RUSH: You know, according to Obama — I listened to his performance last night in the debate — according to Obama, the purpose of taxes is not to build roads, pay for the national defense, or provide Social Security. The purpose of taxes is to equalize incomes. To Obama, the purpose of taxes is to punish achievement. Now, I have to believe, based on if the polls are correct and so forth and who knows, I have to believe most of the country has no idea how Obama looks at taxpayers. All of us who pay taxes, Obama looks at us as mini-piggy banks for strangers. If we make a certain amount of money we\u2019re either going to put money in the piggy bank down the street or some guy will drop a nickel in ours. That\u2019s Obama\u2019s economic plan, to equalize incomes, pure and simple. So instead of taking care of our own families and our own businesses, the Obama plan has us making deposits in other people\u2019s bank accounts, with him as the banker. You\u2019re upset about what\u2019s happening on Wall Street, you\u2019re upset with all these banks and so forth, imagine Obama is a banker and he\u2019s going to force you to make deposits just like the Clinton administration forced banks to make loans to people who couldn\u2019t pay them back. Obama is going to force you to put money into his bank, and then he\u2019s going to give it away to people who he thinks need it more than you do. <\/p>\n

This is not America. It puts me in a good mood again because Obama\u2019s gone too far. His butt-kissing media friends have gone too far. This elitist BS might just blow up in their collective smug faces. I think Joe the Plumber and Joe Six-Pack are going to shove their elitism and socialism right down their throats. That\u2019s what I think. You know who reminds me of Joe the Plumber? Todd Palin. Todd Palin and Joe the Plumber could pull this country out of its funk by themselves. They\u2019re tough guys, they got common sense. I\u2019d run ads with them. I would love to have media cowards in those ads talking about Obama\u2019s demeanor and his cool factor. Like I said in the last hour, if I\u2019d have heard one more time from the Fox All-Stars about how cool Obama was — David Brooks said Obama is a mountain. He\u2019s a rain forest. You get up every morning and the mountain is just there. I didn\u2019t see cool. I don\u2019t see elegant. I see somebody not even really human. I see somebody devoid of passion. You can spin it in his favor and you can say he is cool under fire, or you can be more realistic and say he\u2019s cool only because he\u2019s cold. And there\u2019s a big difference. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s without feelings; he\u2019s without passion; he\u2019s a programmed robot. Remember, he has learned well what he has been taught. He just wants to win. You can barely even insult the guy. He\u2019s like a Stepford husband. He\u2019s really a cold customer. I think that\u2019s what came across to me last night, cold enough to cavort with terrorists, cold enough to cavort with people who want to overturn the capitalist system and make it socialist and do it by way of education. Cold enough to dismiss small-town Americans contemptuously as bitter clingers, cold enough to take our guns away. Obama is cold enough to spread the wealth. He\u2019s cold enough to fundamentally change our form of government, cold enough to admire dictators. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: We\u2019re going to start, Davenport, Iowa. Hi, Jenny, great to have you here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello, Mr. Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m so excited to talk to you. I told Snerdley I loved him, too. But my point was, you know, everybody wants to know who Joe the Plumber is. I think he\u2019s Joe the American. My salary range is in the mid-sixties but someday I would love to be in the upper range. I don\u2019t want to be taxed more. I don\u2019t want my incentives to be squashed. I feel like Obama is trying to take our rights to succeed in America. He just wants us squashed, those of us that want to succeed.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know what I\u2019m happy about most here? I love getting calls from people like you. I\u2019m glad that people are finally getting it. Obama did step in it. Mr. Cool did step in it. For all these people analyzing the debate last night, he stepped in it big time when he said, ‘Well, we want to take a little bit from you and spread the wealth around.\u2019 He stepped in it big time because he blew the cover of the Democrat Party. Jenny, the dirty little secret has been — or is — that this has been Democrat Party standard operating procedure for decades: raising taxes on people and then spreading the wealth around. It\u2019s class envy, wealth redistribution. This is precisely what the Democrat Party is made up of. And it has taken a plumber questioning Obama\u2019s tax increases and Obama stepping in it — Mr. Cool, stepping in it — and admitting what the Democrat idea is in a way that everybody understands it. ‘We want to spread the wealth around.\u2019 Spread the wealth around? ‘We\u2019re going to take your money; we\u2019re going to spread it to somebody else.\u2019 People understand that when you start spreading the wealth around, it means we\u2019re going to give it to people who haven\u2019t earned it, and you going to take it from people who have. It\u2019s not just the rich they\u2019re going to tax.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
