ALL TAXES are a redistribution of wealth.

Progressive income tax is redistribution of wealth.

We've had progressive income tax in this country for the last 95 years. By the logic people are trying to apply to Obama, that means every President for the past 95 years was a socialist.

By the same measure, John McCain is a socialist, because he's not calling for a flat tax or an abolition of income taxes altogether, he just wants to keep the 35% top rate instead of raising it to 39.6%.

Apparently, in this country, you can go from being a capitalist to a socialist with just 4.6 cents on the dollar.

Gimme a fucking break.
