We are talking about income here, not wealth. Why is it a virtue to take money from people who work hard and give it to people who don't work hard?

It isn't. But, I hope you're not implying that a wealth tax would be fairer.

Not at all.

I was simply making a distinction between earned income and wealth. They are very different concepts that the leftists confuse whenever it suits their purposes.

Obama makes it sound like income is never earned. To Obama, the guy working 30 hours at a part time, low skill, low effort job should have the same income as a person working 80+ hours a week starting a new company (and hiring new employees).
