RE: Obama - "I actually believe in redistribution"
Where in the Constitution does it mention the federal government having the authority and the duty to redistribute wealth? I don't think redistribution ever came up as an issue back in the 1780's when the Constitution was written.
Can I get a little help from our lib friends?

How dastardly.
Equality of opportunityis one thing. That is what conservatives fully support. But when liberals start talking about equality of results (Obama's dream), conservatives will fight against it every time.

Nevermind. Of course you do.
Of course he does. He believes in slavery. He believes that we're actually owned by the state, or US Government. That our "earnings" are not actually our earnings.
Without the right to property, there is no liberty. Yes, Progs, wealth and earnings are property.
Quote:Mitt Romney, like pretty much every other American politicians, believes in redistribution. Specifically, the “issues” section of his Web site says he believes in a progressive tax code, the Medicare program, the Medicaid program, the food stamp program, the Social Security program and pretty much every other feature of the federal government that’s involved in redistributing income.
And as my colleague Greg Sargent points out, just yesterday, Romney said, “I believe America was built on the principle of government caring for those in need, but getting out of the way and allowing free people to pursue their dreams.”

13 years ago. Really? Go ahead, have the Chinese give Sheldon Adelson another billion dollars to go spend on anti-Obama ads to spread the word....its not going to move the needle. Or get off the arrogant and misleading comments Romney said three months ago.

It's very similar to what the MLB, NFL,NBA,IRS do. It keeps things fair, otherwise the richer get richer and the poor get poorer until there is no way to become poor or rich.
