Do either Barack Obama or his followers have any idea how many countries during the 20th century set out to "spread the wealth" — and ended up spreading poverty instead?

This is something I see a lot about our politicians. Regardless of the political ideology, for some reason, OUR politicians think they can make policies that failed many times elsewhere, work here!!

This is not only collective stupidity, it is arrogance of the highest order.

The Founders were intelligent, thoughtful men who gave us a system that has been the envy of the rest of the world and, yet, we keep electing people who think they can do better. Perhaps we need to elect people who might come close to doing almost as good as what the Founders created instead of morons who don't appreciate the elegance, simplicity and brilliance of the Constitution.

You're correct but sadly a good portion of the electorate are going to keep electing Reps that promise to give what deadbeats want.

It really is pathetic so many elected people keep trying the same things over and over that haven't worked and never will work.
