I do not believe in the whole "redistribution of wealth". That is Socialism. Capitalism is a good system as is Socialism….if done correctly. Remember, England is a democratic society with a socialistic economy….

Back to the original question…the answer is NO. Greed is what got that nation here. Even now, they are justifying paying them selves hefty bonuses after accepting federal funds. If any of you are not angry at that then I worry for you. I fear for our future because Washington is filled with lobbyists and special interests groups. They outnumber the politicians 2:1. That is ridiculous. There are more lobbyists than politicians. When the media tells you they spend billions lobbying, what does that mean to you. Where is that going? They aren’t say that. It doesn’t take rocket science. I saw a stat that showed AIG paying 400 million in bonuses to a total of 100 people. The average is 1 million per person. Now, let us use common sense. Nothing is spread out so a large chunk went to the top. None of this is difficult to understand. The economy we are in is a result in corporate America doing all it could to earn the mighty dollar…which isn’t so mighty right now. Both sides and both parties have caused this. We don’t need Free Trade, we need Fair Trade. Remember, nothing in life is free. That trade costs someone and that someone is the American middle class. We lost jobs! Profits soared but not jobs. Our manufacturing is steadily declining. I remember when you could by an American TV and I am in my 30’s. Now, its just Japan running the show. That’s was just the beginning. We don’t make the clothes we wear anymore. I worry about tomorrow with the piss poor leadership that exists in America.

CEOs will start spreading the wealth when our laws stop protecting them, and the people take redistribution of wealth into their own hands. A polite request by Mr. Obama will not solve the problem of greed.

You mean all of those new jobs that were created between 2002 and 2007?

The owner of my company ’spread the wealth’ during this time period by:
Increasing the number of employees from 110 to over 250.
Investing just about all of the company’s profits into new production equipment and machines.

The reason he did this? Because he stood to make more money by re-investing the profits in the company because of the preferential tax rate on capital gains vs. income tax.

Right now, times are tough at the company and the owner is doing everything he can to avoid layoffs. I don’t know how long he can continue to do this though.

They won’t. (of course m1a1 has a good point………they don’t have to "spread the wealth" by giving it away, they can just hire more people)

MY BEEF WITH OBAMA INCLUDES:

He nominated 2 tax cheats to serve in his administration:

He SAID he would ban all lobbyists (then waived the rules when it mattered):

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0109/18128.html

He then SAID George W. Bush was wrong for throwing money at the banks (but now wants to do it ON A LARGER SCALE):

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/26/business/economy/26banks.html

He also said he would veto any bill with pork in it (the solution: SECRET PORK!!):

(Also, Obama endorsed Blagojevich in 2002 and 2006, Blago endorsed him right back)

When we do it for them. Preferably just after we have strung them up from a lamp post or other handy street furniture. Viva Robin Hood!

Yay, let’s take away money from other people since we can’t be successful on our own! CEO pay can be way higher than it should, but who’s fault is that? If you don’t like what they get paid, don’t buy their products. Start your own company and don’t give your CEO a big salary, then you can put the over paid CEO companies out of business with your lower costs. Just quit your job, and ask Obama for a pay raise for doing nothing. He likes that kind of thing.

They do spread the wealth. They create jobs, make products we want and put money in the bank, that banks use to give out loans so you can buy a house or car

You can bring them to the bank. They may require that they be rolled. You can also just use them every time you are spending money.
