"There comes a time when you've made enough money..."

These may not be Obama's exact words, but he did say something quite similar to that.  It believe it is an important tell about his character.  Something that you may want to keep in mind when you go to the polls on Tuesday.

What does that quote say about Obama?  I think it says that he doesn't favor economic growth.  He may give the impression that he favors growth, but in his deepest heart, he may be thinking that this country has made enough money, and needs to slow down.

Obama did say to Joe the Plumber that he wanted to spread the wealth around.  Interestingly, he doesn't seem to be all that gung-ho about creating it.  Do you create more wealth if you force coal mines out of business?  Do you create more wealth when you shut down the Keystone Pipeline and import the oil from the Middle East?

Obama is out of step.  Most Americans still believe that economic growth is important.

When Charlie Gibson asked about capital gains taxes, Obama said he would be against lower rates even if the lower rates raised more taxes.  Again, this is an important tell.  For what it says is that Obama would make the trade-off between equality v. growth in favor of equality.  Growth would be sacrificed at the altar of equality.  Isn't that what happened in these last four years?

Those on the left may cry foul here.  Obama really wants growth too.  But where are the results?  Even under Bush, who Obama wants to run against perpetually, the economy produced more jobs.  That's an inconvenient truth that liberals don't want to face.  They run against prosperity because they want more equality.  Equality über alles.  But they say that they want more prosperity.  So, what do you believe?  Them, or you're lying eyes?
