My goofy hippy throwback brother is voting Obama. I asked him if he thought he was rich, he said "not at all".
I said well you have a good job, a house almost paid for and car and new computer, how is that not rich compared the panhandler on the street. Why don't you give that guy your car, I asked?
He said because I'm not that rich. So, if that is the case, where does Obama and Pelosi draw lines? So far Biden and Obama can't decide what the line is. Sooner or later either by lay offs plant closings and taxing of everyone with a job, Obama will try and get into our pockets.

I love the waiter story.

Here's something that might help you understand the definition of 'rich'. The average 'poor' person in the United States has a standard of living greater than 95% of the rest of the world (hence the obesity problem among the 'poor'). Therefore, in a world sense, just about every person in the United States is 'rich'.

Obama could tax the 'rich' in the U.S. to give to the 'poor and middle class', and probably will try to if elected. But will someone then decide that we should become a better member of the international community and tax all of us 'rich Americans' to benefit the 'poor and middle class' of the world?

I am frightened when I see socialists with their eyes on America, but I am really afraid when they start talking about the rest of the world as well.
