What do you mean "us," Kemosabe? If Howard Dean wants to push a job-killing agenda of higher taxes and other redistributionist claptrap, that's his business. But could he please spare us the faux populism?
In an email Dean sent out earlier today touting the "Inequality For All" house parties his DFA group is organizing [and what sounds like more fun than getting together to gripe about what other people have?], Dean wrote [emphasis added]: "These 'Inequality for All' Watch Parties are just the kind of action we need to start leveling the playing field between the 1% and the rest of us."
After the jump, view the record of just what a member in good standing of the 1% Howard Dean really is.

Lets see..the French tried that with Madame Guillotine. How’d that set with the rich?
All wealth, according to libtards like Dean, is first and foremost property of the government. Personal wealth, and personal property, are what individuals are allowed to keep after government lays claim to what it feels is needed.
Redistributionism is harmful for the well-being of the average person. A policy of seizure of wealth of capitalists, businessmen, and the rich to improve the consumption of the masses, is actually a policy of capital decumulation, which must destroy the foundations of the productivity of labor and thus real wages and standard of living of workers.
Taxation of incomes on estates of capitalists, businessmen, and the rich reduces the means and incentive of capital accumulation. This also has a negative effect on productivity of labor, and thus real wages.
Capital decumulation and a negative effect on capital accumulation also have a negative effect on overall economic progress, which leads to a negative effect on prosperity of the economy as a whole in the long run and leads to economic decline and decay.
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Not all enemies openly wear uniforms and use guns. Some of them wear $2,000.00 suits and use financial instruments and slick propaganda. Government power must be used to restrain them. The Constituion is not a suicide pact.
I wonder why we don't see him in the D prez conversation for 2016?
Sounds like this jackass is planning on running for president again.
If he can get the Chicago Mob on his team, he might just be the POTUS in 2017.
Not sure how Wacky Howie gets along with them.
Where we are losing is in having anything to counter: you can't really hold up Jobs or Gates as exemplars, their level of achievement is in the the top 1% of 1% of 1%. People need to understand that "the rich" are sometimes their neighbors, often their bosses, more than likely the owners of the local businesses they use...
My only regret is that the upper 1% are not earning even more. They are producing wealth — most of them work quite hard. They are not stealing from me. Nor are they feudal lords, old-South slave holders, or other labor demand monopolists.
>>>>>>>>>
Hard workers like George Soros, Jon Corzine, Lloyd Blankfein, and the men behind Solyndra?
***************
The rich can be hard working but dishonest. But we can deal with the dishonest under the criminal and civil law. My point is that the upper 1% are not stealing just because they are in the upper 1%. As for Soros, he has as much right to fund his causes as I do, even though they are wrong.
That would only be fair.
Great comment!
Let’s see him be the first to give up everything he owns to the poor and downtrodden.

He’s bat-sh!t crazy like they are.
Like anyone on the left they only get along when they serve each others purposes and will destroy them if they become a hindrance or an opponent.
I agree 100%.
As for Soros, he has as much right to fund his causes as I do, even though they are wrong.
I disagree. What he and his ilk fund is outright subversion. He would be hauled up in front of the House Committee on Un-Amercican Activities if it were still around.
The Dark side 1% are very ,very dangerous not only because they have vast resources at their disposal but they are within the city walls, as Cicero warned. They have to be watched like a hawk.
Works for me.
You can start by giving me half on your money, Howie.
No? You aren’t gonna do that? And neither are your friends like George Soros? You mean this is just propaganda to gin up the democrat base? Aww. :(
