Ok, now that you said that I know who you're talking about but it wasn't Palin. It was a lady politician from Florida on Hardball.

As for the whole "redistributing the wealth" deal, you should look up and see what the difference is between Obama's tax plan and Clinton's was. And when you see how similar they are you should ask yourself why at this point they're using terms with Obama like 'socialist' and 'redistributing the wealth' but they didn't use it with Clinton.
Maybe its because it was working back then, or maybe its because 'redistributing the wealth' implies something else. I'll let you think about that one.

Obama's tax plan more severely punishes business than Clinton's did, but thats beside the point. As President, Obama doesn't make laws, he can only sign them or veto them. Saying that, your statement assumes two things:
1) I think Obama's tax plan is legitimate policy, and I don't based on his past actions, not his current rhetoric. Plus, even his current rhetoric gives those that don't pay taxes "tax credits", or a free money collected from other taxpayers, which is literally redistribution of wealth and a socialist philosophy. There is no arguiment in this. Clinton NEVER did this, so he never redistributed wealth. There is a difference between progressive tax systems and literally taking mone from one person and giving it to another, which is what Obama proposes.
2) That even if Obama is honest in his policy statements, Obama will veto the spending and tax bills that the Pelosi and Reed led congress will throw his way. Obama wants to raise spending $1 trillion... the democrat bill that was put in front of Bush and was vetoed was $3 trillion. Remember that Clinton worked with a Republican led congress during his tenure and helped pass many of their bills. There will be no such checks and balances this time around, especially if the dems get a 60 vote majority and the filibuster is eliminated.
