(Almost) Everybody Loves Obama!

Wednesday, February 25, 2009


By any standards, this is impressive. That's right, only 8% of Americans who watched Barack Obama's speech last night were "negative" about it. The rest were "very positive" (68%) or "somewhat positive" (24%). Who were the "negative" 8%? Here is one of them. And here is a great response, by Ben Tribbett:
I couldn't disagree more strongly. When you lower the tax rate on the Rich, you are transferring wealth to them.
Another good one from Ben:
Your arguments all lead to the government not being involved at all, which would mean no taxes and anarchy.
And finally, the piece de resistance:
Any changes to tax code = transfer from someone to someone else. Always. Period.
Ben's on a role this morning! Republicans and Libertarians like Jon Henke? Not so much. :)
