Democrats in America today are twice as likely as Americans in the Great Depression era to favor imposing heavy taxes on the rich as a means of redistributing wealth, according to data published today by the Gallup poll. A Gallup poll conducted April 7-11, in the lead-up to the annual deadline for filing federal tax returns, showed that 71 percent of Democrats believe the government should use heavy taxes on the rich to redistribute wealth.

Like, spread the wealth around, you know?
Back then Americans had pride...not gay pride.
What happens when they run out of other people’s money?
OK, I finally get it. Progressives finally do understand that the poor don’t create jobs - for them that’s quite an epiphany. So, if those ‘evil’ rich folks won’t voluntarily give up their own money to create any kind of job for those poor folks, they will take it through threat of government force and give it to the poor for doing nothing. In reality the Progressives prefer the taking method to the voluntary investment approach but they are trying to be ‘fair’ and offer those heartless rich folks a choice. How nice of them!
When the rich leave the USA, who will these parasites attach themselves to? Being a Democrat proves you have no concept of cause-and-effect.
“What happens when they run out of other peoples money?”
You know the answer to that - they just print more of it!
Just look at the demographics of today’s Democrapic Party and the “rich” and there you have all the answers you need
Look, then, to the poor for your next job.
Enemies. Enemies, and not our countrymen.
I'm glad to see that Gallup is now careful to make the distinction between "Americans" and "Democrats"! ;)
That's because America's Democratic party died a long time ago. They're really all Socialists now, flying under false colors.
Obama Budget 2.0 - Millionaires don't have a right to keep any of their hard-earned cash. It all belongs to the gov't
Being on relief used to be shameful.
Just show’s how much of the population is shameless...
Yep, it’s a battle of the makers vs the takers. The takers are those that work for gov’t, were elected to the gov’t, or live on the dole of the gov’t supporting their non-contributing life style.
When I was young, I was taught that we all had an obligation to our family, community and country to be a productive member of society. Those on the left would scoff at this notion today. As they see it, the folks going nowhere in life and breeding offspring that will also go nowhere are sure votes for a socialist like state.
