I am curious why so many republicans are so worried about this? Wealth is currently being redistributed from the working class to the upper class. Obama seems to want to give more to the middle class and below, by taxing the wealthy.
I don't understand why it is hunkey dorey to funnel the wealth to the rich, but it is blasphemy to even suggest the distribution of more of the money to the working people? It seems like an interesting double standard to me. What is really strange to me is that most of the people who are crying about it are people who would actually benefit from it. Most are using talking points that have been generated by people who would be hurt by it though.

stealing your hard earned money and giving it out as a welfare check.

How many times does this have to be said to be understood? When you tax the wealthy, they are going to make up for the money taken from them by cutting expenses in other ways.
In other words, take MONEY FROM the wealthy, and the wealthy will cut spending to make up the loss by taking JOBS FROM the middle class.

First off I would like to point out the FACT that some people (even here in this thread) talk about "poor" people like they are some kind of leech, or lower life form that deserves to be poor and suffer.
The choice was made for them, and against their will may I add, by the rich fascist pieces of human trash who are sucking the life out of this nation like vampires.
They made their own choice and now they are poor because of it.
Plenty examples out there where people have pulled themselves out of the gutter and decided to not be victims. Obama for one is a good example.

Again it is about motivation to try to do better in life or to be satisfied with getting by like many I see in my area.
