Redistribution of Wealth
As soon as George Bush and the Republicans took office in 2001, they passed new income tax and estate laws which resulted in a massive redistribution of wealth to the top 2% of Americans, who generally travel on the Right side of the Ship of State. This gigantic shift of wealth to the Right side of the boat created such a monumental imbalance that it nearly caused the entire Ship of State to capsize. Indeed, this week's revised economic reports state that, during the 4th Quarter of 2008 (George Bush's final three months in office), the American economy was in virtual free-fall. Today, President Obama's challenge is to redistribute America's wealth and spread its weight more evenly all around the boat so the Ship of State can resume sailing smoothly and calmly in a forward direction. The GOP crew, having been displaced by the voters, has now manned battle stations in the guise of pirates and buccaneers. The sole remaining mission of this new breed of privateers is to sink the Ship of State and send the USS Titanic, and its 300 million passengers, hurtling down beneath the billowy waters into the oblivion of Davey Jones' Locker. "Heave-Ho, Me Hearties" -- the new watchword of America's Pirates of the Right led by Long John Limbaugh. To be clear, Obama is not engaging in a Redistribution of Wealth. He is Reversing the Redistribution of Wealth engineered over the past 8 years by Bush and his confederates which nearly sank the American ship.

Conservatives are not and have not destroyed this country. No, quite to the contrary, it's Liberals that have turned this country into a have/have-not nation by their incessant belief that "all must be equal". We are all equal in the eyes of the law. However, we are not all equal in our abilities and desires to achieve. Those who cannot/will not achieve, believe that Government must care for them. Those who can and do achieve know that they took advantage of the OPPORTUNITY to achieve.
Liberals are the Hoover Vacuums of this country! They suck the life blood of those who produce, in expectation that they too can have what the producers have IF THE GOVERNMENT GIVES IT TO THEM! It's called Socialism/Communism my friends, and Conservatives will fight anyone and everyone who tries to pull this country into it!
Wealth DOES NOT NEED TO BE REDISTRIBUTED! It needs to be C R E A T E D by those who are willing to take the financial, emotional and personal risks. That's what CAPITALISM is all about....RISK! When you are willing to take the risks in creating a company, an idea, a service, etc., you reap the profit rewards. If a company is CREATED because of your idea, then those who work for you earn pay commensurate with their efforts PRODUCING for YOUR company! It's that simple! The CREATOR/INVENTOR receives the "lion's share" of the profits because he/she/they have the most to lose.
Get this concept into your heads Liberals and you'll be a lot happier!
Then stop calling yourselves Christians you peverted conservatists!!!!
