Obama Calls For "Jew Tax"

Funny blunder but this might hunt him for some time.

He meant to say "janitor" not "jew", it is a disservice to everyone to make the mistake something it is not. He screwed up, he used a word people are cautious of,... big deal. The verbal slip ups were reported maliciously when Bush did them, as everyone does, no reason to belittle Obama over what should be immediately understandable to most folks.

“When you start saying, at a time when the top one-tenth of one percent have seen their incomes go up four or five times over the last twenty years, and folks at the bottom have seen their incomes decline, and your response is that you want poor folks to pay more — give me a break.

The prez is 100% on point here.
 
He didn't say jew, it sounded like like he got his words tangled up and almost mis-pronounced janitor. It makes no sense that jew would even be on his mind considering the context in which he was speaking. I think he is going down though and I am not voting for him, but the slop and garbage the republicans are running out there ain't worth voting for either. I might for the first time in the last 5 presidential elections not vote.
 
“If asking a billionaire to pay the same tax rate as a Jew — as a janitor — makes me a warrior for the working class, I wear that as a badge of honor.”

How is this anti-semitic?

If he said Jew where he was trying to say billionaire, then I can see how the hysterical fingermen swine are trying to make it look like Obama feels the Jews "control" all the money.

EDIT: and he really doesn't even say "Jew Tax".

Vote for a third party candidate, then. A vote for one of the two major parties is, from an individual perspective, almost always thrown away. The odds that you will case the election-deciding ballot are extremely low and if you don't, your vote only serves to affect political capital. If your winning candidate gets an extra vote, it makes a very small impression.

If, on the other hand, a third party candidate gets another vote, it's relatively more impactful because that vote represents a greater relative increase in support. Add 5% to 50% and you've made a 10% relative increase. Add 5% to 5% and you've made a 100% relative increase. When third party candidates get more votes than the difference in votes between the candidates of the major parties, it's clear that third wooing those third party supporters is sufficient to swing the election either way. Then that third party's concerns actually get some attention and there's a little bit more pressure to break up some of the corruption and decay in the two major parties.

Of course, it's still a tiny effect, but it's better than not voting at all and it's better than voting for a major candidate.

Don't feed the rabid Right Wing Trolls in this forum because they are sort like the Repugs in Congress impossible to explain logic to.
