It sounds to me like you have the democratic Robin Hood complex, rob from the rich to give to the poor. The only problem is the way the dems have been doing it the poor stay poor, the dems use them to stay in power and the cycle never ends.
But then, I'm not a bliblical scholar either.
right... i'm sure is the democrats keeping the poor down. if we cut all social programs the poor would dissapear right? its a vast liberal conspiracy. oh yea, and the poor are stupid. and underpaid teachers? oh come on, the free market wouldn't give em anymore anyways screw em. thou shalt not covet eh? medicare for old people? screw em. bah screw everyone is the bitter republicans view. the rich deserve what they have and so do the poor. we should all rely on the generosity of the rich to support the poor, like thats ever worked.
and whos robbing who? do rich people have money trees? or do they rely on the working poor. do you judge a society by how it treats its rich? or its poor.
oh and right, i'm sure more biblical scholars would say jesus loved the rich
😛
the fact is this, since the 50s the gap between the rich and the poor has continued to grow year by year. before this quite the opposite was happening. funny that in the 50's the rich paid far more taxes too, their taxes have decreased year by year
😛 go figure.
as for redistributing wealth, i've never seen a republican turn down pork. lets see republicans go against welfare, increasing teacher pay, medicare, homeless shelters, school lunch programs, any and all redistribution of wealth which would go against pure capitalism. why aren't they npushing for a preset tax system where everyone just pays say..1000 dollars, that would make it fair!
most republicans pretend to be pure capitalists.. but they are too cowardly to actually do anything about it.
