The O tactics are shoving socialism right down America’s throat, and I for one am choking.
“Top executives at firms receiving extra-ordinary help from U.S. Taxpayers will have their compensation capped at $500,000. A fraction of the salaries that have been reported recently”, said Obama.
Say goodbye to capitalism. In trying to improve everyone’s life, our new government under Mr. O will dictate how much money you can make. The government prints the money, is turning our banks toward national ownership and is taking another step toward socialism by limiting earnings.
Obama’s team is giving away too many pieces of the pie. Obama’s foremost adviser, his wife Michelle, said, “Most Americans don’t want much. Folks don’t want the whole pie. Most Americans feel blessed to thrive a little bit. But that’s out of reach for them…someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so someone else can have more,” transcribed from Glenn Beck at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgc4zm3XrBc
It is more than just a redistribution of pie. Wake the frig up- where has Mrs. Obama been to say that we feel blessed to thrive just a little bit? Why go to work if your earning potential is limited and you have to feed everyone else while you do the work?
Not only do I want all of my pie President & Mrs. Obama, but I want my cake and I want to eat it too. I want to eat my pie on my terms, every last stinking crumb seeing as it was my hard earned paycheck that I alone earned to buy the pie in the first place. I cashed it, I got the taxes taken out and I have the right to keep it all to myself; that is my prerogative. Democracy is supposed to give me the right to share my pie, not require me.
In other news the stimulus bill which will take away more slices of my pie is making progress in the Senate. “The bill is quite the cross between an over-decorated Christmas tree and an over-stuffed sausage, but that is to be expected.” http://finaxyz.blogspot.com/2009/02/stimulus-bill-progressing-through.html .
Forget dessert, pass the meatloaf.

Ahrcanum 
I stand corrected! I hope at the very least it is an apple pie- made with USA grown fruit and not imported, nor sprayed with melamine from China.
Nonono, you got it all wrong. According to Obama, as long as we take 10 gazillion pies away from people, and then let the government redistribute them, the pies will increase in number. Paul Krugman explained that there is a “multiplicator” effect on this, so there will actually be MORE pies.
Also, if this were not to work, the government will hand out “I O U 1 pie” papers to satisfy the demand for pies. When your IOU is due, the government will forcefully remove a pie from your neighbour, and give him your IOU.
Who knows what would happen if the world wasn’t ruled by these sane, logical and overall well aligned people!
