According to former labor secretary Robert Reich: (quoted in the Patriot)
"President Obama's new budget is, well, audacious--not just because it includes several big, audacious initiatives (universally affordable health care, and a cap--and-trade system for coping with global warming, for starters) but also because it represents the biggest redistribution of income from the wealthy to the middle class and poor this nation has seen in more than 40 years. ...It's about time a presidential budget unequivocally redistributed income from the very rich to the middle class and poor. ...Fairness is at stake but so is the economy as a whole. This Mini Depression is partly the result of a widening gap between what Americans can afford to buy and what Americans, when fully employed, can produce. And that gap is in no small measure due to the widening gap in incomes, since the rich don't devote nearly as large a portion of their incomes to buying things as middle- and lower-income people. The rich, after all, already have most of what they want."
This left me speechless. He is bragging!!! Why is class warfare so vital to the Dems? I heard Neal Boortz this morning explaining that the whole program is to get control of the people. If they control the education and the health programs they control the people of this country. Great future coming!! :-(((
