We hear it everyday from the likes of Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, and Stanley Kurtz: Barack Obama wants to redistribute your wealth by taking your hard earned money and spreading it around to others. On ABC with Diane Sawyer, Joe the Plumber said Barack Obama maintains a Socialist view.

But Riddle Me This, Batman:

If "less taxes on the middle class/more taxes for the rich" qualifies as income redistribution, then how is "less taxes on the rich/more taxes for the middle class" any different??

Let me get this straight - since income is already redistributed in a way that favors the rich, then that makes it okay, and for McCain to alter the tax policy that favors the rich even MORE is still okay, but to flip the script and have the middle class get the better tax break is Socialism???

It is this kind of stupid logic that will ultimately cost the Republicans the Presidency.

John McCain could have been a real "maverick" and told his party that he opposes the Bush Tax Cuts just like he originally did. He could have told his base that while he is not a true conservative, a balanced the budget is the only way to get to have a chance at establishing such conservative values, and getting rid of those enormous tax breaks to the rich is a good start, especially when the middle class are struggling
