Most “liberals” LOVE the idea of “spread the wealth”, but they shy away from labels like “socialism”, “communism”, or “Marxism”.
The message needs to be
“How is ‘Spread the Wealth’ different from Marxism, Communism, & Socialism?”
“Senator Government- he’s running for the chance to SPREAD YOUR WEALTH!”
Right. OUR wealth, not THERE wealth.
We are rapidly trending toward a nation in which the majority happily embrace the notion of “spread the wealth.”
No, should be “Obama wants to spread YOUR wealth.”
That is EXACTLY the message
make sure to make it personal:
spread YOUR wealth
(not spread THE wealth)
We’ve hit it - get it to Palin!
0bama wants to spread YOUR wealth.
If you peel off the label, you’ll find that it’s just a re-labeled tub of turd polish.

Now we’re getting somewhere!
I don’t buy that for a second. The problem is we are framing it in a way that makes it seem that spread the wealth means a a few million from billionaire gates and spread it around. It must be framed as Obama wants to spread YOUR wealth around.
Completely agree. It is being framed as, “Spread billionaire Gates’ wealth around”. The reality is he wants to spread the wealth of All Americans around to people who make less. If you’re making 42 000 a year that’s OK, they say, because there are those who make 32 000
I knew this would happen once they stopped keeping score at kids soccer games.
Winners lose and losers win.
Spread the better-off peons wealth to the welfare peons.
The liberal elites get to keep theirs.
How do you spell: Marxism
“Spread the Wealth”
Most Americans are ignorant about the wealth of people that live like Bill Gates.
His charitable works are admirable, and charity always goes much further than the tax dollar.
But stupid, greedy Americans believe that if they were as rich as Gates it would be only about where they would live, the homes they would own, the cars they would drive, the clothes they would wear, etc.
They don’t understand that at the level in which Gates lives, there are only so many homes and pairs of shoes you can desire.
Life is about experiences, and Gates enriches his own life when he helps those less fortunate.
Charity is simple, because it is Biblical. But if America has lost its connection to Biblical truth, it is easy to see why they have turned to greed by taxation.
