Reply #8: Apparently "redistribution" is acceptable only if [View All]

the money is redistributed from the poor to the rich. What's interesting is that Wanker actually admitted that this is what they're doing. Most of them tapdance around this point by blathering about "protecting the taxpayers" or some such.

But this gets to the real crux of the teabagger/GOPer philosophy, which is that it's wrong for the government to use the tax system to "steal" from people who have more to give it to those who have less. You're on your own in GOPer world; if you have less, well, it sucks to be you because nobody is going to help you.
