when some of the republicans moan about "redistribution" when they have been doing it all along - only redistributing to the rich.

It is virtually impossible to redistribute from the poor to the rich. The "rich" pay almost all of the taxes in this country and the "poor" pay virtually nothing.

The bank bailout is going to be paid for by the "rich"....which is fine, since as I have said previously, they are the ones with the money. The goal of the bank bailout is to save the financial system but one of the byproducts is a redistribution of wealth....but it is basically a redistribution from one set of wealthy people to another set.
