Obama: "I Actually Believe In Redistribution"

[Polk]

CRS report: number of able-bodied adults on food stamps doubled after Obama suspended work requirement | WashingtonExaminer.com

He really Hates what our Country is...

And he is Hell-bent on making it something else...



peace...

That article is a steaming load of crap. Even assuming the author's claims are true (which we can't know, because the "report" he links to is a blank page), he's saying that rules were relaxed during a period of high unemployment. Next he's going to tell us about the evils of extended unemployment benefits. Newsflash: more people need food stamps during periods of high unemployment, because they're less likely to find work.

You get Angry when Faced with the 4 years of Empty Promises and Failure that is Obama don't you...

Longest period of +8% Unemployment not just for a President...

No, Obama's run is longer than Truman to Bush II Combined.

But keep Promising to Wipe People's Asses with other People's Money and you will Probably get another 4 years.

The very nature of government..is "redistribution" of wealth.

Income redistribution is a very important in establishing Socialism.

The European Countries currently being run by a Socialist Governments are in deep economic trouble. Yet our President is moving toward the European model.
I guess he expects a different out come. Socialism and Communism have failed. When is he going to admit it.

Samuel Adams addressed income redistribution.:The utopian schemes of leveling [wealth redistribution] and a community of goods, are as visionary and impractical as those which vest all property in the crown. These ideas are arbitrary, r despotic, and, in our Government, unconstitutional.[/B] Famous Quotes on Wealth Redistribution, Class Warfare and Envy Samuel Adams

The reason this isn't getting coverage is because:

1. It happened 15 years ago.
2. It's not even remotely controversial outside of wingnutta.

3. The context of it..is totally in keeping with the Constitution of the United States. Stated in the preamble..as the mission statment.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Jebus Tights...

Are you being Seriously with that "General Welfare" thing?...

What were the Policies and Laws Inacted by the Founders that Support they they Supported a Welfare State.

I'll be here.



peace...

Yup. PROMOTE the General Welfare. Not PROVIDE the General Welfare. Big difference between promoting something and providing it.

Your right. The FF would turn over in their graves if they could see the entitlments in this country. Our Govt paying people to have kids and paying their bills with tax dollars. Coronary city for the FF.

These are the same guys who pitched a fit when someone wanted our new Govt to give French settlers 15 grand to help them start out in America. The same French who helped us win our Revolution.

Once the public learns it can draw funds from the public largess the Republic is doomed.

Our FF were a tough bunch and way smarter than the current DC Clowns.

Don't you feel kinda stupid posting this now?


And right now, the GOPs in congress want to redistribute your wealth to military contractors in California and corn growers in Iowa. How do you feel about that?

Again another delusional non impact statement. Oblama is not doing anything different than any other president. Earned Imcome Credit and welfare have been aroung since the 1970's, but now it's a bad thing since Oblama is in office.

 

[NYcarbineer]

What the president said, if you bother to listen, is that he believes in redistribution to some extent.

Who doesn't?

I noticed that NBC got the rest of that Audio out as fast as they could...

I will take the what I know about Obama and his Past and his Connections and then Judge ALL of what he has said and done...

And at his Core, he is a Socialist.

Luckily he's not King.

The vast majority of the population wants to redistribute. People may want changes to welfare, but very few support getting rid of it. I've never heard of significant opposition to the Earned Income Tax Credit. I could keep going, but I think you get the point.

Welfare is appalling to me. I would love to see it reduced or eliminated. However I am not pissed about the Earned Income Tax Credit. At least these people are working for their money, paying the largest percent of their income to payroll tax, property tax & sales tax & doing great service to this country unlike the Wallstreet bankers who are stealing it tax free to boot. Even Adam Smith (the father of modern economics and capitalism) said that the rich should pay more percent of their wealth in taxes than the poor.

Adam Smith - "It must always be remembered, however, that it is the luxurious and not the necessary expense of the inferior ranks of people that ought ever to be taxed. The final payment of any tax upon their necessary expense would fall altogether upon the superior ranks of people; upon the smaller portion of the annual produce, and not upon the greater."

Adam Smith - "The subjects of every state ought to contribute towards the support of the government, as nearly as possible, in proportion to their respective abilities; that is, in proportion to the revenue which they respectively enjoy under the protection of the state."

Adam Smith - "The necessaries of life occasion the great expense of the poor. They find it difficult to get food, and the greater part of their little revenue is spent in getting it. The luxuries and vanities of life occasion the principal expense of the rich, and a magnificent house embellishes and sets off to the best advantage all the other luxuries and vanities which they possess. A tax upon house-rents, therefore, would in general fall heaviest upon the rich; and in this sort of inequality there would not, perhaps, be anything very unreasonable. It is not very unreasonable that the rich should contribute to the public expense, not only in proportion to their revenue, but something more than in that proportion."

Every nation redistributes its wealth. Can anyone name a country that doesn't redistrubte its wealth? In fact, many economic textbooks list redistribution of wealth as one the functions of government. How a nation redistributes its wealth is a responsibility of its economic system, government policies and economic conditions. England was heavy into the new world's economic system and as soon as the ink was dry on our new Constitution the government was involved in the new economy, at first helping business, then regulating business and in the Great Depression helping people. "Redistibution of Wealth" has now become a code word for the helping of people not business.

The nature of 'corrupt' government is 'redistribution' of wealth.

A good government does only what it is responsible for; nothing else.

 

[mmmjvpssm]

14 years ago?? Really??? Is that the best you can come up with? We have Romney saying last week that 47% of Americans are freeloaders but we're supposed to ignore that because you have something Obama said 14 years ago?

Speaking of which, has the full Obama speech been released? Or interview or whatever it was? Or does that only apply to Republicans

Come on, after all the times Willard has taken Obama out of context how can you be stupid and gullible enough to swallow this bullshit????

In the unedited version it was obvious Obama was talking about DECENTRALIZING RESOURCE DELIVERY!!!!!!

Obama: “How do we pool resources at the same time as we decentralize delivery systems in ways that both foster competition, can work in the marketplace, and can foster innovation at the local level and can be tailored to particular communities?”

The fact that Obama speaks of social programs and safety nets as his number one priority is where this redistribution issue will bite him in the ass.
When the federal budget has nearly 50% earmarked for social spending and when that spending is replete with waste and fraud, is where the concept of redistribution of wealth gets a swift kick in the balls.
To those on the side of the takers( Libs and progressives) redistribution of wealth means PUNISHING those who those on the left "have too much"..
To the left "it is not fair" that there exists haves and have nots.
In fact the political left abhors the concepts of capitalism, achievement, success and freedom to accomplish to the best of one's ability.
The left wishes to use redistribution of wealth to create "equality of outcome".
The act of taxation to fund government so that it can perform essential functions as prescribed in the US Constitution is NOT socialism.
