   Sometimes I wonder if Jesus would have supported the concept of National Health care, Social Security, Medicare, Unemployment, and food stamps for the less fortunate.
   To a certain extent both parties believe in redistriubting wealth whether it be raising taxes on the "rich" or creating "loop holes" and providing "corporate welfare/subsides".
   Neither Democrat or Republican can lay claim to standing on "higher ground". Ultimately when you get right down to it only (congress) can enact and pass laws. A president may have an agenda but he or she does not write legislation nor can they get it passed unless the votes are in congress. This also explains why it matters very little if a candidate is "pro-life" or "pro-choice" the laws on these types of issues generally do not change regardless who is in office. We've also learned recently that having a "conservative" Supreme Court does not mean they will always vote conservative.
   Obama would have never been elected president if the country had a booming economy in 2008!
   Personally I think we need to refuse to get caught up in the hype of who is president. Both men are multi-millionaire elitist. Our best is to learn how to take care of ourselves and play the cards we are dealt regardless of who is elected to the figure head position.

      I don't think that Jesus would have supported those handouts for the lazy and slovenly. Give a man a fish and he eats for a day - but teach a man to fish and he eats for a life time. Both sides have made mistakes but Obama is forever changing the USA

   It just confirms what we have known since he began his first run for President. All I can conclude is his supporters either agreee with the belief, don't care as long as they get a shore of what someone else has worked for, or they turn a blind eye to it.

   It is actually worse than just this. The Occupy Movement loves this video however, perhaps they should read the President's book. He is not only for redistribution on a national scale, but on a global scale. Making the entire US part of the 1%.

   Typical socialist president!   Obama stated this when he was still a Senator in Illinois in 1998,   He intends to carry this out.    Even though he is wealthy himself, he seems to want to punish those who are successful and affluent.   President Obama seems to have an ethos against the successful.   Remember, his speech that if a person is successful, he/she did not do it at all!         
   
   President Obama wants to reward those who are less successful by giving them handouts.    He stated in his 1998 speech at Loyola University that when income is redistributed, everyone gets a break.     In other words, he believes that those who are lazy and/or choose not to be successful should live well like that person who works hard/smart for a living!

      Agreed. The problem is that when you give handouts to those who did not earn for themselves,  you destroy any incentive to go out and achieve.  Instead of spreading wealth you are spreading poverty.

      The creation of "The Great Society" has been a disaster.  I suspect it was designed to "keep people in their place" rather than help lift people out of poverty.  It has proven to be an abject failure.

   Yes,  Obama believes in redistribution.  So what?   Why are people acting shocked and upset?   Every President and administration has redistributed income through taxes and various government programs for at least the last 100 years!  Were ALL those presidents and politicians socialists?   Are you upset that Farmers get paid "Not to Farm"  and oil companies get subsidies from Congress with our tax dollars?   Why not? That is also "redistribution."

    I don't agree with redistribution in everything. Those who work hard, shall keep their share more or less. But we all should work as a team to get a proper Health Care somehow. Why shall those who are unfortunate and not be rich, die and suffer from their health and the rich can just go and see a doctor, go to the hospital and be cured. Health should not be depending on your wealth. Do you know if you will get into a car accident tomorrow? Can you plan for it? So, how do you pay for the hospital? Is it your fault that your child gets cancer and then you cannot pay for it? Does that sound fair?
    Yet, I am not sure about this Health Care Plan that is going to hit us soon....but I know something needs to happen.
