"Spread the Wealth Around"

That's what Obama wants to do--he told Joe the Plumber so last week. And this country does not seem to care. Just tax the wealthy and give it to the poor. Doesn't anyone see what's wrong with this? Why not just take the property of the wealthy and give it to the poor (sarcasm). Why not just force people who have homes to take in the homeless (sarcasm).

Seriously, I do not mind progressive taxation--but taxation should be used to raise revenue for the government, not redistribution for social purposes. The problem with collecting more taxes is that it kills jobs and makes government more corrupt because it allows government to dispense money to favored constituencies. It is time to call Obama's plan what it is--socialism or communism.
