When it comes to money and the economy, who do you want running the country: Someone who knows how to make money or someone who knows only how to “redistribute” money others have earned?[/quote]
Here’s the actual quote from Obama circa 1998:
“I think there have to be technical issues that have to be dealt with as opposed to just political issues, how do we structure government systems that pool resources and hence facilitate some redistribution, because I actually believe in redistribution, at least at a certain level to make sure that everybody’s got a shot. How do we pool resources at the same time as we decentralize delivery systems in ways that both foster competition, can work in the marketplace, and can foster innovation at the local level and can be tailored to particular communities.”
The guy wasn’t even talking about redistribution of wealth. but instead how to remanage government resources and redistribute via decentralized delivery systems.
This one is almost as bad as the “you didn’t built it” misquote.
This is getting really sad when the campaign is purely built on truncated opposition quotes.
