It's true that Obama's answer is more socialistic, like the video stated. However, such a system of taxation is already in place in the US; Obama just wants to tweak the tax levels a bit from what they are right now.

And the video's claims to the Obamas and Bidens donating very little make a lot of sense when you consider how much money they actually have. Obama's net worth is $800,000 (net worth = all your assets (e.g. house) - all your liabilities (e.g. mortgages)). And Biden currently is the poorest Senator in Congress. Compare that to McCain's net worth of $42 million (not including his wife's $100 million inheritance) and Palin's $1-million-plus net worth. I'm not saying wealth is bad; I'm just saying that the amount Obama and Biden donate to charity makes sense considering how much money they actually have. Here's an article detailing the figures.

I always felt that the government has VERY LITTLE right to progressively tax. i feel that in order to strengthen our military and advance our technology, a progressive taxing system is necessary, but with all the useless government spending it has made, it's because irresponsible and tyrannical. both parties are responsible for this because they have so many ideological views on how money should be spent. Although, i wouldn't want the Libertarians taking over... cause government spending (especially on security) is very necessary.

spreading the wealth though, very against. i don't think someone's hard earn money should be spent on other people. yes, we shouldn't let people starve to death if they have jobs, but we shouldn't also be redistributing wealth like Obama wants to do.

Of course a Socialist like Obama believes that the Government has the right to distribute people's taxes, but he is so full of shit when he says this. America is not a Socialist contry, it is run on a Democratic basis where everyone has equal oportunity in participating in government and everyone has equal opportunity to live the American dream. "Spreading the wealth" takes away the American dream from all those who have worked their asses off and earned to live the American dream. There is a reason that people with lower incomes get what they make: they didn't care enough to make it so that they could make more. Everyone should pay equal taxes and it isn't the government's right to decide who gets more money.

Honestly if Obama becomes president I will be scared for the lifestyle I have become accustumed to live in because my family makes enough money that we will have to "spread" our wealth however because of certain expenses we are experiencing (one child going to an Ivy League college) we just simply will not be able to handle this immense tax increase and still live in the luxery that I have grown up with. So anyone who supports Obama should look into deapth about what this one little belief of his does to their lifestyle first before election days.
