“You call it ‘redistribution’, I call it ‘just being fair’; what’s the big &*%@)$ deal?!”

Just noticed our FA town sheriff beat me to this; but, still...can't get enough of Joe Biden interviews:

[VIDEO AT SITE]

Yahoo! Tech Tickers' Aaron Task in his interview with VP Joe Biden yesterday, where Biden essentially admits this is a redistribution of wealth...he just doesn't prefer to call it by that phrase:

There’s also the issue of whether these tax cuts, in conjunction with the health care reform bill signed last week, represent a redistribution of wealth in America, as many claim.

“It’s a simple proposition to us: Everyone is entitled to adequate medical health care,” Biden says. “If you call that a ‘redistribution of income’ — well, so be it. I don’t call it that. I call it just being fair — giving the middle class taxpayers an even break that the wealthy have been getting.”

Almost all the middle class has insurance. Only the lazy and parasites do not have one.

It’s fair to keep what’s YOURS and EARN YOUR KEEP.

An honest day’s pay for an honest day’s work.

wealth redistribution - I have a problem with that phrase. As if the wealth was unevenly distributed by demons, so the saviors of our society have to “re” distribute it as they see fit.

What Biden means is that it is fair to take from YOU and give it to someone else, but you can be certain that Biden and Obama will create loopholes for rich liberals and politicians to be exempted. Everyone is equal, but Biden and Obama are more equal than others.

This statement needs to be a central part of Republican strategy for the upcoming election...

Of course, they won’t do it, just like they won’t repeal Obamacare...

So, it is fair when you have put yourself in debt up to your eyeballs to afford the education, sacrificed for years to build up your business and given a job to many employees. It is fair to give your money to those who have not shared the risk nor grown the wealth? Hell no, Biden!

Is the Obama Regime as ignorant as Biden?

Hey lets tell Biden to give up all the money he earned from his many years of disservice to the country. we can redistribute his wealth, se is not this fair. When spoken by a clown, remove the money from the clown, he may think otherwise when he has the money he supposedly earned fairly distibuted to others. Biden the Clown. make sure he checks his bulbous red nose and oversized shoes, they just might be full of crap from having his head up Obama’s backside.

Even when my kids were 8 years old they knew what “fair” was better than Biden.

Of course, at the age of 4 they had learned that “life isn’t fair”. With this commie in office they understand that even better.

What you are describing is fascism, not socialism. You see under the Obama plan, the people won’t actually get anything, or own anything that is not controlled by the government, there is no real redistribution of wealth. The wealth flows from the industrialists to the government and the government apparatchiks and redistributed as services to the worthy citizenry according to their party loyalty and maybe their skin color, but party loyalty comes first.

Who said life was “fair?” I’m against the “Fair” Tax, too.

Life, Liberty and Property [changed to Pursuit of Happiness]. That’s it. Not FAIRNESS.

There is no fairness in the Declaration of Independence and The Constitution.

Giving the same value to fiction as to fact in the interest of so-called fairness is to mislead the American people and the press has become party to that.
Joe Wilson

Fairness:
1-conformity with rules or standards
2-ability to make judgments free from discrimination or dishonesty
3-An administrative law principle. The “duty to be fair” means the medical adjudicator keeps an open mind in reviewing the evidence in a case and carefully reviews all of the evidence to determine if the person meets or continues to meet the “severe” and “prolonged” criteria. ...
4-Achieving the right balance of interests without regard to one’s own feelings and without showing favor to any side in a conflict.
5-The attitude of being just to all

As long as it’s a living human being trying to be “fair” there will be no “perfect fairness” at all.

Fascism and Socialism are types of totalitarian forms of government in which the state controls everything, including wealth and distribution. The government or state determines who gets what, when, and how much. It really does not matter whether it is fascism or socialism, for in both systems the individual is screwed.

What you are saying is that Neo-socialism and fascism are the same thing. Mussolini hated socialists, he would not appreciate anyone conflating fascism with socialism. It’s like anarchism, the neo-anarchists are nothing like the anarchists of the 19th century.

No doubt someone that is educated in the finer distinctions between fascism and socialism will probably disagree with me on lumping the two together; however, in reality there is little difference, if any, between the two. Whether the state controls all wealth, production, and distribution is called socialism or fascism, it is a totalitarian state. Everyone serves the state. We think of Nazis as fascists, and yet they called themselves socialists. Are we headed to socialism or fascism? Neither one is good.
