What is important, though -- what REALLY matters, is that Obama intends to redistribute wealth. Did the Bush tax cuts redistribute wealth?

>>> people who make less than $250k will pay the same amount of taxes they currently pay or don't pay or less. Actually, he did slip in a little change to this last week. It is now $200K. Nobody noticed, though. What is important, though -- what REALLY matters, is that Obama intends to redistribute wealth. Take money from those having more and even things out. So, we all make the same amount of money. Obama doesn't deny this and in fact, was on video last week putting it in those crass terms -- "it won't hurt if we take a little from these guys who have so much and give it to those who don't" -- wealth redistribution, that's what it is about. No, he is eliminating Bush's tax cuts which should never have been implemented in the first place. It won't do to have some people making more money than others. Even if they happen to work harder or smarter or just be lucky enough to fall ass-backward into it. OMG, the gap between the rich and the poor is so large in this country, it would take massive tax increases to level the playing field. Take your sob story to a hollywood producer...........they may turn it into a science fiction screenplay. Obama thinks the gang members in East St. Louis ought to have as much money as inode does. They are, after all, poor and disadvantaged and inode has had it all given to him. Inode didn't work 60 and 80 hour weeks his entire adult life to get what he has. He didn't spend countless hours studying and working hard in school to get an education that would give him whatever advantage he has had, and countless hours flipping burgers while in school to pay his way through school. It was handed to him. You're lying again. That's bad for your karma. You should stop.
