Yep, that's right folks. When people in the financial district are telling you that the only way to solve the problem is to reduce spending, Joe Biden is telling people that to pay more money to give it to poorer people is "patriotic".
Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden said Thursday that paying more in taxes is the patriotic thing to do for wealthier Americans. In a new TV ad that repeats widely debunked claims about the Democratic tax plan, the Republican campaign calls Obama's tax increases "painful."
Under the economic plan proposed by Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, people earning more than $250,000 a year would pay more in taxes while those earning less — the vast majority of American taxpayers — would receive a tax cut.
Although Republican John McCain claims that Obama would raise taxes, the independent Tax Policy Center and other groups conclude that four out of five U.S. households would receive tax cuts under Obama's proposals.
"We want to take money and put it back in the pocket of middle-class people," Biden said in an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America."
Noting that wealthier Americans would indeed pay more, Biden 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."
How is redistributing wealth going to "get America out of the rut"? Simple, it isn't. It's an effort to get votes. It has NOTHING to do with getting out of a financial pinch. Democrats lately reek of desperation. You want to "help get America out of the rut", then you cut spending.
Taxing wealthy people to give to the poorer isn't going to do jack, and if you believe that, you're an idiot.
