Obama is promising to reunite the country back to the way it used to be, before the us and them became the standard Neocon Republican philosophy.
I've heard this story. What surprises me is that no one in the media asks Obama to point to the exact year that Obama sees as American golden time. And sure as hell, you don't seem to ponder this either. And it is an obvious question...
Obama wants to change the prevailing system of the poor and middle class supporting the wealthiest in the country and make the wealthiest 1% start paying their share instead of continuing the free ride plus bonuses that they have had for the past eight years.
Poor pay no taxes in this country. In fact, poor live off the government handouts. The welfare payments in this nation rival our military spending. The evil 1% pay most of our federal income taxes. So all in all, it's strange that you claim that poor support the wealthy. In what way does a person on welfare support the rich? Can you explain?
Income redistribution that John McCain makes such a big deal about is nothing more than a clear answer to describing what taxes do, whether it is redistributing money from the middle class, or the wealthy and middle class to the government or from the wealthy to the middle class.
Now, you want the middle class to live of the government handouts? Anyway, wealth distribution by the state is not a clear answer - because it does not explain who and why should support whom. What is the moral basis for distribution of wealth at gun point? What exactly are you trying to achieve?
