Analyzing "Spread the Wealth Around"

At an Ohio campaign stop, Joe the Plumber asked Obama why he is raising taxes on hard-working Americans like himself.

Obama told Joe the Plumber that he wants to "spread the wealth around."

Obama's use of the phrase "spread the wealth around" is enlightening when analyzed.

Obviously, the phrase is socialist in nature, and offensive to all liberty-minded individuals such as conservatives and libertarians.

But let's look at the phrase at an even deeper level.

"The Wealth" - There is no "the wealth."

All wealth is earned by someone.

There is only my wealth, or your wealth, or someone else's wealth.

So by using the term "the wealth" obfuscates who rightfully earned and deserves the wealth in the first place.

Therefore, Obama is saying "Spread your wealth around."

"Spread" - "To spread" is a verb. A verb expresses action.

To whom is "the subject" that the verb asserts the action of?

In this case "the subject" is Obama.

Therefore, he is saying "Obama will spread your wealth around."

"Around" - Who decides who receives your wealth?

Answer - Obama will decide who receives your wealth.

So your hard-earned wealth will be taken from you - and Obama will decide who will receive your wealth.

You have no control over who Obama decides to give your wealth to, nor will the recipients know that it came from you.

Funny how Obama and the Democrats can't understand how offensive and repulsive the concept of "them deciding how to spread your wealth" is to liberty-minded people.
