Conservatives speak in lies and half-truths. They are latter-day Nazis.

Actually she is wrong on so many levels. “Giving” is not something that “must” be done, but something that should, and does in so many different ways, come from the heart. Each person should give according to what stirs their compassion, they should not be coerced, mandated or lectured to “give”. “Giving back” as she mentions implies -as J.Galt states here: http://www.whoisjohngalt.com/2009/05/giving-back.html that something has been taken from someone else…a common theme from the Obamas.

Sure, go out be successful and give back some of the money that the government will not need to finance the debt generated by this administration. Michelle gives mixed message to grads. One part of the formula is missing. You have to have something to share. Oh, I forgot that is the governments responsibility to redistribute the wealth that successful college grads may be able to accumulate. But I guess the premise to the whole sermon that she was preaching is that people who want success are greedy and need to be told to share.

And, the charitable donation they used as a tax deduction went to Trinity United Church! Boy, no one talks about the good old Reverend anymore do they? Tax deductible donations, the place where their kids were baptized, and the place they went every Sunday for twenty years…nah, no big influence in their lives. Starting to make more sense now, though, hmmm? Class warfare, bully tactics, union backing, and the tax tipping point where 51%+ receive instead of pay…”With governmental dependence for all”.
