Barack Obama and his SOCIALIST zombies seem to have an obsession with “fairness”, so let’s apply that term to Obamacare and taxes, just to be fair. First, we make ALL taxes ‘FLAT taxes. Every taxpayer in America pays a flat 9.75%, NO exemptions. Why 9.75%, you may ask? Because God Himself only asks for 10%! Isn’t this fair? Proportionately, EVERYONE is paying the same, and yet the lower income people will be getting MORE services for their money.
Secondly, we need to remove ALL exemptions to Obamacare: everyone, including unions, Congress, the President, and EVERY federal employee from SCOTUS on down. If Obamacare is good for the ordinary taxpayer, then it should be good enough for those people who live off the taxpayer. That’s fair right?
How about the Democratic-controlled Senate passing an actual budget? Americans could then see where their money is going. This action would be fair because ALL programs would be open to scrutiny. Pass a budget and the two political sides would have a firm foundation for negotiation and compromise, right? What is there to hide by not putting government money requests in writing?
No more negotiating treaties with the United Nations without full disclosure to American citizens first! What is this treaty set up to do? Who will it affect? Does it affect the sovereignty of the United States or its Constitution in any way? Let’s reduce America’s contributions to the United Nations to the median of all nations. We pay our fair share and ONLY our fair share. We do NOT place American troops under the command of any other country ever! This is fair right?
Social Security benefits, upon the death of a spouse, should only be paid to the surviving spouse. No more benefits to send children to college. Before all you bleeding hearts get your Progressive tails in a wringer, answer me this: who paid for the children’s benefits? It certainly didn’t come out of the deceased! Besides, with billions of dollars of endowment money in elite “private institutions” like Harvard, Yale, and on and on, why don’t they set up scholarships for those qualifying children themselves? Why are these places allowed to accumulate so much money and still raise tuition sky- high? Public universities and colleges get government money on top of tuition, and they offer different grants, scholarships, and loans to help with getting a college education. Why does Obama think that a college degree is the be-all, end-all to life’s problems?
How many people today are really working in the fields that they got their degree in? How many are under-employed? Is the expense of a college education really beneficial, or right, for a lot of people? Ask Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerburg! Is it fair that we ask taxpayers to support someone else’s children in college when they can’t even send their own?
Is it fair, Mr. Obama, that you and Progressives expect people who object to abortions to pay for them through their tax dollars? Is it fair, sir, that you expect taxpayers to pay for contraception for others when it is readily and cheaply available almost anywhere? Even truck stops and bars have contraceptives in machines in the bathrooms. If they can’t afford a buck or two, then I guess they can’t afford to have sex either. Is it fair to ask religious organizations to compromise their principle because you want “social justice”?
Do you think it’s fair, Mr. Obama, that you pick and choose which laws you want to enforce merely for political gain? Do you think it’s fair that a young man, serving his country as a border agent, is shot and killed with weapons supplied in a botched gun walking operation while you and your Attorney General stonewall a Congressional inquiry into who was responsible for this badly executed operation? Is that fair to his family. sir?
Is it fair, Mr. Obama, that while this country is suffering from the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, you have time for 100 rounds of golf and a myriad of vacations? Is it fair that Congress gets paid more than three times the median income of average Americans, yet spend only about 145 days a year actually doing something? Is it fair that Congressmen get to go on “junkets” (political speak for vacations) and take their spouses to some pretty exotic places on “fact-finding trips” when most Americans are struggling to put food on their table?
Is it fair, Mr. Obama, that you keep wasting billions of our tax dollars on “green energy” projects while you are deliberately waging “war ” on fossil fuels and causing energy prices to skyrocket at a time when most Americans can least afford them? Is it fair to be putting hundreds of thousands of Americans out of work because of your personal dislike of fossil fuels and your catering to the environmental fascists who want to put us back into caves?
You keep bringing up the word “fair”, Mr. President, but so far, you have NOT been either fair or honest with the American people. Your idea of “fair” is more in line with the Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics. How about National SOCIALISM? You don’t praise the people in this country whose ideas, ingenuity, sacrifice, and hard work make this nation great. You denigrate those who have achieved wealth instead of pointing to them as an example of what one can achieve in this country.
Is it fair that you put the consideration of illegal aliens BEFORE the protection and safety of your own citizens? Is it fair that you and your Senate majority leader are holding up legislation that would help put America back to work just so you can blame the Republicans and gain political points instead of actually doing something? Is it fair that you refuse to answer questions from reporters and instead get mad when you are questioned, sir?
Do you think that it’s fair, Mr. Obama, to believe that the only definition of “fair” is what you and your zombies say it is? Equal opportunity does NOT mean equal outcome! In case you missed it wherever you were born, the sign on the wall said “Life is NOT fair, it is only what you make it!” Do you really believe it is fair to take from people who have worked hard, or have been the recipients of the hard work of those who came before them, and give to other people who refuse to put in the effort? That’s not fair, Mr. Obama; that is theft!
Please stop calling for fairness when you don’t even know what that means. Redistribution of wealth in one form or another ISN”T fair! It isn’t right, nor is it justifiable! When you and your followers start being “FAIR”, then maybe America will have a chance to be great again.If that is NOT what you want for America, then why are you in the White House?

Very well written. You were so right, Obama thinks his definition is the only right one.
you hit the nail on the head
Term limits. No extended benefits either. Keep new blood coming on board and get rid of the cronyism.
Term limits???? We have term limits already! It’s called the vote. The reason its not enforced is because American citizens are to lazy to get the job done.
Term limits on Senators and Congressmen would be a step in the right direction, unfortunately they will never be implemented, why, because Congress would have to approve them and there is no way in h*ll that any member in Congress would approve of them. Take Diane Feinstein for example, she has spent the majority of her senior life as a Senator, Charlie Rangel has lived at the public trough for well over twenty years and has Senator John MC Cain and many other long term Senator’s and Congressmen. that one in the “Millionaire’s Club” will do anything promise their constituents the world, right Nancy Pelosi, give many in your district a pass on Obama-care and the list of “Pork” to get re-elected over and over again, is endless.
Our voting system does not work, all that one has to do is to look at what happened when Al Franken was running for the Senate in 2010. The race was so close that a recount was demanded and a Federal Judge ruled that Franken had won by 312 votes and it was soon later determined that over 500 felons had voted in that election. Without those 500 votes having been counted in Franken’s favor Obama-Care would never have passed, it was Franken’s senate vote that threw Obama-Care over the top.
How may felon and illegal votes were made in the 2008 presidential election, they must have added up to multi-millions. The AG Eric Holder is suing states that want their citizen’s to present photo ID to vote, yet when he spoke recently a=in Houston, anyone wishing to attend had to produce not one form of Government ID, but two forms of Government ID.
It insane to expect to demand photo Government ID to attend a meeting where the “Less” than Honorable AG Eric Holder Jr; speaks and not to require the same to cast a vote for the next president of the United States.
The American people need to ask themselves, what have our elected Representatives done for us lately and they need to remember that when they vote for their choice in either re-electing their representative, or replacing them with someone new. I suspect that the majority of Democratic Senators and Congressmen that are coming up for re-election in 2012 will find themselves being voted out of office, as most if not all of them should be.
Fair is a word for sucker punching your opponent and then giving up to avoid being hit back…..It would be a real treat to remove ourselves from the progressive income tax system we are now locked into, remove the IRS police and then have all Americans and any non citizens all paying a national sales tax, the need to remove social discrimination is a real imperiative to decriminalize the Deemers imperative to keep honorable people under their thumb. Realize this, a national sales tax and very few entitlements would put the Deemers out of business, there would be a budget, a lack of class envy and aspiration to succeed, America would blossom again.
If you want to finnish the job of repairing the government, then term limits salary only and no retirement for all elected and appointed officials. The decertifying of all government unions, defunding or consolidating of gov. agencies and oversight by non politicians so that congress remains the body that makes law not a funded gov agency and the Exec will have a more difficult time issuing mandates, edicts and fiat to try and circumvent standing law, the Judiciary rulings over ridden by lawful petiton if We the People are not agreed…..Repair and maintenance was not meant to be made easy but careful and thoughful.
very good reply, makes me fell like there are really people who get it out there
*** O B U M E R – THE MAGNIFICENT *** thinks he is just what AMERICA needs . Sorry *** B O *** but you are on your way out and *** GOOD RIDDENS *** . Take that bunch of radical ISLAMIC LOVERS with you.
@wpb83481- Sounds like you’re just another Bush apologist. Beginning with Reagan, conservative presidents have engaged in reckless deficit spending with Bush II finishing the job. Want to talk welfare state? How about 16 trillion in unfunded debt for Medicare D? Unfunded wars that didn’t have to be fought. Tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations, and no job growth to show for it. So where are those jobs we’ve paid for over the last 10 years? Your party has screwed the American public over the last 30 years, and it’s time you quit blaming this administration for not cleaning up your mess as quickly as you’d like.
And BTW – this country is screwed and there’s no getting out of it with tax cuts or spending cuts. Obamacare? You haven’t seen anything yet because in the next 30 years there’s going to be 6 retirees for every worker. Healthcare as we know it is dead and gone. It’s all over but the shouting.
