A good campaign strategy is for conservatives to repeat this fact over and over and use Venezuela as an example of socialism’s consequences.
And the Dems should just tell the truth.
They want to take your money and give it to other people in exchange for votes. They want big government so they are ruling over a more powerful government.
If Democrats could figure out a way to take 150% of your paycheck, they would do it.
"Like Father, Like Son – Obama’s Father: Government 100% Taxation of Income OK

As a Nairobi bureaucrat, Barack Hussein Obama Sr. advised the pro-Western Kenyan government there to “redistribute” income through higher taxes. He also demonized corporations and called for massive government “investment” in social programs.
Writing in a 1965 scholarly paper, Obama’s late father slammed the administration of then-President Jomo Kenyatta for moving the Third World country away from socialism toward capitalism. He chafed at the idea of relying on private investors — who earn “dividends” on their venture capital — to develop the country’s fledgling economy.
“What is more important is to find means by which we can redistribute our economic gains to the benefit of all,” said the senior Obama, a Harvard-educated economist. “This is the government’s obligation.”
The “means” he had in mind were confiscatory taxes on a scale that redefines the term “progressive taxation.”
“Theoretically,” he wrote, “there is nothing that can stop the government from taxing 100% of income so long as the people get benefits from the government commensurate with their income which is taxed.”
Therefore, he added, “I do not see why the government cannot tax those who have more and syphon some of these revenues into savings which can be utilized in investment for future development.”
NYTimes:
'But he did identify what he called “tactical lessons.” He let himself look too much like “the same old tax-and-spend liberal Democrat.”
The Education of President Obama
Obama was raised by his grandparents and his mother. Obama barely even knew is father.
Obama was a 'red diaper doper baby.'
His grandparent were dyed-in-the -wool communists.
No wonder you idolize that bunch.
Stanley Armour Dunham was a communist? Any evidence of this?
Obama's is the worst communist ever.
Obama had said "
it is important to remember that capitalism has been the greatest driver of prosperity and opportunity the world has ever seen."
Although he recognizes the massive inequality we've produced in recent decades, he's really n
ot all that different than Elizabeth Warren in that regard.
Although I cannot empathize with it, I completely understand your situation
You were motivated to respond because my post runs counter to everything they 'taught' you in government schools
But that same schooling leaves you woefully unprepared to counter, other than 'is not.'
Heaven forbid you actually went out and did your own research, or investigated the links/sources that I have provided.
You might lose your Liberal credentials.

I should keep you on retainer, you dunce, as you always prove me correct....
a. Stanley and Madelyn Dunham in 1955 picked up and relocated 2,000 miles from Texas to Seattle. The next year they relocated to Mercer Island
specifically so their daughter, Obama's future mother Stanley Ann Dunham could attend Mercer Island High School. Another attraction:
The East Shore Unitarian Church, also a hotbed of leftist activism.
One year earlier, Mercer Island schools had distinguished themselves in a way which might have caused others to avoid them.
The Chicago Tribune explains,
"In 1955, the chairman of the Mercer Island school board, John Stenhouse, testified before the House Un-American Activities Subcommittee that he had been a member of the Communist Party."

b.
The Chicago Tribune mentions a description of the
Dunham's chosen church as "The Little Red Church on the Hill". According to
its own website, East Shore Unitarian Church got that name because of, "Well-publicized debates and forums on such controversial subjects as the admission of ‘Red China' to the United Nations...." Mercer Island's John Stenhouse, according to his 2000 obituary, once served
as church president possibly contributing to
the ‘red' label.
The Dunhams moved to Honolulu in 1960 after Ann graduated and quickly became friends with
leftists such as now-Rep. Neil Abercrombie (D-HI) and Communist Party member Frank Marshall Davis. Obama's mother-to-be enrolled at the University of Hawaii and soon met Barack Obama Sr. in a Russian language class. She would remain affiliated with the University for most of her life.
