If it wasn’t for that darn Constitution, Obama and the Democrats would be able to do what they think our country needs in order to get the economy going again.  This seems to be a growing trend among Democrats in Washington.  Remember Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr?  He said that Obama should declare a “national emergency” on the issue of jobs, which would allow him to act without congressional approval.  He compared the current Congress to the states in rebellion during the Civil War.  He said, “If there are extra-constitutional opportunities that allow the president administratively to put the people to work, he should pursue every single one of them.”  That’s Jesse Jackson Jr., a chip off the old race pimp block, calling for the Constitution to be set aside. 

 Now we have Democrat Rep. Jim Moran.  You remember this prepuce, don’t you?  In 2008, Moran came out with this brilliant line: "... because we have been guided by a Republican administration who believes in the simplistic notion that people who have wealth are entitled to keep it and they have an antipathy towards means of redistributing wealth."  The idea of those who earn their wealth being allowed to keep it really drives the liberals bat-squeeze crazy.  Liberals, you see, believe that not only all wealth – but the very people who create that wealth – belongs to government.  It is the government that will decide how much of whatever wealth you earn you will be able to collect. 

 Here’s the latest idea from Jim Moran: Barack Obama should be able to “act unilaterally” to refinance all home mortgages in the US without congressional approval in order to “reset the economy.”  Moran explains: “The banks aren’t doing it, but the federal government can borrow money at three-and-a-half percent today. They should use that money to refinance every home mortgage, and that would put $750 billion into homeowners pockets.  It would reset the economy, and I think it’s the one thing that would most quickly get this economy back on its feet.”  Does Obama have the Constitutional authority to do this?  Of course not.  But this matters not to Moran.  Democrats don’t exactly walk around with copies of the Constitution in their pockets. 

 Our second rectal-cranial inversion comes from libtard columnist and CNN host Fareed Zakaria.  In a column about Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 plan, he Zakaria labeled the plan “sloppy and, in parts, bizarre.”  But then he goes on to give his own tax reform plan, where he ends with the following idea: “I would enact a 50 percent inheritance tax, because nothing is more un-American than an inherited elite that perpetuates itself.”  Yeah .. that’s really un-American.  I could have stopped working long ago, but I’m still plugging away to make sure that my granddaughter has some sort of a chance under the society and economy that Barack Obama is creating for her.  How un-American of me.  Zakaria says at least half of whatever I earn but do not spend in my lifetime should go to the government .. that on top of the income taxes I will have already paid. 

 Progs love to promote the idea that wealthy people inherited their money, they didn’t work for it. True?  The “Wealth and Values Survey” showed that 69% of ‘wealthy’ Americans accumulated most of their money through work, business ownership or investments; 6% percent received money through inheritance; and 25% gained wealth through a combination of inheritance and earnings.”  But about this “un-American” nonsense … liberals aren’t very fond of property rights.  You can’t be fond of property rights and spout “redistribute the wealth” lines with every speech.  Our founding fathers thought that property rights were essential to a free society.  Libs don’t.  Whatever you earn during your lifetime is, in fact, your property. I know I’m releating myself, but the idea of those who earn their wealth being allowed to keep it really drives the liberals bonkers.  It is amazing how liberals are so anxious to seize property and redistribute it simply based on the fact that they don’t like that YOU can choose how to distribute it.  Government always knows best.

 “To take from one, because it is thought his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, the guarantee to everyone the free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.”

-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Joseph Milligan, April 6, 1816
