No, he didn't say that "they" (by which I assume you mean the Obama government) would spread it around. The full quote has already been posted, but what he said was that it's better for everyone when the wealth is spread around, as opposed to the wealth being concentrated in the hands of a small number of individuals. The purpose of our Keynesian progressive tax code is already to "spread the wealth around", so what he was saying simply reflects what the progressive income tax already tries to do. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
