This man is extremely smart – he can communicate [with a teleprompter], but the best part of Barack Obama is his heart is bigger than any heart in the world. – Senator Harry Reid, May 26, 2009
Obama tries to demonstrated that his heart is bigger by spending the fruit of your lives. It is easy to have a “bigger” heart when you are giving away other people’s money, and consequently the hours of their lives, without having to work for it.
After all the politicians in the South thought the slave owners had big hearts too – all funded on the backs of the slaves, and all “for a good cause, and fairness.” Of course, if you ask “fair to whom” and “fair based on who’s judgment” the entire facade then fell apart.
Note that you never hear talk about how it is “fair” to let people work for themselves and keep the products of their own work. In the modern political lexicon, keeping the fruit of your labors is “unfair” on its face. When one side has the position of government control of your lives and the other has no principled opposition, it merely becomes a bargaining war over who can buy votes through government hand-outs and the side of big government can always do that.
