News anchor on Biden interview: 'I'm a journalist' - CNN.com
Barbara West: You may recognize this famous quote. "From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs." That's from Karl Marx. How is Sen. Obama not being a Marxist if he's intending to spread the wealth around?
What a ridiculous question.
I think I'm a Marxist. If it were "From each according to their ability and to each according to their need" then shouldn't the Wall Street executives and bankers pushing toxic loans be earning minimum wage (their need) when their ability is negative? But that I could negotiate a golden parachute that allows me to take millions away if I'm so bad that my company needs to fire me with cause?
When historically the wealthy are paying less in taxes than ever before, I agree with Senator Biden. Are your serious? Wealth has been distributed - to the top 1 percent.
