Today we mix a political cartoon with an insightful letter to the editor published Sunday in the Little Rock Arkansas Democrat Gazette and Jonesboro Sun newspaper. While the first make the point with humor, the second is both enlightening and possibly fearful.Oct 27, 2008 Letter to editor by Berniece Evans, Bono, Arkansas: I wonder how Obama intends to fund the proposal in the Global Poverty Act (S.2433) in which Obama is the primary sponsor. This bill would commit the United States to "the reduction of global poverty…and the achievement of the United Nations Millennium Development Goal of reducing by one-half the proportion of people in poverty … who live on less than $1 a day" by 2015 [a step in the direction of a global tax].
Obama's choice for Vice-President, Joe Biden, pushed this Global Poverty Act through his committee. Not only does Obama's policies (like other liberal Democrats) support the redistribution of wealth in our own nation, but he also wants to redistribute our wealth to the rest of the world through this Global Poverty Act.
Does anyone think Obama, labeled the most liberal Democrat in the Senate will really cut taxes on the middle class like he promises if he becomes President? Even if he wanted to cut taxes, does anyone believe the liberal Democrats, that are predicted to have total control over the House and Senate in the next session, would let him?
How can we believe Obama feels the pain of the impoverished when he and his wife reported $4.2 million in income last year while he has a brother living in a shack in Kenya on a dollar a month? In light of all the financial problems we are now enduring, can we afford a Barack Obama presidency, especially since he wants to redistribute our wealth to the whole world?
Even the poor in the US are rich by the world standards. I wonder just how eager the poor in America (who are supposed to be on Obama's receiving end of the distribution of wealth in the US ) will be to spread their wealth around the world as Obama wants to do in the Poverty Act. [End of Letter]
