March Madness: Stemming greed, shared prosperity


Look at these two screen shots from the White House Web site carefully. This tells you all you need to know about what President Barack H. Obama plans to do to those who have wealth ... those earning more than $250,000 annually.

Be prepared to lose a portion of what you have worked hard for. What that portion will be is anybody's guess, but it would not surprise me if it were substantial.

Look at the terms: Helping Small Business, Stemming Greed; or Sustained Growth, Shared Prosperity. This should scare you.

Could not this government be considered greedy by reaching deeper into our pockets to extract more cash to pay for their pet projects and programs? What exactly is greed?

Also, what is "shared prosperity"? To me, it seems that he will take from me to give to you so that we can all be equal financially.

This is somewhat alarming.

Check out this video to hear Milton Friedman talk about capitalism and greed.
