Below is a video/audio recording of Barack Obama in a 2001 interview talking about a 'reparative' strategy for wealth redistribution.
There is also a transcript of the audio available here, thanks to Power Line News.
This interview is a remarkable insight into what Obama thinks about taking your hard-earned dollars and giving them to someone else (he obviously knows better than you who needs your money and how it should be spent).
Notice how Obama thinks the constraints the Founders put on government through the Constitution are a "tragedy" and that he regrets that even radical Supreme Court makeups have failed to "break free" from those constraints the founders put there.
Some of those limits are exemplified in comments like these from the Founders:
A wise and frugal government...shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. – Thomas Jefferson
Congress has not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare, but only those specifically enumerated. - Thomas Jefferson

He’d better stay away from my weath if he knows what’s good for him!
Cool watching this unfold from the first post last night.
The news on the dem plans for 401Ks just keeps getting better and better...;)
“Workers who die before their retirement could bequeath only half their account balances to heirs; those dying after retirement could leave half their benefit minus benefits already paid out.”

I am afraid we are close to the tipping point.
Spread the wealth? Sure, why not? I want my slice.
If I mention that BO is a socialist, too many folks say “Yeah, so?”
Obama is a socialist, and he will say whatever it takes to get in office. And sadly he has the main stream media helping him out all the way.
I have noticed over the last hour or so the counter on the youtube is stuck at 442,968. Does this seem odd to anyone else?
Tax increases to not only the Middle class but to 100% of taxpayers are coming soon in 2011, when the Bush Tax cuts expire under Obama.

I skip the niceties and just say BO is a Communist who thinks he is smarter than the framers of the Constitution. He is attempting to REDEFINE the Constitution like the arrogant Communist that he is. We all need to get copies of the Constitution in our hands now, before it can no longer be found, except for rewritten versions of it on the internet. - The men who signed the Declaration of Independence paid with their lives, fortunes, and blood and pledged their sacred honor knowing the cost. Barack Hussein Obama is not worthy to bend down and latch their shoes. He and his Communist friends are messing with something they haven’t reckoned on.
INDEED! INDEED! INDEED!
he’s
a RADICAL MARXIST/GLOBALIST INTEND ON INSTALLING A RADICAL SATANIC GLOBALIST TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENT WORSE THAN ALL THE OTHER TYRANTS OF HISTORY COMBINED.

He does seem to be running for the King of the Earth. That honor has been earned by someone else.
INDEED.
Actually, he talks as though he knows he’s already been chosen by the kingmakers.
Idiots, all.
