Re: Cruz, Palin join protesters at WWII Memorial
I have always got a kick when the Obama hater's cry "Obama's trying to redistribute the wealth." When all they would have to do is take 5 minutes of study to learn that "wealth redistribution" has been taking place for well over 30 years, before we ever heard of Obama, with the wealth being redistributed from the lower and middle classes to the rich. I suppose, in their mind's, that kind of "wealth redistribution," is just fine and dandy. But any attempt to funnel the money back to the lower and middle classes is just pure blasphemy. Fools. All of them.
No, you shouldn't cut a lot of fat. Americans have been led down the garden path into believing what the very wealthy want them to believe. It's time for a new way of thinking:
America has the second worst income inequality in the world, only behind Mexico. Once you are able to know and understand that you all should be able to start considering reality. And the reality is, the very wealthy have stolen the piece of the pie that should belong to the people. America also has the highest per capita average incomes in the world. So what's wrong with the picture?
Clearly the first hurdle to get over is upping taxation on the wealthy. That's how the wellbieing of the poor and middle class is going to be elevated.
This calls for a new form of capitalism, something similar to Canada's. It's called socially responsible capitalism and it needs to replace America's form of capitalism that is being promoted by the very wealthy in order to feather their beds at the expense of the rest of the people.
