I have tried off and on for two hours to link to the abc blog that has the complete video and the transcript of Obama's chat with Joe. The page is linked to by like a zillion blogs but I cannot get it to load, it totally overwhelms my browsers (Firefox and Safari) and I have to force quit. So totally aggravating. Every damn blogger in this country can get to that page, but not me.
Had I been able to link to it, I could have shown you how Obama is not talking about "redistribution of wealth". His point was that people like the accursed Joe the Plumber, if allowed to start businesses without a heavy tax penalty, will be in a position to share in the American dream blah blah blah and that people who make the sort of money that he (Obama) does should be glad to pay more taxes and allow people like not-him-again Joe the Plumber to pay a smaller portion which creates jobs which means more people earn money which in turn Obama would tax less than the rich folks' money. And that's what spreading the wealth around is.
