irateplatypus:
have you ever heard of the Earned Income Tax Credit? It's a government subsidy that basically gives money to working Americans who make less than the poverty level. In other words, it's free money, presumably taken from the wealthy (or anyone above the poverty level) and "redistributed" to the poor.
it just so happens that this program was introduced and implemented by the demi-god of fiscal conservatives, one President Ronald Reagan.
now how is that different than what Obama's basic ideas are?
