Obama vs. Capitalist Plumber

The Ohio plumber in this video should be enshrined as instant American folk hero.  He was able to cut through Obama’s socialist BS in about 30 seconds, far swifter than the mainstream media.  Neil Cavuto interviewed the guy on Fox Tuesday and the guy declared Obama is a “socialist”.

The story is below, along with some video links.

Obama to Plumber: My Plan Will 'Spread the Wealth Around'

Barack Obama tells a plumber in Ohio he wants to "spread the wealth

around," eliciting criticism that his economic recovery plan is

socialist in nature.

Barack Obama told a tax-burdened plumber over the weekend that his

economic philosophy is to "spread the wealth around" -- a comment that

may only draw fire from riled-up John McCain supporters who have taken

to calling Obama a "socialist" at the Republican's rallies.

Obama made the remark, caught on camera, after fielding some tough

questions from the plumber Sunday in Ohio, where the Democratic

candidate canvassed neighborhoods and encouraged residents to vote early.

"Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn't it?" the plumber asked, complaining that he was being taxed

"more and more for fulfilling the American dream."

"It's not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they've

got a chance for success too," Obama responded. "My attitude is that if the economy's good for folks from the bottom up,

it's gonna be good for everybody ... I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."
