Does Obama have a problem with earned success?

What a success! All he's done is beat out Hillary Clinton, a woman, for the Democratic nomination. His voting record shows that he voted "present" more often than not (when he showed up). Obama's only platform was to be against the war in Iraq and now he's running against a "token Republican nominee" who isn't supposed to win following George "WTF" Bush's disastrous eight years of thievery, dishonesty, etc., etc....

Remember that "it ain't over 'til it's over"! If the blacks aren't appeased when he loses, there probably will be more rioting like Watts or Detroit back in the day. Obama hasn't EARNED success yet.

Absolutely not, if you believe his rhetoric. He just thinks those who have more wealth have a greater responsibility to support the nation. In principle I don't have any moral objection to this theory; the problem is the perverse macroeconomic effects of levying the highest taxes on the most productive workers in society.

Yes, yes, I know that you might argue that a garbage man works just as hard (or harder, physically anyway) as a doctor, but come on, whose human capital is really more valuable? Anyone with a strong back can be a garbage man, but it takes 8 years of higher education to become a doctor. Do we want to discourage people from pursuing the higher-paying careers by taxing them at a higher rate?

Yes...Now when is Obama going to do the will of the people of Ill. that put him in office All of his votes are PRESENT, not yes or no...So far he has not earned any successes

Both parties do.

Many of the rich really didn't earn their success, but rather used the apparatus of the state for handout, legal monopolies, regulated oligopolies, contracts, etc.

A democrat like a third party supporter who isn't even on the National

ballot has a problem with a earned anything.

Doubtful, but like most liberals he sees disparagies between the haves and have nots and believes incorrectly that entitlements will rectify them.

No, he absolutely needs us to earn success, so that we can give our money away to his constituates. Who's going to support them all in his world if not us ?

Yes.

He has a problem with Lt.Gen Nate B. Forrest (ret.CSA)

No.

If you think your success is 100 percent earned, and had *nothing* to do with the environment you were raised in, your innate abilities, and a fair amount of luck, you're delusional.
