Obama to Plumber “Spread the Wealth Around”
Over the weekend a plumber who states he already has too many tax burdens quizzed Barrack Obama on his economic policies on how he would help get the economy back into shape. The plumber who already complained that he doesn’t think it is fair to be taxed for chasing the American dream.
Obama responded with his views on how he doesn’t want to tax anybody who doesn’t make more than 250k per year, and assist those who don’t. He said that he would like to “Spread the Wealth Around”. His responses were captured on video and the McCain camp who has already been claiming that Obama’s views have been socialist in nature jumped at the opportunity to rebuke this method.
McCain spokesman Michael Goldfarb said in a written statement to FOXNews.com. “In contrast, John McCain’s goal as president will be to let the American people prosper unburdened by government and ever higher taxes.”
Obama has rebutted those economic ideas by saying that tax breaks for the wealthy would truly not have a trickle down effect to middle class America.
To be fair, I would have to agree with that statement. I do not believe that providing those with more money tax breaks would help stimulate the economy as much as by helping those who are working hard but barely getting by. I don’t believe that we should be helping those who do not make an effort to help themselves, but for those who are hard workers who have been doing their best but cannot get by those are the ones who should have the help.
I can’t see many people coming from rich neighborhoods to go into poorer neighborhoods to consume goods on a regular basis. I also don’t see much of an economic boom even if it does provide a few extra jobs here or there.
I have to disagree with both candidates on this view as I don’t think they have nailed the issue with how to resolve the economic problems that we are facing in the future. It is going to take a lot more to right this ship.
