[quote=TheManWithAUsername][quote=Anonymous]Think of it as wealth redistribution.  You are for making things more fair, right?

All of those folks in flyover country will get keep some more of that wealth that they produced, you know, maybe go out dinner, buy some clothes for their kids and pay off their mortgages...[/quote]
So less government spending will cause them to suddenly be employed? What's the mechanism for that?

[quote=Anonymous][i][b]Unemployment in the suburbs of DC is 4% while in the rest of the country it is over 9%. The three wealthiest counties in the US are the City of Falls Church, Loudoun and Fairfax.[/b][/i][/quote]
I share your interest in fairer distribution - which interest is shared by over 90% of Republicans, when no one is distracting them by shouting about how the U.S. is #1. I would favor taking a small fraction of the wealth of the uberrich and getting it to the poor in the form of jobs.

Of course, I can't deny that your plan to take jobs from those who have them is another way to level the unemployment field.[/quote]
