Shocking! Desmond Tutu and Obama share an identical tax view.

#1 Yes, Barack is well on his way of achieving his Master Plan (tm) of enslaving whitey and getting the brothers to run the plantation...BWA-HA-HA!!!

Tell me something, do you ever leave the trailer to get fresh air?

#2 It's a basic view. Do you believe that the people exist to serve the state, or that the state exists to serve the people? When one crosses the point where over half of what one produces or creates by one's labor or skill is consumed by the various levels of the state in the form of tax, fees, levies, then you exist to serve the state.

#6 achieving his Master Plan (tm) of enslaving whitey and getting the brothers to run the plantation..

Don,t be absurd, Shakey Steve. Why would the smartest man in the room and his fellow savants share power with the ignorant, downtrodden masses, who,d only mess it up? And that's how Bishop Tutu and his ANC colleagues are running things in the former Apartheid Kingdom -- the blacks aren't significantly better off than they were before, according to what acquaintances there tell me, but now their oppressors are of the same skin tone. Whoopee.

#7 South Africa's inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.

#9 At least he is up front about his racists ideas. I am glad that apartheid is in the dustbin of history but I wonder how long the South Africans get to use the past as an excuse for shortcomings in the present.

#10 I would hope that we do not become confused by labels. As most of the readership here are fully aware, tribal or cultural seperation (evil apartheid if you will) is still a reality in much of Africa. Short of the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, it is unfortunately the only workable solution to the realities of tribal hatred and geneocide. I would offer the current state of affairs in Solalia as current supporting evidence. Thanks to years of Western sanctions and pressure, South Africa now simply has a different, much more ruthless cadre of communist trained enforcers and re-distributors. Not a great deal to celebrate actually, but if you must hate your Euro heritage, Western colonial enfluence in Africa, or the Boere, there are angry chants and songs which one can sing along with warrior jestures, foot stomping and dance. I've viewed it since the Fall of the Smith Gov't in Rhodesia as a foretelling of future social justice here at home. Our current administration has certainly embraced the model.
