Why doesn't he redistribute the wealth from his paycheck?

DECEMBER 22--Here's the rental listing for the $9 million Hawaiian estate that President-elect Barack Obama is renting over the Christmas holiday. The five-bedroom estate rents for upwards of $3500-a-day and sits on an acre fronting Kailua Beach in Oahu. The online listing was removed from the Hawaii's Best Rentals web site after the Associated Press yesterday reported details of the Obama vacation retreat, which was purchased earlier this year for $9 million by Kevin Comcowich, a 40-year-old Houston portfolio manager.

Did anyone think that Stalin or Kim Jong-il lived in poverty? What Obama means by redistribution of wealth is that we take the wealth from the producers and give it to the parasites, such as Obama and his ilk. Socialism has never been about helping the masses, it has always been about empowering an oligarchy of demigods. Obama believes that everyone is equal, but some are more equal than others.

The title you created

"Obama believes in redistributing wealth, but his Hawaiian villa is $3,500 per day!"

did not match the source you linked and had to be changed.

Please do not alter any published titles and help us reduce the number of threads we have to pull. Thanks.

I don’t know of any. They seem to all be in it for personal gain, except for their “useful idiots”. But, a real socialist, who truly espouses egalitarian ideals, etc., would not live like royalty.

[ducdriver]

Because he was elected, but is ineligible to hold office?

[Nosterrex]

I’m not trying to pick a fight with you, but everyone that I can think of that would be a role model for a socialist is wealthy and powerful. If you have a specific person that you would identity as a socialist role model, I am curious just who that would be? Maybe I don’t know enough socialists?
