So Palin is pro hording the wealth. What a shock.
"We've really got to hand it to Joe (The Toledo-area man, who doesn't have a plumber's license and owes the state back taxes,and would receive a tax cut under the plan offered by Obama)," Palin said. "Somehow he got Barack Obama to finally state his intentions in plain language — Sen. Obama said he wants to spread the wealth and he wants government to take your money and decide how to best redistribute it."

So Palin is what? Pro hording of wealth? Isn't that what we've been trying for the last 8 years but they're not 4 more years of Bush? I guess to be generous Palin could be for spreading the wealth but believes magic leprechauns randomly distributing it at the base of rainbows is the way to go. Afterall Government is full of people that abuse their power... like Sarah Palin.

1. Code words for "The Dems are Socialists"
It's this year's version of "Terra, Terra, Terra"

4. Socialists? Well, we can't be having that.
Imagine if Obama nationalized the banks! Horrors.

2. The problem with their argument is most Americans who aren't rich are saying why not spread it?

5. They respond that they are spreading it
through the magic of trickle down economics. Slowly more and more Americans have begun to understand it doesn't trickle down, it doesn't create jobs, it doesn't create health care and it is the worse form of class warfare.

6. Actually, they aren't
They're saying they don't want their hard earned paycheck given to those "blankety blanks". We've got to turn this one around on them by pointing out corporate welfare and taxing health care benefits and the like.

Could you send some of those leprechauns
down here to fix and patch the main road to town? I'd like to see some asphalt "spread" Sarah. She's a typical "conservative," who would be easy to laugh at except for the danger factor.

3. Cheap Labor Conservatives
Hoard the wealth by screwing workers out of an honest days pay for an honest days work.

7. Here is the thing
Republicans have always been for small government, and deregulation. Supposedly, this was going to somehow get wealthy corporations to offer more jobs, now that they would be unencumbered by restrictive regulations and regressive tax codes. The thought was that this would somehow create jobs, which in turn would make up for the tax loss from reduced taxes of corporations, to increased personal taxes of the workers......in essence......spreading the debt load to the worker.

Two problems with this scenario....the wealthy corporations never did create jobs. Instead, they outsourced them. And the trickle down - didn't.
