Socialism runs in the Obama family, here’s a forgotten quote from Michelle Obama on giving up our piece of the pie so that others can have more:

Most Americans, she said, don’t want much. “They don’t want the whole pie,” she told the women. “There are some who do, but most Americans feel blessed just being able to thrive a little bit. But that is becoming even more out of reach.”… “If we don’t wake up as a nation with a new kind of leadership…for how we want this country to work, then we won’t get universal health care,” she said. “The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more.”

How about they mandate we actually give our money to real people instead of the government? I would rather finance someone else than let the bureaucrats in Washington take my money and shovel it to some pork project in their home district so that they can get re-elected. The only one who will wind up benefiting from my piece of the pie is the government and under the Obama presidency, the governments share of the pie will be quite big. They use it to control us.Here’s Glenn Beck and Mark Steyn’s reaction to Michelle’s quote: Here’s Regan’s response to redistributing wealth:He battled socialism in his day and we continue to do so today. The words in his farewell address still ring true:

Man is not free unless government is limited

I wish the youth of today realized that and wouldn’t be tempted to sell their freedom for governmental pottage.(via)
