If it quacks like a duck and looks like a duck...
Obama wants to redistribute the wealth. He said it. Let's all understands he wants to impose this socioeconomic theory upon America. It IS socialism, by the way. (Each according to their ability, each according to their needs...)
Now, spreading money around seems noble. Hell, let's just give everyone an extra $50,000. Pick any $$$ amount. But the economy doesn't work that way.
And, as a small business owner, I can honestly say that "typical" minimum wage workers do not work that way.
In my business, we had on-going trouble getting our staff of 20 workers to show up for their scheduled hours... They always had an excuse. "I had a headache." "My daughter's father didn't pick her up cause his girlfriend had car trouble." "I needed to take my mother in to a doctor's appointment and by the time I got back at 11 a.m., I figured the day was shot so I didn't bother coming in...." (My favorite:) "The ghost in my bathroom wouldn't let me leave my apartment."
So, we instituted a GENEROUS on-time, filled schedule bonus. We would add a bonus of 25% to their bi-weekly paycheck if they merely showed up on time and/or filled their printed schedule at a 90% rate. (That's right, we even built in a ten percent forgiveness rate.)
Guess how many times, in three years, I've had to give the 25% bonus? Only once! Three years, average 20 employees employed, and only once did one person show up for their scheduled hours.
And now Barack Obama wants to GIVE these people money? As if they will rise themselves out of poverty or use the money to better their world? No, they will increase their HBO subscriptions, buy better quality/quantity of drugs and alcohol, and work less. To be clear, they will not save for their children's education, they will not save to purchase their own homes, they will not be motivated in any way to ADD to the productivity our nation so desires.
Obama policies clearly demonstrate he has NO UNDERSTANDING of why there are different socioeconomic classes in America and the world. And his policies of redistribution will fail
Holiday Season
Christmas time is so great in NY..In CA, with no snow, it is sure different. There is a ski area about 40 minutes from me, in the mountains that surround the desert..In order to get to the freeway and downtown LA, you have to drive through the mountains and ski area..All my CA friends ski. I have never..Heck, I have never even skated..Tried to skate a few years ago and kept falling, figured I better stop before I break a hip. One of my friends has offered to teach me skiing on the bunny slope where she takes her 4 year old daughter. I said no thanks..I would probably be a fool. Ah yes, I love this time of the year..Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hannukah, Christmas, New Year..So much to look forward to.
Personally, I think this campaign season
is just getting more and more exciting. Imagine if an old man gets the Presidency, and his sidekick with absolutely no foreign policy experience ends up as President....very exciting....cannot get any more uncertain than that scenario.
The conversation took place during the primary season
If they had a casual conversation on these issues before any official selections were even possible, they would have been purely speculative, dontcha think? During the heat of the primary compaign, HC would have been the last person he would have had in mind for either position. Sounds like a fairly innocent chat between friends to me.
Can't resist....maybe it isn't a duck, maybe it's a republican. LOL

It's hunting season here. We have no problems getting ammo. Sounds like a silly rumor to me. NT

Donald Duck would make a better president
No, Duck, not made up, and you fail to miss my point...
I think the dems are missing a LOT of points with Obama's plans for us...
Food for thought..lame duck watch (sm)
