Romney scored big against Obama  last night in the first of their three debates, as most of the pundits, left and right, agree<\/a>.  When Romney came out with the "trickle-down government" line, I gave him a big 'thumbs up' to the mild amusement of my wife who, bless her heart, insisted that we watch the debate instead of a 1965 rerun  of Alfred Hitchcock Presents<\/em>.  (I was tempted to blow off the debate, expecting nothing but the usual bullshit.)  <\/span><\/p>\n

But Romney should have repeated the excellent line that sums up the whole leftist approach: we take your money which, by rights does not belong to you but to the collective, and we dribble back to you such benefits as we see fit.  (Karl Marx: "From each according to his ability; to each according to his need.")  Obama 2016<\/em> provides evidence that this is the ultimate Obama agenda.<\/span><\/p>\n
