But you can't say the phrase can ever be taken out of context. It was in
the context of taxing the wealthy more the the middle class less.
And I see we unearthed a Marxist who approves.
Marx's slogan: From each according to his ability, to each according to
his need.

Having just read the entire "Joe the Plumber" quote for the first time, the
impression I get is he was saying that the economy functions best when there
is prosperity at all levels.
However, the phrase "spread the wealth around", when taken out of context,
does sound like socialism (which we in the US disdain). I'm sure Mr. Obama
regretted that choice of words. However, it didn't matter much in the end.

And if he is using the tax code for wealth redistribution, I think

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.
