Redistribution of wealth?

You're just repeating phrases you've heard people you respect on tv say.
What do you think the so called Death Tax is?
What do you think President Obama was saying when he stated in reference to raising taxes:

“It’s not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they’ve got a chance for success too. My attitude is that if the economy’s good for folks from the bottom up, it’s gonna be good for everybody … I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”

In this context, he's not talking about taking money from anyone and giving it to anyone.

He's talking about the opportunity, "the chance" for wealth creation for ALL AMERICANS being a sign of a good economy.


His attitude is such as when the people on the lower end of the economic strata are moving up, then the economy is strong for everyone.


His attitude is not take from Peter and give to Paul-- which is how his attitude is painted by many of our GOP brothers.

No, he's saying I'm going to tax you..take what you earn...and use that to help those that are not at your level.

Check the link out. It's dated, but you'll see your handful of corrupt GOP'ers.

http://www.liberalslikechrist.org/ab...ruption-1.html


Bottom line?

With the GOP however, the argument is made that they are no better, or maybe even worse when it comes to issues of family values and morality!
a handful of corrupt politicians...wow did you search long for that? What does the UPC have to do with this anyways?

I think you confuse issues. It's not that Republicans claim to be morally superior. Their platform isnt "we are Holy and you are not"

"We as a nation need to return to wholesome family values" is not synonymous with :"Republicans are Holy and Democrats are evil"

And you know what? Capital Gains Tax don't hurt the rich. They hurt the poor who are trying to get ahead through investments.

Not from me.

I want to believe that most of the time, when America gets into a conflict or war, it's for just reasons-- ultimately.

The most recent Iraq war was not what I would call a just war by any stretch.

I would imagine you wouldn't say that if you'd be saved from the barbarity of Saddam and his sons......
