacrifice and who have played by the rules. Make no mistake about it, Obama believes that we should work for the common good and not for ourselves; He’s a Marxist after all. And he’s purposefully driving us into further and further into debt, because he knows that ultimately it will mean that punitive taxes will be necessitated and that the rich will be soaked with something like the 91% tax rate imposed from 1942-1964, the equivalent of a wage ceiling. Dear Leader has no interest in growing the private sector or increasing our standard of living; Only in expanding the size and reach of the federal establishment. Who’s the greedy SOB now?

"This year the Congressional Budget Office projects that we’ll add an additional $1.58 trillion to the $11,957,539,759,846.49 we already owe." Visit DefeatTheDebt.com for more information.
