"That does involve us spreading around opportunity and it means that for people like myself, making a lot more than $250,000 a year, paying a little bit more so that the waitress who is surviving on minimum wage can put a roof over her head," Obama said. How did we get to a point where the waitress isn't responsible for putting a roof over her own head? How are wealthy people responsible for her living conditions? We're now going to punish the people who are doing it right, and reward the under-achievers. God help this country.
