Spread the wealth around.....that’s your entire case for Marxism........so maybe Obama just like Republican is just STUPID as you say for raising taxes.....why you assume the worst about him and not them?

I want to spread the wealth around.

Its not healthy for society for 90% of the wealth belonging to top 5-10%.

Government should be looking into what can be done so poor have a chance to do better.

How to increase the number of college graduates in Appalachia or ghettos, wherever people are getting left behind.

There is nothing evil or marxist about trying to do that.

Progressive income taxes are a profound evil. It empowers pols to divide and conquer, to set one group of citizens upon another. It is also unequal treatment under the law, a gross violation of the 14th Amendment.

If you are for the redistribution of wealth, you are a marxist also. BTW, top 5% does not own 90% of US wealth.

Question, what is this national security force supposed to do that the: FBI, INS, ATF, Transport Security, Customs and border, Citizenship and Immigration Enforcement, Customs Enforcement, Secret Service, Coast Guard, state, local and county police and sherifs etc. do not do?

Spreading the wealth is not Marxist if it is done voluntarily.

It is when you do it from the barrel of a gun or Governmental decree, as you are proposing.

You will find, Evil in and of itself, and I mean TRUE evil, is very seductive. It will give you something you want, or make a concession to you, for something far more precious. It will give you more scholarships and maybe even the eventual goal of "Spreading the wealth around", at the price of more Government, and more control.

Government will never create wealth, and by penalizing those who do, you are penalizing the whole of society.

There is one fundamental flaw to your reasoning, you expect the Government, who bankrupted SS, you correctly distribute the wealth. That's analogous to entrusting a Kleptomaniac to wire money to your brother in Dallas.

0bama is either stupid or dishonest when he claims that he wants to raise tax rates to raise more total revenue so he can "spread it around". Raising tax rates always results in less total tax revenue. Lowering tax rates always results in more total tax revenue. John Kennedy realized this in 1962. I don't think 0bama is stupid.

I want to spread the wealth around.

Spread your wealth around all you want--keep your hands off mine. You must think "rich" people (I'm not one of them) are like Scrooge McDuck, who keep their money in huge piles in vaults so they can go into those vaults and play with their money. Rich people invest their money into silly things like new businesses that create jobs for people like me. Unless you work for government, which is likely, your job probably came from some "rich" guy.

Its not healthy for society for 90% of the wealth belonging to top 5-10%.

Says who? The "rich" do a much better job of spending, saving, and investing their money than "poor" people do. That upper 10% already pay 90% of the taxes in this country. Why don't you and your esteemed leader just confiscate all of the rich people's income and distribute it equally to everyone? Of course, you could only do such a scheme once (remember the story of The Little Red Hen?). Moreover, within six months of such a Marxist redistribution, you and all the other formerly "poor" people would be poor again and the formerly "rich" people would be rich again because...."A fool and his money are soon parted..."

Government should be looking into what can be done so poor have a chance to do better.

Government has been looking into this "problem" for over 40 years with it's hugely successful War on Poverty, spent over $6 Trillion on it, and, according to you and all the other poverty pimps in the democrat party, we now have more poor people than ever. That is the definition of insanity.

How to increase the number of college graduates in Appalachia or ghettos, wherever people are getting left behind.

People are getting left behind because life is a fast moving freight train, and they are too lazy to get out of the hammock you and the other poverty pimps have created for them using other people's money.

There is nothing evil or marxist about trying to do that.

As long as you use your money for it, and if you can persuade me and others to voluntarily give of our resources, then you are right. But the minute you use government to try to force me or others into slavery to fund your particular vision of "justice" then you are an evil marxist.

Feel free to start with your own wallet.

Perhaps the bottom 90% should find a better way to get wealthier.

Government should be looking into what can be done so poor have a chance to do better.

Government should get out of the way.

How to increase the number of college graduates in Appalachia or ghettos, wherever people are getting left behind.

Return to the days where success is viewed as good, and failure is not rewarded.

There is nothing evil or marxist about trying to do that.

There is if you loot as the means to accomplish your task.
