I gotta ask Senator McCain:
What exactly is wrong with redistributing the wealth, Senator?

My family, many of my co-workers and most of my friends live nearly paycheck to paycheck. And even though we are what you and Cindy consider 'poor', we're among the first to donate to food drives, clothing drives, charitable organizations ... without hesitation. We don't believe in "preserving the wealth" when one of our fellow citizens is in need. So, Senator, we'd appreciate some of that 'wealth' that most of your contributors and Corporate cronies are protecting in their offshore bank accounts. Not all of it - just some. For the other 98% of us in America.

So please tell me, Sir, why should I be afraid of Senator Obama wanting to "redistribute" wealth?

1. I'm less afraid of redistribution than concentration
which is what has been happening for the past 8 years and that Mc* plans to continue.
