Redistributing Wealth

And here.

Yes so it's. Here don't go away. Okay okay -- here here. Because -- races and broke his right technology. Jean Schmidt he can't get better. And whatever suitable back.

Do it star import so much he MTV. I received the since -- soon elected office. Not only because of my position. But also because on -- that's going to run on a platform -- repealed in the over America and my data. American people are gonna put the insurance industry back of the drivers that. Dogs are emerged triumphant in Manhattan Borough broadcasting from a -- world headquarters building picks column I am told all of it on Boston's Officer Jim Graham should take. W order your own all of the cynics all the naysayers. -- The reality of what this reform is and what it is. For another edition though.

Very best of the world wide web.

Audio story you won't hear from a mainstream. --

Our first web gem is is Karl Rove talking about the choice of Dick Cheney as vice president this what's kind of interest in check it out. Against that choice they have a mystery guest in the room telling the story. Well actually it wasn't he was -- he was he was set on Cheney for vice president. And I thought it was a bad idea and at this point they're only about six people who know these -- to the -- that he's about ready to do this. And so he calls me up and Cisco makes the case against Cheney were sitting in the Austin library in the Texas Governor's Mansion. For for about thirty or 35 minutes I lay out two reasons and why he should pick Dick Cheney was about a reason started was we didn't need to worry about. You know there while mystery electoral votes.

All right. Karl Rove was against Dick Cheney as vice president that's -- inside stuff you'd like to get now I'd like to know who he was pushing for vice president is that you know you're talking about history. And it was a from a electoral basis it was kind of a word choice. Cut number two is you may have heard some of this by now. The wonderful fan voicemail that congressman Jean Schmidt received she received she's Ohio congressman. And as she received this call she's a Republican just so you know that this kind of tension created by Barack Obama pushing. A bill that America hates into law it creates an environment in which the wackos come out on both sides --

The president stairs hit enter here. It's most gracious and ultimately technologies. -- You. Can train her mother and Mitch McConnell. Are you racist and Republicans -- Kurdish changeup or you -- races. I don't -- He noted that spit on me -- shut cinema and mark and a millimeter. Are you racist mobile.

That is a caller from the party of compassion. To the party of racism the Republicans he thinks it is I don't think the Republicans can use that title because it's already trademarked by the Democrats. Are cut number three and trade today is web jams is Ed Chelsea is a liberal talk -- he's also on MSNBC which means you've never heard of them. And the only thing the promotes about all we like to talk about what he says for summary -- here's one of the things he just set about talk radio.

So maybe I'll get on 600 stations there were many you own or whatever. The fact is look it's not a level playing field when it comes to the audio cultural country ownership has its privileges. Would you all right I'll be honest advice don't 500 stations the drug sure wouldn't be on any album. And and that's just where it's -- right now but maybe we have reached a point where the congress needs to. Equal amount. Equal -- the audience just keep in mind there aren't any poor people -- microphones. And so I think pintek. You know. Tell if we're gonna be social most of speech social sold across the board.

This is a wonderful moment did did that -- liberals are now embracing. The label of socialism. He had happened earlier in the week who Al Sharpton Ed Schultz are making the argument for why the government should intervene. End to end to limit the ability of talk radio to be conservative talk radio. And what liberals seem unaware of is that they control the newspapers in the country they have big government supported. Radio and television network. And they control the major networks in this country and they have MSNBC and CNN and there are irate because. There's conservative talk radio. And there's Fox News which are rational. Thereof there and the French controlling everything and then you have this little bit of the media. That's so offering mainstream opinion and they can't deal with that because the free exchange of ideas is some an environment in which they don't do very well. Our our last cut from today's web jams as Max Baucus EZ US senator. And he is a Democrat and he's talking about what Democrats truly believe again. Always a surprising thing because nobody else agrees with them.

Prisoners is also pay an income shift. It's a shift. To leveling. To help. -- and come overcome Americans. Too often to vote. A bunch of late the last couple three years. That now distribution of income -- is gone up. Wait too much wealthier than where you wait too wealthy. And don't compress is left behind which is not kept up with that in Greece incumbent I -- Americans. This legislation will have effect that a drastic that -- distribution of income in America because health care is now but right.

Health care is about redistribution. Of wealth and the support Democrats believe this is one of the reasons they pushed it so heavily. Is because one they're socialists and they believe in redistribution of wealth is they don't believe. That you should have a vibrant economy in which the wealthy keep this much is of their money as possible because that's the most productive thing that can happen of that money. The the best thing you can do is -- wealthy people more money. Because they got wealthy because they know how to win fast and they know how to create wealth that creates jobs. -- that's one philosophy that's our philosophy I think. And they're Fossett he is the opposite. Which is you take everything away from the productive so you can give it to the lower classes and make things fair now. One of the difficult thing that's what I wanna talk about this whole would that last piece of tape. Max Baucus. Saying that this is about the redistribution of wealth to some extent. Redistribution of wealth is unavoidable as -- not. In in in the modern world if we were regular -- fresh I would say you make a flat. Tax policy that is you divide up the cost of running the government you send every adult their bill. Bang you -- you don't ever have to worry again about out of control government. That's fair taxation. We have or multiples away from that the next least -- thing as I said earlier would be to have a flat. Percentage rate that you pay. And the most abusive system is one where you escalate the percentage. As people make more money. So how do you feel about this redistribution. How do you feel about what Max Baucus just said. That this is about the -- distribution of income in America. The Democrats are socialists that's not a dirty word they're being called it's just a fact of their philosophy. They don't believe in capitalism. And they don't believe in the premise. Of the US constitution. That man is best served in the most successful society one can get. Columns way and you unleash people to go out into the world and make their way and earned their just rewards. Democrats are miss trust for that they trust government. More than they do. Capitalism. And -- I'm not saying that in any way to be slanderous that's what they believe. I'm trying to say it is accurately as I can. I disagree with them and I think they're wrong constitutional and it either play about the country's wearing a little like that if you want to. Ours is designed differently would they are doing and they've succeeded in doing ever since FDR. Is to essentially ignore the constitution and destroy the premise that our founders built country -- and that provided the world with the most vibrant. Economic engine in the history of mankind with the most successful. Economy in the history of mankind. They see economic growth. And they say how do we suck the blood out of and that's what. That cut from Max Baucus is all about 617 well played again a couple minutes 61726668. Succeed. Dave is on WRQ -- did.

Yeah I don't see anything wrong would -- Max Baucus. The status yeah well where would it be. Would it your way of thinking -- the last eight years that's why we're in the big -- Do you want that a rhetorical is limited because. Be a so called wealthy you know the -- he knows the no bad man. And I get the well field Wall Street date they knew that I do. So -- not spyware -- in his big ditch that. That way now ironically the Max Baucus this -- you know the deal wealthy. Trickled down to the middle class -- the are poor -- he was talking about that it is their right to have. Health care particularly into well you know he wanted to take all the money you know you want to be robbing and you want to take all the money.

From Arcadia I think that's what all saying I don't think he said any thing other than that he believes in the redistribution of wealth -- Robin -- that's what he wants to do he said it's the -- Distribution of income in America.

Well if we look at the -- she is the way to the -- that -- getting wealthier and the middle class and the pork we're getting -- horrible little -- you -- what do you think it is going to be the -- I mean with all these facts. Scott well these loopholes. With the Wall Street did and now you may well you know if they think it's okay you know pick. -- well he would -- the -- screw in excluded middle class.

Well those two things have nothing to do with -- each other Dave thank you for laying out the case is you see it because there's usually you're just. Modeling a bunch of different issues together. There's nothing of all war Wall Street that was unpredictable. Wall Street goes in cycles were the regulation falls away in in in the glee of big money you have it the regulation corrupted by the liberal. Vision of giving home loans to people who don't qualify for them and that created a structural problem at I -- integrity of the such a word. And which ultimately. The collided with reality is that had to do.

Prisoners is also pay an income shift. It's -- shift. To leveling. To help. Laura and come overcome Americans. Too often to open. A bunch of late the last couple three years. That now distribution of income -- is gone up. Wait too much wealthier than where you wait too wealthy.

The -- theory anyway to wealthy. You know I don't know what damage is being done by the wealth of the wealthy but. If in fact that's true all you have to do is raise the taxes a little bit on the wealthy so you put it up another pointer to points and you collect the extra money. And it gets used by the federal government to create more federal government. Which not only benefits anybody she one of the problems with this whole discussion is there's no improvement made by having the government take more money. And this health care bill is the utter destruction. Of that which America is this is about over the next justice Social Security Medicare and Medicaid have brought us to our knees financially. And that's the supposedly it justification with this new thing this new thing is gonna be worse -- more damaging warrior NW market Thomas off today hi --

Okay I thought yeah. My question is what were the liberals in congress -- the important thing I'm gonna take a pay cut. So out of street cannot pet health insurance and got. Up and affect them get to enact and in fate you -- their money. Pick any -- that haven't heard them say that they were going to increase their -- and.

No it's for kids yeah also interesting is that they met the threshold for a high of for a for the big tax hit so making over 200 grand a year and limit 175 grand so that's kind of funny too.

Now -- of like 199 will be their next. They -- just -- they'll be right underneath that.

Now will probably be the case thank you large for the call nick your next NW RKO -- neck.

Stage I'll tell you. Not to make a prime but the basis of what that the what was your congressman a senator spell a right. Out based on what he said look at it as did the mandate these problems don't go back just to the Bush Administration. Go back and look at Clinton's administration prisons and look would have what Mexican -- don't wanna get into -- did he kill -- if you -- really understand you have to study you have to look these things up. This has been -- any -- forty something years old understands what's happening. Jobs were taken out of the United States they have not been replaced it continues to happen every -- The whole nature of the so called global economy it's what killed. What's happening here. This year -- measures installed to make sure it didn't go aboard. These -- and I'll say this same thing is that about stupid idea and yeah bill liars they're cowards they do stick -- they know what the oldest senators and congressmen debated me at 20/20 five years. Including the lights Ted Kennedy OK thank -- they know exactly what happened then -- idiots they know exactly.

I think you're right -- and I think this whole argument. Is a phony one because Democrats never want to actually fix the problem they wanna use the problem. As a way to kidnap our philosophy into the socialist realm that they favor and that's what Max Baucus is talking about that he's a socialist. And he believes that people don't have a right to what they -- that it should be given to other people. If you wanted to fix this you would improve the quality of life for those who were -- give them a good education so they can get ahead. They don't get it from the liberals why not brought here on W marquee outside here hi rob.

And got a -- yeah it's. Hey you know I was listening last night and -- that the president talked about how he and I'll let them let them. You know the -- do whatever because it is immediate download like. No matter what anybody does whether the November are the coming years. There -- power and it just it's almost like it's not gonna work whatever you people do because we we what we did on Sunday. It's just sit outside a bank to come and it rarely -- and it it it it pictured in Arabic it really does. And Indiana that I was gonna say what they should do target all the people that voted for this -- may -- they hit -- turns out that make it that this.

I love them what the paper all the stuff and I love believe not all black.

Sorry thank you for the Colorado. Mediating you know he does have a shoving your face mentality because he's a socialist if he wants to. -- been -- very destructive modern presidents who basically didn't believe in the US constitution. The first was FDR who was a socialist the second Lyndon Johnson who is a socialist and now we he wants to add his name and make it a threesome. That's what Barack Obama wants to do he wants to be the guy who finishes the job of doing what FDR started Chris you're on with Todd Tom is off today hi there.

Pay out thought god what we've got on the spent ten but I don't know rich people bridge on eighty without ever contact yes. If not evident big detecting the people -- level -- anybody else that you guitar throughout. Right now me and my -- threats that we get close to get a lot of talk this is what we got so we gonna split so global looked at BitTorrent the -- And it didn't want to --

Well one of that but one of the interest say things about this Chris is that. Well there's an assumption in there in their. We did you know shoot the rich mentality. An argument is that if you make sure honey you might have a great here next year save yourself employed. And you suddenly of a big here and make yourself a couple hundred grand. They wanna make you into a bad guy. You might -- lost money this year.

Exactly it's the campaign would go -- health -- There's been an all out just too expensive if you pick up all the oil just expect whoever took it for Barack Obama Pandit got caught.

No you're right free free health care is something that will prove to be. Entirely on affordable and that only Democrats happy because that will require a new social program 6172666860. It's not it's -- 680 WRKO. --

And I'm. Health cares about the rights to all Americans. And because health there's no portable. For all Americans. -- is also very and then come here. It's a shift. To leveling. With help. From Florida Erika Miller for Americans and too often too. Much of lately the last couple three years. Now distribution and come here's is gone up way too much.

What this is probably can't complete the sentence. Come all three years. As did set a few minutes ago this is it is is Robin Hood what Max Baucus is saying that senator baucus describing. The purpose of the health care legislation it's about the redistribution of wealth. It is Joe The Plumber. All over again in policy. And he added that the the problem is that if you're gonna redistribute wealth of you have to do that if the country were to agree. On some kind every distributor of an adjustment in our society. What this is gonna do is it that redistribute the wealth into the hands of the government. Which is not good at creating economic growth it's good at creating bureaucracy. Which is a drag on our lives on squandering money remember. A third of our health care dollars. Currently are wasted so you wanted to fix this problem you would eliminate the waste and automatically. There would be a rush of new people into the healthcare system. If you wanted to fix poverty in America and the inequity in income. You would provide good schools to support kids. But the liberals who control absolutely education and who control absolutely inner cities won't do -- why because they prefer. Creating big government infrastructure because they are socialists. And they prefer socializing. The country. Having the government. Take over the productivity. This is 17%. Of the US economy. That the government is taking over. That's what they're about to. 6172666860. Craig your NW RQ good morning.

guard Rachel. And listen that Max Baucus talking about bringing up the the -- or people in middle class bringing up what the level of rich people but that's an impossible anyway. Also all the money com -- little a little class a -- if it's able to want to bring up the middle class. Good upper cartel actually no that's not gonna happen because of all the monies from -- Net interest being -- the -- the sort of so called pork. -- I'm driving around eighty -- escalate to a thousand on merit our hope mag wheels. I don't know what we're -- control.

Well dole won't but I think you're focusing on the wrong part of the real issue is that the country is damaged by the fact there in their people who -- left behind. Are we suffer because is great talent in in in. -- neighborhoods of Boston that doesn't get a chance to play in the system. Because they're stuck in the Democrats schools. Democrats leave them ignorant. So you may issue and we can all resent the fact that they create these social programs that give money to people so the poverty allows them to walk around with 200 dollars sneakers. But I am talking on a cell phone. But there -- that's missing --

Parallel government -- given to them. Did you know look how that's another program going I'm.

Absolutely but the real damage it's done is the -- the institutional racism that Democrats pursued day in and day out. By not allowing. Minorities and urban core. To participate in our economy. And do they prefer to bribe them with government money so they get their votes. For some reason I guess because they go to the Democrats schools. Urban America doesn't realize. That it's lives are being ruined by the Democratic Party John good morning you're on WRKO Thomas off today taught here.

Tirade on -- judge that's what they've made a couple comments one you know -- David -- previously based in extremely disingenuous when he says that. You know the middle class is getting nailed the bush years they're among the states in the -- we were doing well and also the middle -- doing well because. Most of most of the little box is taking -- home equity loan then going on trip but all these final result they're out by the skyrocket.

Personal Davis totally sincere he's just not that sophisticated about the issues -- tries dispute talking points and they they once in awhile collide.

Right exactly as he called a lot of which is good and other than Cuba without -- at what they don't understand it that people are not going to purchase health care -- look -- they're gonna say this he has that are -- sort every year which is cheaper than paying a premium -- for a twelve month period. Eric is gonna get help ensure implement when they get -- because now you hit stop anybody looked pretty good to think.

Well they they will raise the penalty to get everybody import they did this in Massachusetts to get a pass the penalty was 200 box I think -- and now it's up around eleven or 12100 dollars. So they make the penalty more expensive to force you win. And there will be some who game the system but -- goal is to get everybody in especially people who don't need. Expensive health insurance like the young because they need their money to pay for those that the older people -- in the system all the time it's just like Social Security.

Exactly and I think -- what they're gonna try to do obviously is. You have. This blanket statement this blanket to -- the cover everyone on the people are just in our way to get around them in that gonna keep going through this and so eventually. You're gonna accept the people that don't really in the -- back in the beginning of the people that think they're making out of a plant and end up -- at the end and.

Thought -- no question cover over or every government program is a ticking time -- every social program is ticking time bomb. There will explode and destroy us don't forget. One of the justifications. Barack Obama provide -- carefully vehicle called a -- list. But what of the justification he offered for needing this big social program is -- being destroyed financially by Medicaid and Medicare. And it's a government that controls already. Have to get health care dollars in this country and it's they that have screwed it up not does believe in the insurance companies. The insurance companies are small players compared to the government. Already. Guess what. Guess what the masses got -- got worse what the government in charge. Taught here NWR jail.

Vermont and NATO on the morning. It's it's amazing to me this country this great republic -- by a couple of principles as you know. And one of those principles morality we can't talk about it anymore. But. What exchange tomato liberals are doing is creating a world of NV -- accompanying them jealous streak. Instead of a world of self reliance which make this place break.

My theory on why they wanted to stamp out religion is not that they didn't want there to be religion. They just want to get real competition and replace it with their own religion so -- tools for example -- we were kids who live release I was I go to school and I'd read all the Bible each morning. Now they are heavy reading out about you know Joey has to mobs there replaced saying the old religious values with the new ones.

And and what that does is that is eroding the tellers so that we will tumble in the socialism unless we all wake up and realize they're. Truly chasing the American dream and truly pursuing happy marriage. And truly being self reliant that's what -- great that's what made the melting pot come together. So homogeneous like.

Absolutely -- what we're doing is abandoning those structures that held us together because they want. These sort of cultural anarchy that leads people believe whatever they're told so for example the Democrats were the most destructive force. In the lives of Black America are supported by 90% of black Americans when it comes time to vote. It's that takes ignorance and the ignorance is delivered to Black America in the schools that are run by the Democrats the conspiracy is so obvious. What does that quote from George Orwell. That -- added that that which is right in front of your noses the hardest thing.

It's something like that may be some real remember. Sammy nets who taught NW RQ -- off today hi.

Regime vivacious thanks for having me on thank you call son called from the glorious social support them. Personal vault edition two main points first of all dirtier coal or. Denigrating me. The American system. Tell everybody that the poor were were soft Google oh yes do look at you won't US department believer that from 2002008. The average hourly nonfarm mobile worker actually was making war on constant. Bowler basis that he wasn't 2002000.

They are you're referring to the caller about about he had that the the globalization resistance that he suggests.

Poor people were doing better in 2000 made in the word 2000 constant dollar based.

Okay so we're all right how about middle class though who used to have these overpaid. Industrialized jobs like he had GM and Chrysler -- who were driven out of business by the high cost of the union wages. It seems to me that. As long as you have unions there creating artificial compensation levels. Then you're gonna ultimately destroy your own industry anyway whether you have free trade agreements are not eventually people are gonna be buying cheaper cars from overseas anyway right.

But local look the bottom line is with a few local. Taxes on the wealthy -- from from new York and California. You end up with them spending more money investing more money and more people working.

You're talking about -- the ability millionaires who moved out of New York City because of the taxes -- exactly everything they do what you extraordinary plan is that turned into a net loss for those municipalities and yeah also California going bankrupt -- back in California is gone back her because say there -- not.

It's there -- insane with every policy they have an invite as many illegals you know 11%. On the budget in the state of California's for prison. You think that doesn't have anything to do with the fact that they refuse to confront illegal immigration. Chris you're on WRKO hey they're --

I thought you know this whole discussion anyone -- talk about Mal distribution of wealth I think and two concepts that certain you're informed about. What is there -- A big pot of money somewhere that someone collecting and then distribute that just. That image is is brought there are a lot of people who pay people are doing things that and that money it's exchange treat people -- that is. That's one thing that really -- a mistake.

You're saying they that the rich spend the money if it's in their pockets and if you take it away from them to give it to the government. Then -- goes into unproductive uses.

Well -- that's true the only one actually distributes money is the government to collects it from people and then distribute it but there's -- second point dot. And that is what we talk about the rich getting richer in the port bidding war we talk about top 1%. And the bottom 5%. People generally don't know all that bad the statistics and if you look at a purse at the people. Just 8% of the people who are now on the top 1%. Next year they won't be there and last year 50% -- word bear and in the bottom 5%. Eighty -- It will be out of that bottom 5% it being treated.

More -- that's a very good is a very important point Chris one I made a few minutes ago I alluded to and that is that. There are these people are not stable in their financial positions so you might make. Twenty grand this year is an entrepreneur next year you might make -- 150 the next year you might lose 30000 dollars and the idea the issue be punished for your good years without rages taxation. Does not recognize that economic reality it's -- it's -- 680 WRKO.

You know what Tony does he keep their crazy running around.
