>>I'm all for money moving in and out of Joe's pocket and the pockets of others be it via commerce or government. Except one. I find the government taking money from Joe's pocket and putting it directly into what it decides are more deserving pockets, aka redistribution of the wealth, both (a) wrong and (b) not sustainable.<<

Karen -

I'm interested in knowing why you keep going back to this idea. I don't know of any Obama plan to take money from one group's pockets and put it directly into the hands of another group.

It seems that you are reacting just to his use of the phrase, "spread the wealth." Looking at his actual tax proposals, which are spelled out with a fair amount of specificity on his web site, especially in the downloadable PDFs, I just don't see the problem.
