...if we elect Obama.

Yes, we do need some redistributing of wealth in the USA. John McCain says we don't. And Barack Obama says we do. That's a big difference between the two candidates for president. For too long, we've allowed the rich to get richer. And the poor to get poorer. We've more or less thinned out the middle class. Drifting either closer to rich or closer to poor. A widening gap between the rich and the poor. Rather than aiming for a happy medium. McCain says we don't have to redistribute the wealth. That the answer is to grow our economy and create more jobs. Yes, that's part of the answer. But it's not enough. We need higher taxes on the rich. And lower taxes on the poor and middle classes. The McCain-Bush approach hasn't worked. Look at what has happened in the past 8 years. Our economy has gone into the tank. And the gap between the rich and the poor has never been wider. We are becoming a nation of haves and have-nots. It ain't right. We need to focus on the common good. Not just on the good of the rich and the power elite. We need to redistribute the wealth. Really, there's no need to make the rich richer. They're already rich enough. But we sure as heck don't want to make the poor poorer. That's downright wrong. It's immoral. It's obscene. We need a new set of economic and political and social principles in America. We need to shake up the system. And we'll move more in that direction next Tuesday if we elect Obama. --Jim Broede
