President Obama has made his pledge for more redistribution of wealth. He also has stated that our nation’s people are not united. It’s 99 percent vs. the 1 percent.

When we say “liberty and justice for all,” we are saying all our people have the right to pursue “life, liberty, and happiness.” Each person is to be treated justly, fairly, and according to proper law and principle.

These principles are afforded to every American, regardless of race, religion, color, creed, or wealth.

We all know what is meant by “playing the race card.” Obama, you are “playing the rich card” (those making more than $250,000). This discrimination is against all American principles. Being an American citizen, your action disqualifies you to be my president.
