After Mitt Romney bared his soul about the 47% of Americans
who are career moochers, I was glad to see that CNN and everyone else except
Fox News and Rush Limbaugh took time to tell him what “redistribution”
means. As Mitt seems to see it,
President Obama has his minions taking envelopes of cash from “makers” and
dropping them off at the 47% of households which prefer to live on the
government dole. What is actually happening
is that the cash “taken” from federal tax payers is used for programs like
unemployment insurance and retraining, research and education, and maintenance
of infrastructure as well as pensions for retirees, Medicare and Medicaid, and a safety net for those truly unable to care
for themselves. In other words,
redistribution helps maintain the viable workforce and infrastructure which is
essential to support a viable economy and the investors who profit from it.
