This reminds me of the South Park episode where all the music artists were complaining that there money was being taken from people downloading their music, and one of them could only buy a toilet made of silver rather than a toilet made of gold.

What would the founding fathers say if we allowed 50% of the country to suffer so that 1% of the country could keep a slightly higher percent of their income? Do you think that is government by the people for the people?

Really you don't have to redistribute wealth in the form of handing them a check, but more in that they are taken care of if shit hits the fan, specifically when they need healthcare and what little retirement they had has run out.

 

I do understand why you think it's ok you take away there rights. They are rich and it makes them an easy target. None the less, it's wrong.

The time when you need to stand behind what's right, is when it's hard to do so. Not when it's easy.

Also, I would understand if the poor are poor because of the rich, but that's not the case. The rich are not holding anyone down.

Oh, and the bailout that I was adamantly against was the opposite. Talking money from the middle class and giving it to the wealthy. Equally wrong. 

So what is a more important right to protect?  That someone gets to keep a little bit more of their money, or that someone gets to keep their life?

 

 

Every dollar of mine you take, is time of my life you take away from me, as it took time to earn it. Why is my life worth less to you?
