As Democrats tout the moral underpinnings of the federal health care system overhaul -- ensuring health care coverage for nearly all Americans -- one senator appeared to go off message when he said the legislation would address the "mal-distribution of income in America."
After the Senate passed a "fix-it" bill Thursday to make changes to the new health care law, Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., chairman of the influential Finance Committee, said the overhaul was an "income shift" to help the poor.
"Too often, much of late, the last couple three years, the mal-distribution of income in American is gone up way too much, the wealthy are getting way, way too wealthy and the middle income class is left behind," he said. "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."
That contrasted with the arguments Democrats have been making in the past year for reinventing the health care system: to expand health care coverage to 32 million uninsured Americans and tighten regulations on insurance companies while reducing the federal deficit.

Two million men can turn this around if you know what I mean.
I like the way you think!
We will do more than drive them underground, we will render them unable to come back ever again.
What the Heck, Montana ! Not the Western Spirit that
I know !
Of course it is, they will have you know that THIS Marxist plan is WHAT America voted for when they elected the Marxist in the WH.

They are “Democrat”, not “Democratic”!
What do they care that he let the cat out of the bag, now that the thing is passed?
He's probably just trying to shore up the base who thought the bill(s) weren't communist enough.
IOW, STEALING from the wealthy (and from the middle class, too).
Memo to Congress and Obama: God doesn't condone stealing and He will hold ALL of you accountable. Oh, I can't way for that day. : )
The problem with this law is that they enacted it just as their big cash cow, the Middle Class that they care about so much, is already running out of money. "The Rich" are the ones who democrats depend upon for support, so who or what do they plan to milk now? All who have tax deferred retirement accounts should start considering alternatives in case they consider the Argentine solution to this problem. I know I am.
Sounds like he was drinking again.
The data is bogus. Anyone that believes Biden and Pelosi have negative net worth - even using the ranges - is smoking weed. Anyone that believes that the poloticians are telling the truth is also smoking weed.
Where is Koch on the richest list? He has a chain of department stores that are not losing money. Where is Rangel? Oops sorry, his had “oversights”. Where is Jay Rockefeller?
Koch = Kohl. And he is on the RICHEST list. Apologies.
“Sounds like he was drinking again.”

Makes you feel all warm inside to know that we have senators who can barely form a sentence.
Question: If Biden were to return to the senate would the average IQ in the senate go up or down?

Not at all! You speak too hastily, my friend! They may very well be smoking crack cocaine, or snorting crystal meth or injecting heroin. They may even be full of a cocktail of prescription drugs taken in excessive quantity. There are many possibilities other than weed.
