Obama's Income Equality

Social Justice/Income Equality in a nutshell

Let's set the scenario.  

The folks who are getting free stuff don’t like the folks who are paying for the free stuff because the folks who are paying for the free stuff are sick and tired of being forced by the government to pay for the free stuff. 

So, Obama tells  the people who are receiving the free stuff that the people who are paying for the free stuff are being mean, prejudiced, selfish and racist. So the people who are getting the free stuff have been convinced they need to hate the people who are paying for both the free stuff and their own stuff because the folks who are paying for the free stuff want the free stuff to stop.

You see, the people paying for the free stuff are apparently under the absurd belief that the money being confiscated by the government to pay for the free stuff is actually theirs since they worked for it.  But the folks who are getting the free stuff want even more free stuff on top of the free stuff that they’re getting already!

So Obama tells the people who are getting the free stuff that the only way to make sure that they keep getting the free stuff is to vote for him and he'll make sure that the evil people who are paying for the free stuff pay their fair share so that he'll be able to  give them even more free stuff.

"A democracy will
continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they
can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.
From that moment on, the majority always votes for the
candidates who promise the most benefits from the public
treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally
collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed
by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest
civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about
200 years."

—Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor, 1787
