Where is McCarthy when you need him. “We’re set up, unlike other states in the union, where it’s collectively Alaskans own the resources. So we share in the wealth when the development of these resources occurs.” – Gov. Sarah Palin, July 2008 There’s one big difference between me and the others — I won’t take every last dime of the surplus and spend it on tax cuts that mostly benefit the wealthy. I’ll use the bulk of the surplus to secure Social Security far into the future to keep our promise to the greatest generation.” –McCain campaign commercial, January 2000. Sixty percent of the benefits from his tax cuts go to the wealthiest 10% of Americans — and that’s not the kind of tax relief that Americans need. … Gov. Bush wants to spend the entire surplus on tax cuts. I don’t believe the wealthiest 10% of Americans should get 60% of the tax breaks. I think the lowest 10% should get the breaks. … “I’m not giving tax cuts for the rich.” –John McCain, Jan. 5, 2000. “We give the millionaire a $2,000 refund. Gov. Bush gives him $50,000.” –Quoted in “John McCain: How Straight a Shooter?” by Jeff Jacoby, Boston Globe, Jan. 27, 2000. "I have never engaged in class warfare. I am very much in favor of tax cuts for middle-income and lower-income Americans. I’m deeply concerned about a kind of class warfare that’s going on right now. It’s unfortunate. There’s a growing gap between the haves and have-nots in America, and that gap is growing, and it’s unfortunately divided up along ethnic lines. I feel very strongly that we ought to have middle-income and lower-income tax cuts, and we’ll be getting into it, I’m sure, later on in this program. Mine are basically comparable to Gov. Bush’s, in some cases far better. But I’m not sure we need to give two-thirds of that tax cut, of that money, to the wealthiest 10% of America.” John McCain – Michigan Republican Debate, Jan. 11, 2000.

Face it, we are a consumer society, our economy is based on consumerism, and the more people out there spending money the better off we all are. Me, I'm hoping like hell for an Obama tax increase. I'd rather make over $250K and be taxed a little more than make less and get a tax break. Spreading the wealth around is a Democratic principle, not socialism.

Unless he's being sarcastic, maybe the question is honest. The amount of disinformation out there is about the only growth industry functioning today.

There are also tapes from shows he did in the early 90's where he used this same term when discussing the constitution and it's failure to provide for distribution of wealth. Hussein fails to understand the constitution provides opportunity, it's up to the individual to succeed or fail due to their individual abilities. To take the assets of one group to support another circumvents this belief. The wealthy, since we now live in global economy with the present day technology, can conduct business anywhere....and with Husseins punitive taxes, it won't be here. Part of our strength as a nation has been the opportunity afforded everyone, with distibution of wealth, once you reach a certain point in the economic structure, punishment commences in the form of increased taxes. Hussein is a socialist, he just doesn't have the balls to admit it to the american people. Ben, Hussein said it…Joe just asked him a question and Hussein didn’t know a mike was on.

Wasn't it Joe the Plumber that told McCain that Obama said "spread the wealth around?" Has Obama actually said that or is it just McCain quoting a plumber?
