Bill O'Reilly Has A Serious Heart Condition
Reported by Deborah - July 25, 2008 -
In his weekly column, Bill O'Reilly expresses his opposition to what he claims is Barack Obama's plan for "income redistribution". O'Reilly, fond of reminding people that he is very rich and also very generous, doesn't believe he should pay more taxes. He especially doesn't want his money spent on those nasty poor people. Here's how he put it.
"That means that people who drink gin all day long will be getting some of my hard-earned money. Folks who dropped out of school, who are too lazy to hold a job, and who smoke reefer 24/7 will all get some goodies in the mail from Uncle Barack and Aunt Nancy, funded by me and other rich folks."
O'Reilly has been using this "income distribution" theory as a campaign tool for quite some time spreading the notion that Democrats want to take the money from good people and give it away to people he thinks don't deserve it. However, BOR claims he makes sure his money goes to people he has decided deserve it.
"And then there's the accountability factor. Without being forced by the federal government, I give plenty of cash to folks who need a hand. But I check out the charities before the check goes in the mail. I make sure my donations go directly to people who, through no fault of their own, find themselves in difficult circumstances."
According to O'Reilly, Barack Obama and Democrats have plans to take his money and " dole out entitlements" to the undeserving without asking questions.
"President Obama and a Democratic congress will likely dole out entitlements like free health care, child care and cash payments to anyone who falls under a certain income level, no matter what their circumstance. That means that people who drink gin all day long will be getting some of my hard-earned money. Folks who dropped out of school, who are too lazy to hold a job, and who smoke reefer 24/7 will all get some goodies in the mail from Uncle Barack and Aunt Nancy, funded by me and other rich folks."
Yes, this is an old Republican scare tactic and there a certain people who may applaud O'Reilly's unapologetic disdain for other human beings. O'Reilly knows the poor are easy marks. He can lump them into one big smelly but faceless pile as the worthless scum that Democrats foolishly think can be helped. However, O'Reilly, breathing the special atmosphere reserved for the top 1%, doesn't care what happens to the forgotten and hopeless people in his own country.
That Bill O'Reilly feels this way is sad enough but for him to proudly broadcast it while patting himself on the back for his own generosity is unthinkable.
