During last night's final presidential debate, Sen. John McCain took more than one swipe at Sen. Barack Obama as someone who wants to "spread the wealth" in America. It was codespeak for "Sen. Obama will raise taxes on the rich and force them to 'redistribute' their wealth to the middle class." If John McCain has such a big issue with spreading the wealth, then why is he just fine with having the American taxpayer spread the wealth to corporate America in the form of bailouts for Wall Street, AIG, banks, airlines, on and on? it's okay for ordinary Americans to subsizide Wall Street while the rich, many of whom live AND work on Wall Street, don't have to subsidize anyone?

Sorry, John, but you can't have it both ways. Mama says so. If we subsidize you, buddy, then you're gonna have to subsidize us. Trickle-down economics, I think you call it.
