"The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved." -- Confucius

Obama's New Attack on Those Who Don't Want Higher Taxes: ‘Selfishness’

"John McCain and Sarah Palin they call this socialistic," Obama continued. "You know I don’t know when, when they decided they wanted to make a virtue out of selfishness."


Tell ya what, Senator. When you start using your wealth to take care of your own family (ie. your half-brother living in a hovel in Africa, your aunt, living in this country and donating to your campaign illegally) you can start preaching to the rest of us about selfishness. But that's the rub isn't it? It would require you to use your money to actively help someone. Instead, like a typical leftish, you want to use everyone else's money run through the horribly ineffective filter that is government to eventually help someone.
