Reverse Robin Hood


Why has no one called McCain out on his incessant use of the phrase "redistribution of wealth"?  Taking from the rich to give to the poor?  For the last 28 years we've lived in a redistribution system that takes from the poor and middle class and gives to the rich.  Isn't that what "trickle-down" economics is all about?  Isn't that what deregulation has accomplished -- American tax payers footing the bill for failed corporations, many of whom already received subsidies?  Barack needs to turn this around on the RNC, remind voters exactly which direction funds have been flowing, and the mess it has caused.

Uh, no. Let's see, you say that we've taken from the poor and given to the rich?? Not true - I don't think we've raised the poor's taxes. Have we? Hard to say that we've taken from them. How exactly have we taken from them?

Which deregulation are you exactly referring to that has caused failed corporations? Lehman didn't fail because of de-regulation. Bear didn't fail because of de-regulation. AIG didn't fail because of de-regulation.

Which de-regulation bills are you referring to?
