Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

November 21, 2008

During the presidential campaign, Barack Obama famously explained his intention to ?spread the wealth around.? Those who understand and cherish America?s tradition of liberty understand that this is not a proper function of any government. But Mr. Obama represents those for whom wealth redistribution is the fundamental function of government.

So far, Obama?s chief accomplishment as a wealth-spreader was his vote in the U.S. Senate on behalf of the Wall Street bailout, a measure that has redistributed trillions of dollars from the Middle Class to corrupt, politically connected financial institutions.

In a series of letters to organizations representing employees of seven federal agencies, Obama likewise promised to redirect more wealth from taxpayers into the pockets of government functionaries who were supposedly starved for funds during the Bush era.

Though he says he intends to represent all Americans, Obama clearly identifies with the parasites, rather than the productive.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
