Tthe Full Quote Maybe?

MCCAIN:

'How about $5 million? No, but seriously, I don’t think you can, I don’t think seriously that the point is I’m trying to make, seriously,

and I’m sure that comment will be distorted but the point is…

that we want to keep people’s taxes low, and increase revenues. … So, it doesn’t matter really what my definition of rich is because I don’t want to raise anybody’s taxes. I really don’t.'

A look at Obamas rvision of a rich society

1)Standardized tax based health care for all. It aint free!(Obama/Clinton)

2)Education for all, teaching the values of never feel bad, multicuturalism, and whats good for the collective. No testing, because Reading Writing, History, Math are are hard and my show some are less apt than others.Unless you already send your kids to private school-(obama)

3) Diplomacy based on the premis that the u.s. is the great evil in the wold and wishes to distroy all non-christian peoples of color, Terror attacks are our fault.Pull out, run away, bury your head in the sand..until the next attack(Obama)

4) Punish the succesful captialists- They should give the govt. thier money to distribute to all of us. Politicials are smarter and more honest than evil businessmen.(Obama/Reid/Clinton/All dems)

5) A family of four making 250 grand is rich...oh you bet!(Obama) Anybody reading this paying some student loans?

Than maybe Michelle willbe truly proud of her country.

Define rich?

Define rich? Well if you are worldly it would be 5 million dollars or a sum of money. (Which most people now a days always talk money)My definitin is close to John Mcain with a lift. I know the my defininition is a good Christian home, good upstanding family of the community, happy giver, which will show servant leadership to ones children and they will follow the footsteps of the parents. Show them we are small.It is written there is only one God and the only way to heaven is through the son Jesus.Faith,good works and fervent prayer for the will of God makes one stand straight in the Lords sight.This is also written! Colossians 4:12
