"From each according to his ability..."

...to each according to his needs.

From the Democrat VP candidate...

In an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America," Biden said wealthier taxpayers would indeed pay more under the proposals of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. Under his plan, people earning more than $250,000 a year would pay more in taxes while those earning less — the vast majority of taxpayers — would receive a tax cut.
"We want to take money and put it back in the pocket of middle-class people," Biden said. Of those who would pay more, he said: "It's time to be patriotic ... time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to help get America out of the rut."


This brings to mind 2 obvious questions...
1- Take from whom?
2- How do you put back that what which was never removed?

What this clown is advocating is unabashed reditribution of wealth, classic marxism. While taxing "the rich" sounds so robinhood, what many americans unfortunately do not understand is the heavy and disproportionate percentage those "rich" already pay.

Raising taxes is not patriotic, it's economically irresponsible.
