A Virtue Out Of Selfishness?

“John McCain and Sarah Palin they call this socialistic." You know I don’t know when, when they decided they wanted to make a virtue out of selfishness.”

This is a direct quote from Barack Obama in response to the criticism that his tax plan has socialist implications. So, let me get this straight....It is now "selfish" to want to keep the money you worked hard for? It's "selfish" not to want the government to decide what should happen with your own income?

A couple months ago, Joe Biden said we needed to be "patriotic" by paying more taxes. Now, Obama says it's "selfish" if we don't want to pay more taxes. Hey, to all of you reading this (both of you), do you consider yourself "selfish?" No? Then give me all of your money. No? That's not very patriotic.
