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. |

Fact is most of you guys have no idea what communism and socialism is.

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. :error |
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.

I also like the whole latte line when John Mccains wife wore a 300k outfit to the convention.

lol yeah, it's just a catchphrase. Jump on board! yeeeeeeehaw!
And I'd really like to know the insurance provider who can cover a families major medical, incidental visits and catostrophic care for $5000 a year and a low deductible. And god help you if you have to buy it yourself. It's MORE likely that your deductible is closer to 5 grand and your coverage is closer to 15 grand. Mccains tax-health insurance "plan" is such a wasted effort. And made all the worse when he simply continues to mis-state Obamas plan. McCain continually insists that Obama would force you to accept goverment run socialist health care, and if an employer doesnt comply, they'll be fined. When all the while, for at least a year and counting now, Obamas plan has been clear that if you like and can afford what you currently have: NOTHING WILL CHANGE FOR YOU!!!! I mean come on. Someone actually thought this tactic would work? Oh sorry, maybe it's a strategy not a tactic.. yawn. Oh, and by the way... McCains health insurance tax rebate plan.. is a redistribution of YOUR WEALTH in the form of a tax rebate to deadbeats who can't afford platinum quality care!!!!! dont be fooled!!!!!! LMFAOOOOO :1orglaugh ok the horse is dead. Beat at own risk. |
I tried to listen to the video but they keep editing it and throwing messages in it that I'm supposed to interpret the way the edited context wants me to. I'll pass. You can keep drinking kool-aid if you want.
When you get ahold of the complete interview, let me know. I'd be glad to listen. |
people one check away from the street, heavily in debt and with no health care probably want a little redistribution lol ....

The $5000 tax credit was never meant to full purchase your health insurance. That would be akin to the government buying everyone healthcare but not raising any new taxes to pay for it. He wants to provide bigger tax incentives for people to buy care, and end the breaks for employers offering health care to employees, to basically do away with the employer based system and move toward a market based system where everyone is equal in terms or purchasing insurance. It's a fatally flawed plan to be sure, and the only people who would benefit in the end are the insurance companies.....but the $5K was never meant to pay for anyone's health care in full. |

Even taking the viewpoint that distributing some of the wealth from the well to do in this country to the larger base of Americans struggling paycheck to paycheck is EXACTLY what is going to happen, I still do not understand the argument of why this is a bad thing. Is it a bad thing to want those who are very needy to have just a little bit more security in the areas of food, housing and medical care?
The disparity between the very rich and the very poor has never been greater in the USA than it is now. For all the fat cats sitting and crying the blues because their retirement accounts are down 40%, it rings hollow for the low income family that waters down their milk to make it last longer and prays to God their car doesnt break down in between paychecks. A poster earlier points out that families making less than 20k pay no income tax. Isnt that a good thing? Because if they were paying taxes that would be outrageous. The fat cats spend 20k on their dining out per year, not their total family budget. Im shocked that a family in the USA can even live on 20k a year. How is that possible? I had this professor in undergrad that gave this lecture once that I will never forget. In that lecture he told all that students that when they left Cal-Berkeley and went on to be lawyers and doctors and engineers, to never forget that the wealth distribution in the USA is a heavily slanted pyramid. And that social services like welfare, food stamps and unemployment are the main line of defense that the wealthy have against angry mobs storming their neighborhoods with pitchforks and burning torches. Don't think for a moment that we are so civilized in the USA that this cannot happen. The day that comes that large amounts of the poor cannot feed their children or get medicine for their family and you will see anarchy. If you are rich, the smart play to protect your own security is to allow the governenment to invest in protecting the basics needs of the poor. |
How come republicans don't care about wealth distribution if its being given to the super wealthy?

The Palin/McCain ticket has its own socialist leanings:
During the 2000 campaign, on MSNBC?s ?Hardball,? a young woman asked John McCain why her father, a doctor, should be ?penalized? by being ?in a huge tax bracket.? McCain replied that ?wealthy people can afford more? and that ?the very wealthy, because they can afford tax lawyers and all kinds of loopholes, really don?t pay nearly as much as you think they do.? The exchange continued: YOUNG WOMAN: Are we getting closer and closer to, like, socialism and stuff?. . . MCCAIN: Here?s what I really believe: That when you reach a certain level of comfort, there?s nothing wrong with paying somewhat more. For her part, Sarah Palin, who has lately taken to calling Obama ?Barack the Wealth Spreader,? seems to be something of a suspect character herself. She is, at the very least, a fellow-traveller of what might be called socialism with an Alaskan face. The state that she governs has no income or sales tax. Instead, it imposes huge levies on the oil companies that lease its oil fields. The proceeds finance the government?s activities and enable it to issue a four-figure annual check to every man, woman, and child in the state. One of the reasons Palin has been a popular governor is that she added an extra twelve hundred dollars to this year?s check, bringing the per-person total to $3,269. A few weeks before she was nominated for Vice-President, she told a visiting journalist?Philip Gourevitch, of The New Yorker?that ?we?re set up, unlike other states in the union, where it?s collectively Alaskans own the resources. So we share in the wealth when the development of these resources occurs.? Actually, Ms. Palin, collective ownership of resources and sharing in the revenue is communism. And Mr. McCain, I think the idea of "to each according to his ability" came from the writings of Karl Marx. :thumbsup |

Isn't McCain's $300 billion plan to buy up bad mortgages redistributing wealth? If you believe what Obama is doing is redistributing wealth, you believe all the candidates with the exception of Bob Barr.

Oh yeah I didnt mean to sound like I thought the $5k was meant to cover fully. It's just one of those talking point things where I feel like each camp is fine just putting out their plan. Rather than focussing on attacking the opponents. Both have big trouble!
McCain today at a rally said that Obama would retreat in Iraq, but he (McCain) would bring them home in victory and honor! 3 sentances later he lambasted Obama for wanting to spend too much "while theres 2 wars going on".. Well which is it? |

Don't be silly. The middle class don’t count, only the rich.
Bow before Reagan you worm! ALL HAIL TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS! P.S. You hate America if you disagree with me. |
ok, so... let me get this straight.
Taking your money and giving it to the rich so that the government can own a majority share is good? Taking your money and giving it to average Americans who need help is bad? One is socialist and the other isn't? Is that how it is now? Or is one kind of socialism somehow less evil than the other? |
