Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends,
Then let's go dancing.
Let's break out the booze
And have a ball
If that's all
There is.

LOL

Probably my favorite creepy-crazy-world-weary song ever!

Love the song. As for the topic, on CNN last night David Gergen pointed out that the Earned Income Credit, the most 'redistributive' part of the current tax system, was implemented by...Ronald Reagan.

I love how the right first referred to it as "spreading", and then when that attempt at an evil buzz phrase didn't gain traction, they changed it to "redistribution".

it ain't working, folks. move on.

What is wrong with a little redistribution? I will take a little loving.

The McCain campaign has hit rock bottom. I bet they attack Obama's big ears next!

I just read a screed from an obnoxious Republican who claims he can't live on $180K per year.

Let's get this straight - our money to help/assist those that make less is called welfare, but our money to help/buy banks is called a bail-out.

That reminds me of what my dad always said: a poor person that steals is a thief, a rich person that steals is a kleptomaniac.

I'll take tens and twenties, please. All I want is my fair share.
