Sometimes , in fact almost always , we agree with the majority of what our candidate says . It's impossible to agree with everything any one person says . So , often we vote for a candidate while over-looking small disagreements that don't appear to have an over-whelming effect on us personally .
But Hillary's plan of redistribution of wealth will affect EVERYONE and change the entire course and foundation of our great country .
First , I wonder how many Hillary supporters are even aware or informed of her plan ?
And second , I wonder how many Hillary supporters agree with her plan ?

Kawaii - WHAT ? I never said I'm in the top 1% . Do they teach you that in high school or subversive college ?
BTW , do they still teach intelligent discernment ?

This question was asked assuming the basic knowledge of current events . If you're not knowledgable about current events or politics , then why do you try to answer questions on here ? I asked 'Hillary Supporters' . So you leave us with only one conclusion . Hillary supporters are uninformed . Thank you .

Here are some links for our liberal friends if they pull their heads out of the sand, perhaps they will finally see Hillary for the socialist that she IS!

And my favorite Hillary quotes:
"Many of you are well enough off that the tax cuts may have helped you. We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."
"I will TAKE those oil company profits......."
Her tribute to socialism. "It takes a Village"......
Doesn't take a rocket scientist to know what she is talking about......OPEN YOUR EYES!

Redistribution of wealth? You have to be kidding me. The only reason they are wealthy is because they worked their butts off to get that way. And yes, let's just face it, some people are smarter and more ambitious than others. Some are lucky and some are snakes. Whatever, SO LONG AS THE MONEY IS CIRCULATING, THEN AMERICA IS ALIVE AND WELL! Tie it all up in government for "redistribution" and well, that sounds pretty much like a soup and bread line to me!
Sure there are thugs who manipulate the system, but they still keep the ol' mighty dollar circulating within a given year. The more that dollar changes hands the better chance I have (Not being the top 1% of having a few land in my own pocket). Tie our money up in congress so those idiots can try and figure out how to redistribute it and we, the people see less and less of it.
Here's the trick: If I want a bit of that top 1% to land in my pocket, I actually have to earn it, the way the 1% did! ----Oh, I know that some of you don't like that. You want to just sit on your butts, playing your video games and collecting government checks with little to no effort. Go work!
No. I am not of the top 1%, but I still say that they need to leave our (Their) money alone, particularly until those elected and appointed officials can show us that they know how to spend it responsibly.
And so far as the nation's budget: I have always said that the homeschool moms in my community could do a far better job with it than those boobs from Yale and Harvard! At least they care about America and not just themselves and their political reputation.

Hmm I am not sure if you may truly get her plan. She is not trying to take frmo the rich and give to the poor.
Do you think the current method of things should remain, as the rich remain far above the middle class?
As the middle class and the poor are starting to merge into a giant poor class...Is this what you want? Because as I see it that is the current outcome of things.
Yet as some one else said
This is the kind of pointless drivel that will hurt the democratic party, political infighting with creepy little celebrity types involved. The election is 21 months away. Is there any hope of having a true campaign, with meaningful debate of the issues helping an American public base a decision upon facts? Or has politics joined the American Crap Culture?

What gets lost in the shuffle in all this is that if wealth is redistributed, there will be LESS wealth to distribute.
Separating work, investment, risk-taking and innovation from reward lessens the incentive to engage in these activities. The total pie gets smaller.
Some might say this is simplistic, Alex Keaton in "Family Ties" rhetoric. Yet who doesn't want a higher-paying job?
People who get something for nothing are ruining it for themselves in the long run.

I choose. The final time I lived able the place i will have a backyard, I had a good looking flower mattress interior the front of the abode, and a vegetable backyard alongside the ingredient -- I grew my own tomatoes, cucumbers, broccoli, peppers, herbs, garlic, onions, potatoes, canteloupes, spinach....I enjoyed tending that backyard, and that i enjoyed the outcomes. regrettably, this is purely no longer a realistic threat the place i'm residing now. i will placed out some flower pots and herb pots, yet this is all i could desire to do.

Actually, I'd appreciate a link too, since any change in the tax system is going to be labeled a 'redistribution of wealth' it would be nice to see what direction its going to go in.
Changing the course and foundation of our country is a pretty tall order, and right now it seems the foundations of our country as found in its Constitution are in serious danger from Bush and his plan to remove the oversight portion of Congresses job to Gonzales and his approval of dicey interpretations of law. Cheney declaring himself a fourth branch of government, one with executive branch powers, and legislative powers when it suits him, could also be said to challenge fundament tenets of our country.
But of course we are talking about Hillary, not redistribution of wealth to Halliburton and drug companies, or the money that the rich can keep while the middle class can't even afford bankrupty under the new laws enacted by the Republican congress. Would that be another example of redistribution of wealth?
Oh sorry, Hillary.....yes there is that health care thing. Of course right now if you aren't rich or lucky, you have a tough time getting insurance in the first place, and I'm talking working people here, not illegals, not welfare, far fewer jobs are offering benefits, after all, the bottom line is the American way.
Really, please cite a link to a speech where she says we will deprive Bill Gates of meat on his table one night a week so us greedy working people can get health care. Or that Halliburton, (who by the way is moving to Dubai so it won't have to pay taxes on the money we give it to fix things in Iraq) will lower its return to investors. Please do it quickly, the more I think about redistribution of wealth, well.....the more it seems like its overdue. But then, I'm not wealthy, I just work.
Since you refuse to provide a source I'm left to think that this is just another excuse to insult people...very disappointing. Business as usual from the far right.

"It’s a poorly-kept secret, however. At the annual Take Back America conference on June 3, 2004, Hillary gave Soros a glowing introduction, saying, “We need people like George Soros, who is fearless, and willing to step up when it counts.”
In his new book The Age of Fallibility, Soros writes, “The main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States.” He announced in 2003 that it is necessary to “puncture the bubble of American supremacy.” Soros is working systematically to achieve that goal.
On the economic front, he is shorting the dollar in global currency markets, trying to force a devaluation. At the same time, Soros is orchestrating a nationwide movement to encourage mass immigration into the United States, and to mandate the provision of free social services to illegal immigrants. These measures alone have the potential to bankrupt the nation.
Hillary can only benefit from these machinations. If the Democrats win, we can rest assured that Soros and Hillary will be pulling the strings behind the scenes, no matter which figurehead they choose to sit on the throne."

Well, I am **far** from being uninformed but Im not sure to what you are referring.
Which particular plan is this again?
I am no fan of either Clinton, but for her to have vocalized a policy in this manner would be surprising to me. Please provide a link to the site on which you found this information.
To clk below, how is removing a tax-break "redistribution of wealth?"
Because of the number of baby boomers that will be drawing on social security, medicare and medicaid combined with Bush's 2003 prescription drug plan, America will face severe monetary shortages. Please see (and perhaps comment on) my question here:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Aks3Fv23eKYpdgxA62Ca1qHty6IX?qid=20070708201921AAn6DnY
It really started putting the fear into me. Removing certain tax breaks will most likely be needed to repair the damage that Bush's spend and spend some more policy has wrought on our budget. So even thought I am no Clinton admirer, at least she is speaking the truth in this regard. We cannot mortgage our future.

I'm assuming you are talking about her quote at one point about taking excess oil profits and using them for the good of the nation? While on some levels this does look like socialism it can never be because at it's core it relies on the corporation.. in other words no capitalism, no corporate excess profits. On the other side of that I really don't see congress letting her do that anyway... We do support the free market after all, we just do our best to keep an eye out for the little guy.
Now this does raise an interesting point though.. we have a department of energy and power is regulated... seeing how entwined our system of living is on oil.. and due to the fact that it is a limited commodity.. should it be regulated also?
That's a question I don't see an answer coming for very soon..
Edit: I do want to throw in there that I haven't picked who I'm voting for yet.. so no one has my support at this time.

Do you actually believe she will follow through if elected? She's making promises that she will never keep (as usual). She accepts millions from corporate donors. Wake up. We already have a system that redistributes the wealth. The problem is it is destroying the middle class and creating a haves/have nots society. Even if the government took ALL the money from the super rich and gave it to the poor, it would not be much per person.
The idiots with the thumbs down do not understand economics and paper wealth versus income.
