Globe Columnist Admits Dem Majority Could Bring 'Roaring' Redistribution of Wealth

Thanks, Bob Kuttner. You might doubt my sincerity. But really, I mean it. With Nancy AWOL, and Charley Rangel endlessly recycling his line about not buying green bananas at his age let alone speculating about what he would do as Way & Means Chairman, perhaps Americans have lost sight of what the Dems have up their sleeve if they get back the majority. So in all sincerity, thanks for telling it like it is.

In Nervous excitement builds for Democrats, Kuttner lets the Dem cat out of the bag:

"We are about to get something all too rare in Democratic politics lately -- some progressive leadership . . . With a little gumption on the Democratic side, the lopsided distribution of wealth, security, and opportunity in America could come roaring back."

Hear that, folks? With Nancy, Charley, Barney & friends at the helm, we could be embarking on a period of the radical redistribution of wealth by government fiat.

Psst: Bob, that voicemail is from Nancy: "Kuttner, couldn't you keep your mouth shut for three more days?!"

Aside: Kuttner frets over "how many votes [Republicans] will hide, deter, or steal." If you're a Republican reading this, wouldn't you love an election in which every vote counted and there was zero election fraud? Me too.

DISCLAIMER: KUTTNER'S THE GUY WHO WROTE THE GLOBE COLUMN CALLING FOR THE 'ROARING' REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH. FINKELSTEIN IS ME, GOVERNSLEAST, WHO WROTE THE NEWSBUSTERS COLUMN CRITICIZING KUTTNER. PLEASE ADDRESS COMMENTS ACCORDINGLY. We now return to our regularly-scheduled thread.

I forget the name of the obnoxious liberal DNC guy on FNC's Saturday financial show with Neil Cavuto - was pretty excited about this and also proclaimed the DemoncRATs would drastically "reign in" the Defense budget.

Very funny ;-)

Baloney. Chicken Littleism at its most rank.
If Republican control of all three branches of government couldn't even defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the least useful pork in every budget, how is the transfer to the Dems of an almost equally split Congress going to make for drastic changes in society?
We lived for forty years with a Dem majority in Congress and went socialist at roughly the same degree as the current big government administration has taken us.
These Casssandras with their weeping and wailing have either no sense of history or think you don't. Shame on the fearmongers.

The Demons won't be happy until they force a civil war in this country....with the patriots against the redistributionist Left.

THAT will make our military a happy, happy place to work..and their morale will just shoot way up!! /s

For what reason does this guy want "the lopsided distribution of wealth" to come roaring back?
