If I hear "Income Redistribution" one more god damn time...

I think this idiotic rightwing talking point got it's legs that day the plumber idiot accused Obama of redistributing wealth.

The reason idiot the plumber had a car to drive to that event, a road to drive it on, is INCOME REDISTRIBUTION...

It is almost SOLELY responsible for every single positive thing idiot the plumber has in his life.


Without it there would be NO roads, bridges, military, infrastructure of any kind.

Our democracy was purchased by corporations, who have been systematically perverting it to enrich themselves at the expense of the people.

We need redress of crime.

the political system and the financial system at the expense of America's working families. These GOP policies redistributed UPWARDS to the financial elite the part of this nation's wealth that had once been part of a thriving middle and working class.

Follow the money. From where did it leave? Where did it end up?

Republicans BELIEVE in redistribution of wealth - UPWARDS.

Charlie Brown: Sally's really worried about the first day of kindergarten. I think if she even hears the word 'kindergarten' she will jump twenty feet in the air.

Lucy (walks over to Sally): Kindergarten

Lucy: That's only 15 feet. I knew you were exaggerating.
