Why do you call it "distortion"?

Because she was speaking to people who paid $10K to hear her. I don't care where you live. Anyone who is comfortable doing that is rich.

Because Communism is exactly what it is.

LOL. I called that "socialism" on this thread not to long ago and was corrected. If it ain't even socialism, it sure isn't communism.

Nonetheless, I would still use the word, socialism, to describe it--with a vague wave at the hyperbole in doing so. Likewise I would say, "what do you expect?" The Dems are socialists, after all. Pretty hard to have a gag reaction over something that is part of the political picture and has been throughout my lifetime.

Well said Gina. I think also that Communism, Marxism and Socialism are now considered the same thing. Would be interesting to see the differences.

"From each according to their ability, to each according to their need."

Wonder how much tax Soros, Moore, Striesand, Kennedy, Kerry et al pay?
