Yeah, right! (/sarcasm)
I thought about that too when I was reading it.
I'm sure he has inverse redistribution in mind for himself.

He's running for Secretary General, in a UN with a standing army and taxing authority.
I don't wanna wait that long. No justice no peace!
Are you kidding?
I once asked someone in Cambridge, Mass. about why/how Rent control came to be there....since it was an insane policy leading to the eventual deterioriation and burning down of housing for the "poor" that rent control was supposed to provide. (Apartment owners who could not be paid enough under rent control to keep up their buildings would simply let them deteriorate until they became fire traps and eventually flame up and burn to the ground. This was happening over and over and over again in Cambridge.)
He told me: How did Rent Control come to be (even though it is insane)?
Because there are more "poor" than there are "rich".
And, in fact, the "poor" in the case of rent control ended up being doctors, lawyers, etc, who just happened to find ways to get some of the "cheap" apartments for themselves or their buddies - because they were "in" with the people running the rent control department!!! or they just knew how to use the system.
The same answer can be said for how come Behillary gets away with these outrageous "speeches" and he is actually listened to:
1. There are more "poor" in the world than there are "rich". All Americans are seen as rich to the impoverished of the world which encompasses the majority of the world's people. So, he has quite a willing audience.
2. The Mafia Boss will always take care of his "family" which means that the wealth is not really redistributed to the poor under the Communist Utopian "Vision". The wealth of those too poor or too tired or too worn out or even too frightened to fight the thug thieves will be deistributed TO ALL THE F.O.B.'S IN THE WORLD - just as was done with the Global Crossing riches!!!! Friends of Bill - Friends of the Thugs - Friends of "the Party" - The Party Elite Will be the ones getting the graft - and ALL THE THUGS OF THE WORLD ARE MORE IN THE WILLING AUDIENCE!
If Clinton's time in power proved one thing, it proved that there are more amoral, self-serving, greedy, thug Mafia types in "regular" U.S. Government positions and State government and even County Government positionsand in Academia and among the trial lawyers' "union of thieves" than anybody ever knew.
But King Billy knew.

This week, a report commissioned by U.N. and the charity group Save The Children describes "a widespread and 'possibly endemic' culture of exploitation", according to Save The Children manager Paul Nolan. The investigators were following-up allegations that aid workers in West Africa have been involved in the widespread sexual abuse of refugee children. [Source: Associated Press, 2/27/2002]
Bill Clinton fits right in with this bunch of scumbags.
You're missing Clinton's willingness to use bogus, scary-sounding figures to further his causes.
I'm still boggled by the way he spent several months stumping for gun control with the phrase, "the United States has a higher child gun death rate than the next 24 biggest countries combined."
Sounds bad, eh? Sounds like he's saying that even if you put the next 24 countries together, there still wouldn't be as many shot children as in the US alone, right?
Wrong.
The sleight-of-hand here is that "rates" don't get bigger when you "combine" them, they AVERAGE. What Clinton is *really* saying here is that the US rate for children killed with guns is higher than the average of the top 25 industrial nations -- not very scary after all. But he says it in a way that carefully makes it *sound* like "more kids get shot here than everwhere else put together". Or, some listeners may interpret it as "the US rate is the highest rate of any of the top 25 countries". Neither is true. What cynical propaganda.
To illustrate the problem, I could truthfully say that "my house has a higher rate of cat ownership than the other 90 million American households combined". What I'm really saying is that I have more cats than average. But it sure *sounds* like I own more than half the nation's cats, doesn't it?
Interestingly, his gun control nonsense uses the same sort of "confuse the listener about the distinction between totals and rates" dishonesty that he's doing with the AIDS speech.
Yeah, right! (/sarcasm)

In all seriousness, sometime after that occurs I intend to make a pilgrimage to his gravesite and relieve myself on it. I hope the line won't be too long, but it'd be worth the wait.
(And I even voted for the weasel in '92, please try to find it in your hearts to forgive me.)
