How much are we allowed to earn?

"We're not trying to push financial reform because we begrudge success that's fairly earned. I mean, I do think at a certain point you've made enough money." B. H. Obama, Quincy, Ill., April 29, 2010


Just curious, Mr. President, how much am I allowed to earn before it's enough in your view?

Those that have more money than God.....I don't begrudge them a bit.
But what does Mr. Obama mean by 'I do think.....'??? And what tax bracket is he talking about?
The million/billionaires' tax brackets? Or mine? Cuz there's a little difference there.....

That's my question. He clearly feels that people reach a point where they've earned more than their fair share - that some amount of money is "enough". Enough for whom? Who should decide when the money I earn or create is "enough"?

I think he's made more than enough, and should provide the excess (that which I consider excess) to anyone who looks, sounds, and drives like me.

Just more Obama double speak. Just more "I don't know all the facts but, I do know the police acted stupidly..." This guy put all his cards on the table during the campaign with this sort of sugar coated politics as Dixie cup idiotic pabulum and hasn't added a trick, or learned a thing, not that you'd notice, since.

There are all sorts of things he could do to promote a more fair, as he sees it, dispersion (note dispersion, not distribution) of wealth but he is all about government first, last and always. He made that crystal clear during the campaign.

Not the people. The government.
