I think CNN, which started out as a good news channel, saw all the money FOX fake news was making so they decided to jump on the band wagon to prop up their profits but now FOX fake news is losing money so they switched at the wrong time now it just makes them look unprofessional chasing money/ratings.
Politics is all about creating good societies. What is wrong with a state-of-the-art public health care system that ensure that you can have heart surgery or cancer surgery or whatever for FREE? Is a society that does not redistrubute wealth in some way a warm society? Is it a caring society? Of course the filthy rich can and should contribute more to society than a cleaning lady. Keep in mind that all filthy rich people have become rich due to the labor of the workers that they have employed.
Joe Biden is a smart man. I think I would have responded in the same way. I am Norwegian and live in "socialist Europe" as some republicans would say. I have to laugh every time I hear the republicans bring up this subject. And McCain blamed Obama for talking about distribution of wealth like it was some plague or something. Why is Norway and other Scandinavian countries always voted "best in the world" in terms of standard of living, per capita income etc.? It is worth investingating.
The Democratic ticket has answered all questions during this campaign. The Republicans are the ones not answering questions. Remember Palins "I may not going to answer the questions the way you or the Moderators wants" that was laughable :) why even show up to the debate then?
"The necessaries of life occasion the great expense of the poor. (...) The luxuries and vanities of life occasion the principal expense of the rich, and a magnificent house embellishes and sets off to the best advantage all the other luxuries and vanities which they possess. (...) It is not very unreasonable that the rich should contribute to the public expense, not only in proportion to their revenue, but something more than in that proportion."
Well said.
I'm british and I love my NHS.

Surely you don't live under a rock, so I'm going to assume your question is just a sarcastic one.

What was reasonable for Adam Smith, the grandaddy of capitalism, sounds like hardcore communism and stupidity for the Republicans of today.
