The Left Is Winning Karl Marx would be proud Captain Capitalism Despite the cacophony of complaining you hear from the left about how things are so horrible and that the plight of the poor is getting worse, remember, a little dose of reality provides a lot of clarity. For if you look at the federal budget over time and how we've "voted" to spend our money, you'll note that wealth redistribution programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, welfare and so forth have taken a larger and larger percentage of the budget. (Percentage of federal budget going to wealth redistribution) ...Going from all of 3% in 1943, this has now ballooned to over 64% in 2005... (Wealth redistribution as a % of GDP) ...Going from under 2% in 1947 to, now, a full 12% of GDP redistributed.
