You conservatives complain about word-parsing and the biased media, but that way of thinking works both ways. Obama used the best phrase he could to describe his goal of letting the common man compete with the wealthy few who run our country by calling it a redistribution of wealth, and now the right-wing media immediately claims that he is a socialist.

It's a bit hypocritical, and grossly immature.
Raise the income tax, capital gains, corporate tax.....lets see how many jobs are created with this "system".

You want to talk immature? Don't ya think that it's a bit immature for one adult to expect another to pay for his services? You want the government to play the "daddy role" and supply you with everything you need then don't bitch when he searches your room.

IF the better off want to help people out through charities they have that option whether or not to give their moneys and where they feel it's best needed. For example, cheap Joe Biden feels that you all have it VERY good according to his donation record.

Have a good one!:s4:
