2010 Liberal Jackass Quotes of the Year - #19

Sen. Max Baucus  (D - Montana)

"[ObamaCare is] an income shift, it is a shift, a leveling to help lower income middle income Americans. Too often, much of late, the last couple three years the mal-distribution of income in America is gone up way too much, the wealthy are getting way, way too wealthy, and the middle income class is left behind. Wages have not kept up with increased income of the highest income in America. This legislation will have the effect of addressing that mal-distribution of income in America."

Thanks for letting the cat out of the bag, Maxie; for admitting the truth about what the Democrat health care scheme is actually about: "When you spread the wealth around it's a good thing for everyone." - Barack Obama to Joe the Plumber

Taking from the rich to give to the poor sounds nice, but the reality is the rich provide jobs and America is in a period of almost 10% unemployment. There's little doubt that by playing Robin Hood the Democrats will continue (or increase) our unemployment situation, because those who provide jobs will now have to give more of their money to the government instead of prospective employees...I'd call it the 'law of unintended consequences' if I believed it was 'unintended.'

What it really is is 'trickle up economics.' As in the economy will feed the government instead of the people...I'm sure it will work out wonderfully for the poor and middle-class. Sure it will.

No doubt Joe Biden was correct: "This is a big f---ing deal."

Drop the "deal" and add 'of the American people' and you get to the true heart of the matter.
