this really intices me to become unemployed and suck up your tax dollars to fund my house while working "under the table". Marxism is similar, and any form of it has been shown to be utter failure. Look at Canada's and Britain's healthcare. Hell Britain made a law that you had to see someone within 4 hours of a patient coming in to ER. Thats how bad its gotten.
How do you propose we fund infrastructure for energy independence? Even the drill here drill now movement requires funding. We spend more in military than social programs, so if you really want to complain about where your tax dollars are going go protest outside of the pentagon.

This notion that the rich are handing their money over to the poor is absolute BS, to get this country headed in the right direction it takes responsible fiscal action but it also requires FUNDING.

Those who are lazy will be so under McCain's plan and they will be so under Obama's plan.. neither of them have the power to motivate people to get off their ass.. that is not the presidents job. TRUE income redistribution would be the government coming into your home, taking everything you own and dividing it up amongst society.. nothing Obama has proposed even comes close to that.
