This reminds me of how they push for the "rich" to pay more in taxes, but at the same time exercise every legal advantage to pay the lowest taxes possible themselves - or in the case of Tim Geithner, are incapable of properly paying what they owe in taxes.The Annoyed Man wrote: That's one of the big motivators behind liberal thinking. They want to be charitable because it makes them feel good, but they want it to cost someone else, not themselves. Which means that they completely miss the point of charity. "Here, let me give you some money" means not nearly the same as "Here, let me give you his money."
Liberals. You could almost laugh at their antics if they weren't so dangerous to the economy or our natural God-given rights.
The "you didn't build that" mantra is a way to help promote the collectivist ideology. Since we all helped make you successful, we can glom on to your success and wealth - upward and onward with the legal plunder (or "Forward" as Obama puts it). Frederic Bastiat knew Obama and his ilk before Obama did.
