If I were to factor the money I am saving by not spending rent it hits 1.53%, but it's not smart to do that because that's not new income generated that's just redistribution of funds (but it's why I'm ok with this not hitting 1% fully).

We need jobs that actually contribute to the GDP and not just redistribute the wealth.

At worst, what we're going to have to do is take a 6 month break while the electronic money is redistributed back to the federal government.

If you want to redistribute wealth, give it back to the people in CASH!

It's a real redistribution and a tax on all American savers.

This will tax lower income people's income much further than any tax cut or "redistribution of wealth".

As one concerned about the amount of money obama is currently "redistributing", this seems like it will cause the printing presses to run longer at the Mint and more funds neccessary for the social programs required.

The just-passed "healthcare" (wealth redistribution) bill has a new 3.9% Medicare tax on unearned income (rental income, dividends, etc).

Get rid of the man-made global warming hysteria, and panic- and the progressives lose a major pretext for massive government control, taxation, and redistribution.

We have so lost the "United We Stand" American Pride, resolution and flag waiving that characterized our country after 9/11.Obama, more than any president in the history of this country, inclucing those white guys, Abe Lincoln, John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson, has the opportunity to greatly effect and improve race relations in this country, and he is chosing instead to push a redistribution of wealth, tax and spend, and socialist policies.
