Obama: punish the rich, punish us all

I like to review the bloggers who have visited my blog or the folks who have clicked over to Conservative Beach Girl from someone else's blog. This is fun and I meet new bloggers all of the time. Well, here's one for all of us. The blog is House of Eratosthenes and the particular post that caught my eye today was Other Art Forms. For me, the post falls nicely in the category of "You can fool all of the people all of the time" and they may or may not be drinking the koolaide. The technique depends on a smooth verbal address with nice - couched meaning phrases - that just flow like silk off of the speaker's tongue and slip into our ears.

I wonder when the American people will begin to walk out of the haze and platitudes that are blinding us. You see, when the government "punishes" the rich, there is no need to aspire to reach higher levels of accomplishment, no need for the American Dream, and punishing the rich, punishes all of us from the folks who produce products the rich buy to the folks who maintain the rich folks yachts, cater their parties, make their furniture, and on it goes to the folks who the rich hire or the companies the rich create that employ hundreds of Americans. Want to see unemployment rise - yes, says the government - then punish the rich... Punish the rich and the government punishes us all while Obama rises from president to csar...
