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."

Since you people won’t share we’re taking all income away.

With healthcare passed, they believe they have no need to keep the commie mask on, and are “coming out” in increasing numbers.

In a way, if not by actual design, the series “The Sopranos”, about organized crime lifestyles, might have as well served as a pilot test of public acceptance of SAME in govt...giving the Chicago Pol Machine great encouragement toward national aspirations. Perhaps it is proving not a good thing that the Sopranos series was so popular and prophetic.

I assume that mal-distribution will also address brain distribution? Because brains is what causes mal-distribution of wealth.

Every commie sh**bag utopia ends the same way, the tyrants guns come out when it all goes bad for the tyrant. But there is a problem this time.....

Karl Marx class warfare has been repeatedly tried, the free stuff runs out, the gulags open, the killing starts. The promise of free stuff always gets the useful idiots, it’s a wonder they haven’t figured that part out yet.

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.

I found out young that the same people always won at Monopoly, whether playing the short game or the long game.

The only times they didn't, was usually when playing by the unwritten Free Parking Lottery Rules

You are right, we are staring Obammunism tyranny straight in the eyes.

What will the Supreme Court do this time? They can stop it dead with a few rulings. They just might do that.

As I stood in line at the grocery store tonight after a stressful 11 hour day at work I watched the obese people ahead of me use their food stamps and thought "Gee, income in America is mal-distributed".

Too bad the work ethic isn't better distributed as well.

Oh, you are one of those EVIL capitalists.

Evil. Just Evil. (only kidding...you stated it perfectly)

These socialist-marxist scum in office think we should all be working for non-profits.

I work for a not-for-profit hospital. But we are self-sustaining and provide a valuable service to the community.

But the concept of a modern, thriving economy based on non-profits? Only socialist, communists could dream that up.

Income is not distributed

It is EARNED!

The reason that there is such a wealth disparity is that we are importing cheap labor ...

I respectfully disagree. I think it's simple math.

If one man has $1M in tax free muni's at 4%, his wealth will grow by $40k per year - tax free.

If another man has $20k ina mutual fund averaging 7%, his wealth increases by $1.4k per year - before taxes. Assuming he pays a marginal rate of 20%, that's really about $1.1k per year.

It's math. The rich get rich faster than the middle class because they have capital that is capable of growing.

That doesn't even touch the fact that most people on the middle to lower end of the earning spectrum are in debt.

Let me ask a rhetorical question-will this include his fellow congressmen who get fat at the public trough once they’re ensconced in government?

He will certainly not give you his BMW :)

The damn communists want to take other people money for distribution but not their own money. In fact they want to be the only ones with money but they want us the 99% of the population living a miserable poor life depending on them for survival.

We must REDEFEAT COMMUNISM.
