1st lets have a little on Obama calling those that want to keep their tax dollar selfish--

John McCain and Sarah Palin they call this socialistic," Obama continued. "You know I don?t know when, when they decided they wanted to make a virtue out of selfishness."
It's unclear if this was a nod to the Ayn Rand book "The Virtue of Selfishness," with all that the invocation of Rand implies.
It would seem to be, given the themes of Rand's work, what happens when independent achievers are demonized.
Which would fit with this description of those who want to keep their hard-earned tax dollars as "selfish."

but speaking of selfish I put up O's tax return in other thread showing he gave less than 1% to charity and appears he's throwing beloved aunt under the bus as well. We got another charitable deadbeat--harping on selfishness and 2 america's-
"Hope"--yep- that he keeps duping the lemmings until election.

A Boston Housing Authority director says Barack Obama?s aunt, a Kenyan woman who has lived in public housing for five years, is an ?exemplary resident? and only recently did anyone know of her connection to the presidential contender.
Obama?s campaign spokesman Reid Cherlin confirmed to the Herald yesterday that Zeituni Onyango, 56, who lives on Flaherty Way in South Boston, is Obama?s aunt on his father?s side.
Onyango, a Kenyan native, is believed to be the ?Aunti Zeituni? in Obama?s memoir, ?Dreams From My Father.?
It wasn?t until recently, when a London newspaper started making inquiries about Onyango, that Deputy Director Bill McGonagle learned of the link.
McGonagle said BHA employees were caught off guard.
?We were as surprised as anyone,? he said. ?We were a little bit flabbergasted.?
Onyango has lived in Boston public housing for five years, McGonagle said.
?She has been an exemplary resident,? he said.
She received a small stipend over the past year for working six hours a week as a volunteer resident health advocate in her complex, he said.
Little else is known about her.
Onyango had conversations with several BHA employees in recent days about her blood ties to the senator, McGonagle said. She proudly displays photos of Obama, including some that appear as old as 25 years, inside her first-floor apartment, McGonagle said.
A message left at Onyango?s apartment was not returned.
McGonagle asked that the media respect Onyango?s privacy.
?She is feeling very put upon,? he said.
