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."
The top quintile of Americans earned 55.7% of pretax income and paid 69.3% of federal taxes in 2006, according to the most recent CBO data. But the Vice President isn't buying the idea that the wealthiest are already paying their fair share, noting the top 1% of earners get 22% of all income made in the U.S.
"Taxes have been lowered for the wealthy considerably over the years," he says. "It's about time we get a little tax equity here."

I’ve long heard that a government that steals from Peter to pay Paul can always count on the support of Paul. It’s true enough, after all. But what happens when Peter one day decides he’s had enough and pulls a gun?
Hey, Joe, by your definition bank robbers who are “redistributing wealth” are “just being fair”.
Idiot.
Ok Joe, as a middle class taxpayer I am going to demand my fair share specifically from you, BO, Soros, Buffet and the rest of the democrat party. I demand 2% of each of your yearly income to make it fair. After all, I work much harder at my job than you rich leeches so fork it over. By the way, I’m going to tell everyone I know to demand their “fair share” from all of you rich turds; this is all your fault after all.
On the other hand, if you don’t want to do that then I demand that the government calculate how many people I will now be taxed to support and I demand that I be able to write them off on my taxes as dependents.
This is all in the spirit of making it all “fair”.
FUBO
Possibly the dumbest.
It's not "fair" that these people get to have so much. < /sarc>

Nah, he’s telling the truth. Just his version of it.
Then the government sends it its goon squads and either kills Peter or arrests him and puts him in jail forever.
Peter gets arrested for “resisting government authority”, if he isn’t shot on the spot.
Leftists will never admit the use of deadly force backs up their “good intentions”.
If any lefty ever tells you the government should require X, make them say “I agree that a person should be killed if they don’t do X”.
Okay Joe... you have more stuff than me. I want your stuff... Just being “fair”...
Oh wait. That’s stealing. Only difference is that you sanction it through a “law” and you have enforcement power. There is no moral difference.
Makes 'em a matched aet.
“It’s a simple proposition to us: Everyone is entitled to adequate medical health care,” Biden says

Why? Where does he get the basis for his proposition that everybody’s entitled to “medical health care”? Certainly not from the Constitution. Being patted on the head by this absolute embarrassment of a “public servant” makes me wanna puke.
Colonel, USAFR
Actually, Joe, the middle class gets screwed the most by your income redistribution schemes.
You know, I wonder if BO chose him as an insurance policy. Figure that no rational person is going to make a try for BO with the threat of Biden waiting in the wings.
That and Biden makes BO look positively eloquent and intelligent.
Exactly: we should always make it a point in argumentation to make Liberals admit that what lies behind all of their lofty peace-and-equality bullshit is the point of a gun.
They don’t want to think beyond “I feel good about myself for advocating this”, and making them state that they are willing to have people killed for non-compliance bursts that bubble.
BTW, I’ve halted a discussion on a lefty topic by demanding that, before they go any further, they admit it -
and rather than doing so, I got the equivalent of hands-over-the-ears and “la la la I can’t hear you”.
That and Biden makes BO look positively eloquent and intelligent.
LOL...I've had the exact same thought. Every time I think of Biden I hear that bit from him...First priority is a 3 letter word...J O B S, jobs. Liberals slammed VP Dan Quayle for misspelling Potato, but I bet even Quayle could count to 4. As an aside, the story I heard was, Quayle was looking at the card they gave him with the spelling bee words and they had potato misspelled on the card so he was just reading it the way it was. I don't know the truth to that, but sounds plausible.
OK. let’s be fair, Joe you hand over 80% of your income to us and we’ll distribute it to those who need it.
Fair enough?
Some Freepers have wondered why the Mossad doesn’t do a dirt dump on Zer0 and prove that he’s unqualified for office. Now you know.
As Rush would say, these people believe every dollar you have is a dollar they let you keep but is theirs.
