Liberals really have a hard time understanding the definition of basic words.

Lately, Obama’s campaign has been trying to equate his statement about spreading the wealth with Sarah Patin’s Alaska oil plan. I heard the same line from Alan Colmes at least a week ago…maybe longer.

What is the difference? One is spreading the income wealth and one is sharing the wealth from a state owned natural resource..

Oil in the ground on government owned land does not belong to anyone. The government often takes a cut from the oil companies when they drill. Usually, the government uses that money on government programs. Typical politicians use that money as hand outs to win favor with certain constituents. What Sarah Palin did is share that revenue with all the people of Alaska. She didn’t hand it out to those making below a certain level. She didn’t spend it on someone’s pet project. It wasn’t about redistribution…it was distribution.

Barack Obama wants to take income that someone else has earned and redistribute it.

There is a HUGE difference. Redistribution is not sharing. It is stealing and pandering.
