I don’t think with Obama and his ilk that it’s so much about lifting up the people on the receiving end of redistribution as it is whacking the crap out of those on the confiscation end.

Look at Obamacare - more people who had insurance lost it than those they were intending to insure who didn’t have it.

Oh, no doubt, I totally agree. In spite of everything he's done to raise unemployment on whites, blacks are even worse off than ever, not that they care. When they yell about not enough jobs, they are just saying what they know they are supposed to say, though many have already become brazen enough to admit the truth-they could care less about jobs, they just want to become accustomed to a higher standard of living on someone else's dime.

Redistribution isn't so much about giving the hard-earned wealth and income of whites to blacks (at least not the ones at the bottom, the ones in power skim their share, as seen in many school budget scandals under black administrations, not to mention the Detroits and Birminghams), it's more about impoverishing whites.

It's very simple. Tax the productive private sector, take that money and buy votes in a thousand different ways. It can be more Federal workers and connected liberal contractors. More Federal handouts to the gimme crowd
