Boy people are sure stupid. First of all doesn't even sound like him. Ok assuming it is him he NEVER said take money from the rich and give it to blacks or the poor. You hear the word redistributive and think it means one thing when it means another. Typcial neo-con racist thinking.

Does anyone have the full video clip to it? It seems like the interview is on the civil rights movement. How despite the Warren Court giving them rights, they didn't go far enough to make it fair. That's not a "radical" idea and many people believe that there should have been major changes following the decisions.

Barack Obama on Chicago Public Radio WBEZ-FM, 2001: The Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth, and of more basic issues such as political and economic justice in society... and one of the, I think, tragedies of the civil rights movement was, um, because the civil rights movement became so court focused I think there was a tendency to lose track of the political and community organizing and activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalition of powers through which you bring about redistributive change. In some ways we still suffer from that... MORE...

ALL TAXES are a redistribution of wealth.
Progressive income tax is redistribution of wealth. We've had progressive income tax in this country for the last 95 years. By the logic people are trying to apply to Obama, that means every President for the past 95 years was a socialist. By the same measure, John McCain is a socialist, because he's not calling for a flat tax or an abolition of income taxes altogether, he just wants to keep the 35% top rate instead of raising it to 39.6%. Apparently, in this country, you can go from being a capitalist to a socialist with just 4.6 cents on the dollar. Gimme a fucking break.

Earlier in the year he said that many people won't vote for a president based on his economic plan because they feel like no matter what the president says they (the voter) will end up getting screwed so instead many people cling to issues like guns and religon (things that can have real effects on them and that they can control) and vote on those topics. This has been the reality in this country forever, but he points it out and gets bashed. I actually applaud him for saying the truth on some of these things. I don't know that I fully support some of his tax plans (for example if you pay zero in taxes I'm not sure you should still be getting money back), but he is calling a spade a spade taxes are a redistribution of wealth no matter how you look at. |

lets just agree to disagree.
i give up, like i said before if obama was sipping lattes with osama bin laden you would probably want to dispute that he was discussing foreign policy. its just pointless now.

There is already a redistribution of wealth now.
It is called Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. If you support the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan or support the existance of the usa federal/state/city/county gov, then you support redistribution of wealth. |

Just because the Drudge Report acts like it's a huge story by putting it in bold type, doesn't make it so.
This won't gain any traction with the American people firstly because it's a somewhat technical interview and most people won't be able to even get the tone or the context of it. And second, times are too tough and people aren't falling for this anymore. They know Obama is not looking to turn America into some Socialist state. Such a suggestion is fear mongering and totally absurd. The funny thing is, the poor working class seem to get the most upset when it comes to this whole socialism thing when, hypothetically, it looks to help them the most. But that's why they are poor, because they don't look out for themselves like wealthy people do. But that's a whole different issue.

There are alot of working people who don't have any income tax liability, but they still pay payroll tax (FICA) and medicare tax, plus all of the other taxes that they pay when they go out and spend their paycheck (and these are people who have to spend all of it just to get by) It's not like he wants to raise taxes on the rich so he can increase welfare payments and food stamps, he just wants to give a break to the working people at the bottom of the ladder. People whose wages have gone down in real terms over the last 8 years, and who, because of their propensity to spend 100% of their income, will directly stimulate the economy with the extra money. The reason McCain isn't making any headway with this current line of attack is because it's disingenous. McCain voted for the economic stimulus package that gave rebate checks to people who had no income tax liability in the prior year. He's also proposing his own $5000 refundable tax credit for health care, and that $5000 would also go to people who aren't paying any income tax. Besides, McCain has never been a Gingrich/Delay type of Republican. He has a hard time making this argument because he doesn't really believe it himself. (remember he voted against the Bush tax cuts) If the nominee were Mitt Romney or Rudy Giuliani then at least this line of attack would be sincere, but McCain himself doesn't even believe it. Unfortunately for him, other than Jeremiah Wright, this is the only card he has left to play.

The guy couldn't answer. He went on to mention Chamberlain and the Nazi's, so Matthews asked him what Chamberlain did with the Nazi's.....again, the guy couldn't answer. This was a professional political operative (or elected official) and he couldn't even define appeasment or explain the mistakes Chamberlain made in dealing with Hitler. So it doesn't suprise me that most of the people posting about this stuff on message boards don't really understand what they're talking about. Quote:
Saying I'm a sheep who believes everything Obama says is ridiculous. Did it ever occur to you that 1) I don't agree with everything Obama wants to do, and 2) I have my own opinions and ideas about what my government should and shouldn't do, and when I get involved in a discussion like this it's because I actually support the policy? Quote:
He's not taking money from rich people and giving it to poor people. He's raising rates on the rich and lowering them and/or increasing the credit that lower class and middle class Americans already get. These are people who work and pay taxes (even if they're not "income taxes") They're going to pay a little bit less, and the wealthy are going to pay a little bit more. (Also, last I checked, Danny the crack dealer probably doesn't file a tax return, so it's not likely that he would benefit from Obama's plan. If you're going to create a straw man, make it a little more realistic next time) Quote:
After they spent a month practically calling him a terrorist, I doubt calling him a socialist is really going to cause much damage. Also, if you look at the cross tabs in the major polls, Obama is leading by a significant margin on the question of who would be better on taxes. So the republicans really aren't making any headway with this line of attack.

Obama will further redistribute that wealth when he starts giving money to people who don't even pay taxes. For example if you earn say 20K a year and are married or have kid you will have zero federal tax liability. Those people pay nothing in federal taxes (although they do pay FICA/social security taxes) and they will actually get money from the government. The question then becomes is that a better economic policy than giving that money either back to the rich or just to the rich? You can argue that if you give a company or a wealthy person 100K in tax cuts or just free money they may invest it or do something with it that helps create more money and more jobs and it could help the economy. If you give 100 poor people 1K each in cash you can bet they will spend it and that money then creates demand for products and causes companies to grow and expand and helps the economy. Which is better? There are great arguments for both and the reality is probably somewhere in the middle. We have tried it one way for 8 years now, I guess we will be trying it the other for the next four and see what happens. All that said, I still don't see the big deal in calling taxes what they are. They are redistribution of wealth, pure and simple. |

I'd like to see a full transcript of his interview. There were several parts in the audio recording that sounds like it was only part of a line. It is pretty easy to do some editing and make a whole new conversation or take things out of context.

By the way tell me EXACTLY what you expect McCain to do be specific. Also remember that sicne he's the President and not Congress he can't enact legislation only CONGRESS can and remember that the democrats controll congress. Now after you think about all that please come back here and tell me what exactly McCain promissed that he will able to accomplish? Just remember in 4 years after all his prmoisses are broken and he's not liked by the GOP really. He will be defeated and you'll get at least 4 years of Hillary Clinton. Sometimes you need to look at the BIGGER picture. So go ahead vote for McCain. |

The industry we work in can die off. If it does then we'll all find other ways to generate income. Our country is more important than what I do for a living to me. Anyone that votes due to being in this industry is a moron. (no not a moran lol) Porn goes through cycles. Internet is the hot ticket now, might not be 5 years from now. People used to think dvds were the huge thing. Dvd market is dying. What if they develop holographic lifesized images that can make you orgasm without you touching yourself? Guess what Kiss images and vids goodbye. Maybe they will invent robo sex slaves that you can change the skin, face, ass, boobs, pussy, etc on? Good bye to our biz. Country first. This industry is just a flash in the pan in the overall scheme of things. There is your answer. Like it or not. |

To be fair, most Americans should know what is meant by appeasement. On top of it a guy who has been touting it as a talking point for a week. I mean 5 minutes on Wikipedia before you head on national TV would have solved his problem.

Not true... right now in the US, taxes are a form of military income. You pay taxes, it goes to the military.
Well, I should say that's how it was. Now your taxes will go the the military and to the rich banker and insurance giants. It's the thought of taxes actually going back to the people that scares many Americans. It's not borrowed to add to the deficit. It's not money going to the rich or military. It's not the American way. |

It's funny that every cent of everyones tax money is always redistributed among everyone else in the form of everything our government does with the money.
Another funny thing is Bush's "tax rebate" incentives. Literal redistribution of money. Literal, factual, indisputable redistribution of taxpayer "wealth" to all taxpayers. lol. What? Not socialist because it's a republican plan? Oh. Ok. ![]()

THe problem with Sticky and I like Sticky alot and a whole lot of people is they listen to pundits. Sticky is voting against his own best interests and for the interests of very rich pundits.Like giving a hard working family a hand is welfare but Mccain wanting to give oil companies a 4 billion dollar tax break is acceptable or all the other corporate welfare that goes on.It makes no sense. Also Sticky if it wasnt for government funding there would be no internet.
