As usual you've shifted the terms of the debate so we are talking about different things. I'm drinking coffee; you're drinking tea. And we're comparing tastes. My point is that the money that is collected in taxes is used for the kinds of purposes I enumerated. It amounts to a kind of redistribution--from Joe to other Joes and Janes, the result of which keeps Joe's business afloat. My guess is Obama wasn't talking about welfare but about getting jobs for people, building infrastructure (jobs), improving education (jobs), etc. So his use of the term "spreading it around" is in that context.
