You're just not willing to acknowledge how much income and wealth government redistributes upward.
Government should not redistribute wealth upward or downward. None at all. Zero!

Dems support lots of anti choice issues. They want to tell us what we can eat, smoke and drink. They want to tell businesses how much money they can make, what prices they can charge, when they can open their businesses and what products they can sell.

How do Dems want to tell businesses how much money they can make or anything else you've mentioned?

Dems support initiatives that increase people's choices in their lives.

Petition to Redistribute GPA Scores - YouTube


Redistribution of Wealth:

Take half of your paycheck this week and next and next and offer it to others .... see who will take it. You are simply helping them out...see who will be first in line next week...and the next and the next..... the same people, the line for your money will be longer, the next person in line for 'your' money after you run out, will get pissed because he didn't get any...

You may think "he has more money than me; yes Redistribution of Wealth is a wonderful thing", but there is someone that has less money than you. He is saying the same thing about you; "yes he has more than me; give some of his to me". And so on, and so on, and so on.....

Anyone that agrees with this needs to read "The Communist Manifesto".

You must have skipped through the beginning of the video. Watch the beginning of the video and pay attention to what the various politicians say.

What's a "connie"? Is that supposed to be "conservative"? Ooooh, what a slam. Fact is, I pointed out your error, get over it.

You really don't understand the nature of the party which you are supporting.

I can't find the rolling on the floor laughing icon - but suffice it to say that your post is the funniest thing I have read all week.

I understand the liberal party quite well thankyouverymuch. Just because you don't agree with it, doesn't mean I don't get it.

This idea of redistributing the GPA actually came from a man named, Rob, (now deceased), on his blog:

Gut Rumbles

many, many years ago. I wish that those who use this idea to get their point across would give this man his due credit.
