Penn & Teller: Bull****! Explain Wealth Redistribution - YouTube

This is a pretty funny illustration of how forced wealth distribution works.

Pretty well explains it. When I go to the store, the food stamp folks are getting fatter and eating all sorts of heavily processed, high fructose corn syrup infused garbage. The folks paying in cash are buying the discount items, whatever is on sale, and fewer groceries. Gotta love it. The leeches appear to be doing better than the working class. The kicker is when their atrocious diet deteriorates their health, the producers will also be required fork over the money to fix them up, so they can continue to get fat of our tax dollars. What a backwards nation we are becoming. Those progressive types should really be called regressives.

The only issue with the video is... No whipped cream. You think the food stamp folks would tolerate a pie without? As long as you're buying they won't.

The Wall street bankers are also required to pay that money back. Which they are doing. The Wall street bankers were also forced to issue mortgages to high risk home buyers simply because the democraps believe in artificial prosperity. Want to do business in America? Bend over!

It's not about better, it's about amount.

I'll pay for food stamps and obamaphones if you pay for the wall street bailout and corporate welfare.

Deal??

I shouldn't have to pay for either.
And Its not about amount its about the act itself , you are trying to apply the same logic a common thief uses to justify his actions.

Oh this rich guy doesn't appreciate this painting, so ill just take it for myself.

Where did you get the idea that I believe corporate welfare is anymore acceptable? It should be apparent that the democraps largely jeopardized the entire mortgage lending industry by DEMANDING them to lend to risky home buyers. All so people who should not own a home can own a home. Today, many, if not most of those people no longer own a home. Some banks were wiped out, while others were made whole again thanks to the tax payers. Had the government kept their nose out of the lending industry's business, things would have worked out much different and more favorably for everyone involved.

The last thing you want to hear is "I am the government and I am here to help". Good things NEVER follow. The free market however is extremely efficient, something that the democrats hate with every ounce of the dark, corrosive blood that courses through their veins.

Personally, I believe the government should get back to the basics. They should not be using tax payers money to lubricate and manipulate the free market. Repair or replace the thousands of crumbling bridges, revamp our K-12 education system, provide safety for the general public, etc. Instead of teaching people to depend on the government, offer opportunities for them to learn marketable skills. Basically, teach a man to fish instead of giving him one.
