Are you SELFISH?

Obama wants to spread the wealth. He wants everything to be "fair". He thinks that something like 2% of the population paying over 70% of all the income taxes is not enough. Now he has said that people who don't agree with him are SELFISH!! Yep, he was talking about his policies and said that McCain & Palin call it socialism. Then he said "I don't know when they decided to make a virtue out of selfishness!" So if you are a McCain supporter, are YOU SELFISH? Let's discuss selfishness. Obama is a multimillionaire. I believe his net worth is something like 4.5 million. He gives only around 2% to charity, most has gone to the church of Rev Wright who makes no bones about how much he hates the US. Obama's aunt, who lives in Boston, lives in public housing. She has sent a few hundred over a period of time to Obama's campaign, but what has Obama done for her? Nada. She lives in public housing and it turns out is an illegal alien, having had her request for asylum denied in 2004. I dare say Obama could have sponsored her and applied for her to be legally in the US, but apparently he did not. He could have put her up in his mansion -- hey wouldn't it be good for the children to be exposed to another culture, esp an African culture? Heck, he could have bought her a small house or apartment, very modest, and never even felt the difference in his wallet. He did not help her. He now says he didn't know she was illegal, but since she is all appropriate laws should be used against her. Still no help for auntie. Obama's brother lives in a hut in Kenya. He's not doing too well financially, and there are precious few opportunities in Kenya at this point. Obama has visited him there so he knows of his plight. No help. Again. Now his brother supports his run for President. He's very proud of Obama. But he feels Obama doesn't need to help him -- he's OK. However, others in his village have shaken their heads in shame for Sen Obama that he doesn't help his own flesh and blood. The rate of exchange between Kenya and the US dollar is such that a small amount of Obama's US dollars can go a LONG way in Kenya. Again, it would not hurt him to do a LOT to help his brother. But he doesn't. I would like to point out to Americans that even tho his brother doesn't want anything from him does not mean that he doesn't want/need help. Africans are very proud people. They are also extremely FAMILY ORIENTED. SO the villagers criticizing Obama for not helping his brother are more in line with the real sentiment and traditions. Obama has said that any man who doesn't take care of his own is a man that you know probably isn't going to care about other people either. But Obama doesn't seem to take care of anyone outside himself, his wife, and their two kids. Shouldn't spreading the wealth start at HOME? Moreover, Americans ARE the most charitable people on earth. Americans as a whole send more than any other country to charity. And he says we are selfish, even tho he clearly is NOT among those of us who send money to others? Let's talk about Joe Biden. He says it is patriotic to pay taxes. (Never mind that no one I've heard is saying they don't want to pay taxes. They're saying enough is enough.) Biden made 2.5 million in the last few years. He has donated a whopping $3500 to charity in all that time! But the American people, who support McCain are SELFISH? McCain is also a multimillionaire. He gives something like 33% of his income to charity. Not only that, but he and especially his wife, have a long, long history of charity work. Palin I don't have any figures on, but she is NOT a millionaire, so not sure she belongs in the comparison anyway. So, who do you think cares more about the average person? The one who talks beautifully but puts no money or work behind it? Or the one who puts his money and his time where his mouth is? It is simply FALSE to say that McCain thinks only about the rich companies. He did NOT vote a break for big oil -- guess who did? Yep, Obama.
