Obama Would Rather Punish Success Than Increase Revenue

Candidate Obama is way in over his head while trying to explain his resentful philosophy.
Then Obama steps a big puddle of hypocrisy: "I believe in the principle that you pay as you go ... and you don't increase spending unless you're eliminating some spending or you're finding some new revenue."

 IBD Editorials- On April 1, Japan lowered its corporate tax rate, leaving the U.S. with the highest corporate levy in the developed world. That much is well known. What is lesser known, but no less true, is that much of the world is astonished by the lack of U.S. will to preserve its international competitiveness.

As Mieko Nakabayashi, a member of Japan's House of Representatives recently observed, "With most of the world — Japan included — cutting corporate tax rates and employing territorial tax systems to remain competitive, the U.S. must surely know that its hesitancy to do these things is handing the advantage to its international competitors. They will suffer from that hesitancy while we and others outside the U.S. will benefit."

This is not a problem of our tax rate going up. Rather, it's a case of the U.S. standing still while our trading partners jockey to create the most attractive business environment.[...] -->Read more

"Most people will go about their affairs oblivious to the day’s significance because the day has no significance to them. We reserve holidays for days that are holy. A holiday invented by a politician seems more of an ephemeral reelection scam than an enduring rite of reflection.

"Environmentalism begins with hygiene. This is lost on activists eschewing deodorant as a pollutant, showers as water wasters, and toilet paper as a luxury the planet can ill afford. Lacking the initial building block of a clean Earth—a clean body—environmentalists fail in their loftier goals. You can’t attract people by repulsing them.

"The people expected to celebrate Earth Day are denigrated by it. This most explains the day’s insignificance. Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson founded Earth Day in 1970. He spent much of his remaining thirty-five years proclaiming that we could save the planet only by decimating its inhabitants. Naturally, people didn’t take to this anti-people position. Only an idea so screwy could make something as popular as the Earth so controversial a subject.

"“By the time he died in 2005 at the age of 89, Nelson had become deeply disappointed with the wholesale retreat of the environmental establishment from advocating limits to population growth,” recalled Leon Kolankiewicz, an environmental scientist who worked closely with Earth Day’s founder. To this end, Nelson advocated abortion, governmentally-organized family planning, and severe immigration restrictions. The founder of Earth Day’s overriding message was that there were too many people." -->Read more
