Howard Dean: Redistribution of Wealth is What Government Does
Howard Dean made the sharpest comparison yet between what the protesters in Egypt are standing for, why they're standing for it, and why we should pay attention to similar circumstances in this country. His key point is toward the middle of the video, where he says this:
The fact of the matter is when social inequality and wage inequality gets too large, you have social instability. we are in a position now where we are in trouble in this country. I wouldn't say we could be Egypt next week, but people really are disillusioned by the government and corporations. They don't trust any institution very much, and that's why. I think the President missed a chance to say that in front of the Chamber. he would have gotten i think a lot of credit from the American people if he had.
I don't agree that saying it to the Chamber would have gotten a lot of credit from the American people. I doubt most people would even know he'd said it, and if they did, it would have been so twisted up that it would have played as a negative, given today's environment. But what Governor Dean says about inequality is right on the money.

Note to republicans, this is what they truly believe. This is why I call them the Communist Democrat Party. There is no compromise in these people's heart. It is a waste of time to try to compromise, they must be beaten and beaten badly. The CDP can never have control over any government for it will and always has end in ruin because CDPers are just not right in the head.

Hats off to Howard Dean. At least he's honest. Can't fault him for his honesty.

And in Howierd Dean's honesty, we find what Jefferson had in mind when he said, "Government at it's best is a necessary EVIL; at it's worst, it is an intolerable EVIL."
Wherever your government lies on that sliding scale, you may presume that it is grounded in EVIL.

Thank God a "Bear of little brain" like him isn't holding any office connected to foreign, fiscal, or monetary policy. You could take the entire population's earning is Egypt and level it out equally, and all you'd end up with is everyone being equally poor, which would make them all only very modestly less poor than the bulk of them are now, and nobody would have the capital to do anything to improve the place. It would actually be worse off than it is now. The fact that Dean does not understand this basic fact indicates he must never be entrusted with any responsible public office.

Remind me why they were furious with Joe the Plumber.
