And if he is using the tax code for wealth redistribution, I think
that's a good thing. And it's about God damn time! The extremely
wealthy wouldn't be wealthy if it weren't for the rest of us. But like
I said earlier, history has a tendency to repeat itself. And I doubt
that will ever really change.

The reason the Obama campaign got so upset about Joe the Plumber was
that Obama told him:
Obama said, "My attitude is that if the economy’s good for folks
from the bottom up, it’s gonna be good for everybody. If you’ve got
a plumbing business, you’re gonna be better off if you’re gonna be
better off if you’ve got a whole bunch of customers who can afford
to hire you, and right now everybody’s so pinched that business is
bad for everybody and I think when you spread the wealth around,
it’s good for everybody."

The campaign was embarrassed by the "spread the wealth" comment.
Sounds to me like he advocates using the tax code for wealth
redistribution.

And the other part of this is the conservative media myth that
Obama said that the government should redistribute wealth. In
fact, he has never said any such thing...
A common tactic of the cuckoo media. They have figured out that
their audience is weak on crucial life skills. So they take a few
words, move them out of context, add other words that were never
spoken, and roll out their fantasy-based ideological prescriptions.
Then the economy crashes. World temperatures soar. Food becomes
toxic. Prescription drugs kill us. Sick children get abandoned.
Allies leave us. Oops. Oh, and the greedy rich become richer. Well
at least something works.
