Michelle is calling it a Tea Party [1]. William A. Jacobson, Legal Insurrection [2], offers another analogy:
This movement can succeed if it does not stop at protest and includes changes in economic behavior. Obama’s redistributive plans require higher taxation, but higher tax plans (to be announced this week by Obama) are based on the fallacy that the “rich” will not change their economic behavior in reaction to higher tax rates.
History tells us, however, that economic redistribution plans fail because the producers of society would rather not produce, than have the fruits of their production taken away and given to others. Obama can raise the tax rates on income, but he cannot force people to generate income to be taxed.
Analogies abound, but to pick one, a fire will not burn if deprived of fuel. Barack Obama’s wet dream of socialist revolution will require vsst sums of your tax dollars. It is not necessary to deprive the one of all your tax dollars. Rather ist only necessary to cut the flow of tax dollars into the Obama treasurer to put Obamamania on a forced diet.
Obama can send his goons to collect taxes. He can not force people to actually work.
