Wealth Is ‘in the Wrong Hands,’ Mayor Says, Pledging to Redistribute It

New York Times ^

[I want the USA back]

What happens when you take all the money earned by smart, hard working people and give it to lazy dumb slobs? The smart, hard working people get the hell out and more people get in touch with their inner lazy slob!

[Bayan]

At least he is no longer pretending he’s not a Marxist.

“Brothers and sisters, there’s plenty of money in the world. Plenty of money in this city,” his prepared speech reads. “It’s just in the wrong hands!”

IOW, not enough in mine or my friend's hands...

[Pollster1]

Mayor Bill de Blasio is going to succeed in redistributing wealth - from the wallets of people who live in NYC to the wallets of the same people but soon to be living in other areas and never setting foot in that socialist cesspool again.

[Ohioan]

Does the incredibly wealthy Mexican, who now owns the Times, really find this to be acceptable "advocacy? Correctly understood, treating it as a legitimate position to demand the confiscation of the fruits of other people's labor & initiatives, should be treated as the idea of falsely yelling, "fire," in a crowded theatre. There can be no justification of this among people who respect natural law & elemental fairness.

Lies Of Socialism

“Brothers and sisters, there’s plenty of money in the world. Plenty of money in this city,” his prepared speech reads. “It’s just in the wrong hands!”

Haha....he's got that right. I want to see him redistribute money from a wealthy drug dealer.

Someone should ask Comrade Bill:
"What do you consider as your fair share of something that someone else has worked for?"

[genghis]

Could someone explain why he,shouldn’t be killed for saying things like this?

[Boomer]

So this commie wants to steal money from those who have it. Yeah; that’s a revolutionary idea that never failed before. NOT!

[OpusatFR]

Pass the popcorn, please.

[mtrott]

Right. It’s just brilliant idea to transfer wealth to people who will squander it on drugs, beer and liquor, lottery tickets, etc. Just brilliant. There is a reason why many of the “poor” are poor, which is continually making stupid decisions.

[TADSLOS]

“Brothers and Sisters...”

It’s ok, Bill. You can say ”Komrads”.

[bwest]

“Brothers and sisters, there’s plenty of money in the world.”

He’s presuming that there are only 2 genders!

Memo to anyone with a wallet:
Get out now while you still can.

[Hot Tabasco]

He casts himself as an aspiring Robin Hood — aiming to take from the rich and give to the poor

Robin took from the tax collectors and returned the monies to the merchants....If that's what he's advocating, I'm all for it.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Channeling Huey Long

Channeling Hugo Chavez.

If you took all the money and evenly divided it among all the people, a couple of years after, people that were rich before will again be rich and those that were poor will again be poor.

Of course this assumes a free market is allowed to operate. In the case of Blasio’s NYC, that won’t be the case and everybody will be poor.

[Bonemaker]

“He casts himself as an aspiring Robin Hood...”

Robin Hood was-anti government which sucked then as does DiBlowsio suck now.

[bigbob]

Prima facie proof he’s a communist.

[from occupied ga]

Yes it would be the hands of those who earned it and that just won’t do in the commie ahole’s world. It has to be stolen from the producers and bestowed upon the parasites to buy their votes. But you New Yorkers voted for him so you deserve everything you get. May NYC takes every last penny you earn because that’s what you voted for when you voted Democrat
