Obama, from the whole clip: "I think the trick is figuring out how do we structure government systems that pool resources and hence facilitate some redistribution because I actually believe in redistribution, at least at a certain level to make sure that everybody's got a shot. 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." http://politicalwire.com/archives/2012/09/20/obama_on_redistribution_of_wealth.html There is a word for that Obama, it is called raise taxes. Let me guess, old and out of context right?
Well you shouldn't tax for the purposes of giving it away just b/c a few people have more that "you" think they should have. They are taxed enough imo with our current "love" system of taxes... I would like to speculate on what is really meant, but his wording is foul. He should just be honest and say that some people make to much money.
everyone believes in redistribution. It's just a matter of who you are redistributing to that makes the difference.
