Obama, pro and con

This seems to be a pro Obama piece, but seems to accurately portrays, the counter arguments. (Someone must’ve not read his talking points).
 
What Does Mitt Romney Have to Offer? - Greg Sargent, Washington Post
 
“Romney’s position is that these fine public servants are public servants are luxuriating in excessive pay, a fact that, unlike swelling income inequality, constitutes a major source of unfairness in American life. (“We will stop the unfairness of government workers getting better pay and benefits than the taxpayers they serve,” he said last week.)”  It is true that public servants are getting excessive pay but the reason they arent luxuriating in their pay, is their insistence on equal pay. No one is luxuriating in average pay. If only the most productive were retained and the salaries of those were based on performance, there would be justification for the higher salaries would be that performance. Lower total salary expense, would help the economy overall. (I realize that that is just my opinion, do the liberals realize that their analysis is only an opinion)
 
 
“Obama, of course, will have to persuade voters that this vision is morally bankrupt, that in practice, all it really translates into is a lower tax burden for the wealthy, and that history has shown that lowering that tax burden has not translated into broadly shared prosperity at all.” Obama’s tasking of persuading the public of a falsity is indeed a challenge. One for which he has lots of practice. Obamas position is to sell that idea that he can steal, covet, and bear false witness because he has the power.  When you target 1% of the population for higher taxes, and rely on the greed of the takers to keep you in office, it is a perversion of the democratic process and was the reason when the US was formed, no one thought it would last.
 
In addition to working on violating all the ten commandments, Obama disrespects the constitutional constraints.  This is not a pure democracy, because if it was it wouldnt survive our immoral leaders.
