RealClearPolitics ^ | March 25, 2010 | RealClearPolitics

Posted on 03/25/2010 3:56:13 PM PDT by i88schwartz

Sen. Max Baucus (D): "Too often, much of late, the last couple three years the mal-distribution of income in America is gone up way too much, the wealthy are getting way, way too wealthy, and the middle income class is left behind. Wages have not kept up with increased income of the highest income in America. This legislation will have the effect of addressing that mal-distribution of income in America."

Hey, Baucus, send me a few tens of thousands ~ small bills only. I’ll take good care of them.

True - everyone being unemployed and no one being able to employ will certainly even things out.

And from Montana. Don't let anyone ever tell you again that Montanans are conservative when they can put a rank communist like Baccus in office.

Yeah, it’ll “address” it by dragging everybody down to the lowest common denominator - pesky middle class gone, like magic!

What we have here is a demonstrated example of the real purpose of all of this. It isn’t really about healthcare; Democrats could give a shit about anyone’s health (but their own). It is about power - to shift the power to where they want it (to them), they need votes. They buy the votes with money stolen from people who earned it and give it to subhumans who don’t ‘want’ to earn anything, except by a trip to a voting booth (and they want to be paid for ‘that’ trip, too). Democrats and liberals are disgusting human beings.

Really Max? I thought it was about health care. Now it’s about redistribution of wealth? Well at least you’re being honest now.

The reason that there is such a wealth disparity is that we are importing cheap labor that depresses American wages. We are bringing in 125,000 legal foreign workers a month.

Max Baucus is a dead meat Democrat. He knows he is finished and therefore will do as he pleases for the time he has left.

This clip should be played endlessly by every Conservative candidate from now until November....and, everyone should send Max Baucus a note that he should send cash their way to “levelize the income disparity” between him and them.

Yes, the democrats are right... income is distributed, rather than earned.

Let’s all put our money into a box, and divide it by the number of people there are in the country. Then lets distribute it.

By the end of the week, 10 percent would have 10 times the original amount, and fifty percent would have have as much as they astarted with.

You eat what you kill.

the mal-distribution of income in America is gone up way too much

If the country's wealth was to be perfectly distributed amongst the population, I would argue that our society would be worse off. The people who have accumulated some wealth are, to a large extent, risk takers and entrepreneurs who have the drive and personalities to make things happen. Their efforts create products, services and produce jobs. Most of the rest of us just don't have those traits and would likely not put wealth to productive uses as would they.
