Here is how it works: The top 5% of wage earners in this country pay about 75-80% of the total taxes that are paid in this country. This means for every tax dollar spent 75-80cents of it comes from the rich. This money is then used to pave roads, provide schools, pay for police, fire and rescue, cover things like welfare, food stamps etc and pays for the military among many other things that many of us uses all the time.
So if you have a kid that goes to public school 75-80% of their education is funded by the rich. That is spreading the wealth. The rich are paying for things that most people would not be able to afford on their own.

I know that and my point was intended to be implied. Barack H.Obama and His Gang of Thugs intend to strip the "rich"; that is, those with a gross income of over $250K per year of much of that figure, thereby moving them downward into a sort of financial Twilight Zone; taxed as "rich" but ending up with less than those who effectively earn less.
Barack H.Obama couldn't run a lemonade stand, he has never run a business and outside of being paid as a "professor" and "community activist" has never held a real job and therefore has NO respect for those like us WHO WORK FOR A LIVING!
