Redistribution?
OMG! We have a new buzzword for the 2012 election!
Poor old Mitt has had a horrible couple of weeks since the GOP convention. First he got overshadowed by Clint and his “easy chair” then he (Mitt) had to jump the gun on the deaths in Libya and then he made his unfortunate comment about us people who are in the 47%….those who try to exist below the poverty line………in an attempt to change the media’s conversation he made a speech using 100% so many times it became a drinking game….and now he is trying another tact by using the code word…..REDISTRIBUTION………..
But what does redistribution mean?
If you look up the word, redistribution, the definition will read “the act of redistributing”….then look up the word redistributing and you will get “redistribution”……does that clear it up for you? Thought not! We could use it to refer to some sort of socialism (which I believe was Mitt5’s intention)….then we would be speaking of reallocating the assets of government to help all society….in other words, redistributing wealth….this is what the code was intended by Mitt….and he uses it often in the last day or so…..and if he says it enough then maybe, just maybe, he can repair the damage of his statement about us low lifes that are moochers (sarcasm, in case you missed it)……..
But if we are honest we will realize that anytime government spends its revenue then it is a form of redistribution….but somehow I do not believe that Mitt intends it in that context. But in Mitt’s thinking anyone that has to use public spending to keep from starvation is somehow a parasite on society……Mitt is trying hard to dispel that illusion, the statement that is more probably how he really thinks…that anyone who needs government help is lazy or a mooch or a parasite or……..on and on.
It is a bit humorous that all the benefits that the wealthy gets….all the help it gets from government some how is freedom and needed…you know like oil subsidies or bank bailouts or Olympic bailouts (something Mitt does not seem to want to mention) or…well a wealth of programs is also a redistribution….but I am sure that it will not be mentioned while bad mouthing “Those People”, a group that Mitt mentions often.
Side note: Has anyone else noticed that Mitt, when waiting for applause to subside, gets a facial expression similar to the ones Mussolini use to get? Just not as exaggerated as those of “Il Dulce”. Check it out!
