Redistribution of wealth according to Palin
Just a thought on Sarah Palin's mentioning of the "redistribution of wealth in this country." You know a lot of wealth was redistributed to the wealthy in this country by the stagnation/freezing of worker's wages. This was accomplished, in a way, by deliberately keeping the minimum wage low. A lot of employers use the minimum wage to base their workers salaries. If it is kept low, so are everyone's wages, especially in health care and manufacturing. So in my opinion a lot of workers were "cheated" out of their share of the good economic times. They have not benefitted from their actual labor, without which, that wealth could not have been generated in the first place.
