Obama's redistribution scheme to "spread the wealth around" was always misunderstood by voters.

Obama is not spreading the wealth to America's poor, he's sending it offshore to his pals in Syria, Egypt, and Jordan.

He's buying Russian helicopters against the orders of Congress.

He's laundering it through failed "green energy" companies.

But for the poor, he's only giving them free Obamaphones to keep them entertained, and EBT cards to keep them fed.

about the rich being too rich and the poor being screwed.

In a free society, one of the main factors that increases the standard of living of the average worker, is for production and supply to increase, which causes prices to decrease. But, thanks to Keynesian libtards, government spending, deficits, and huge increases in the money supply has prevented that.

So, what’s stopping him from going after offshore assets? They’ve already bullied Switzerland into giving up the names of American account holders.

Same game, different location.

If he moves in on bank accounts, the wealthy buy condos in Honk Kong, Brazilian mining shares, collectible cars-art, physical items.

Always zig while they zag.
