Senator Max Baucuas (D-Mont)- Health Care will address the "mal-distribution of income in America."

Senator Max Baucus (D-Mont)

After the Senate passed a "fix-it" bill via their partian "reconciliation" process to make changes to the new health care law, Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., chairman of the influential Finance Committee, must have suffered a temporary attack of "speak honestly" when he admitted to reporters that the health care overhaul was an "income shift" to help the poor.


"Too often, much of late, the last couple three years, the mal-distribution of income in American is gone up way too much, the wealthy are getting way, way too wealthy and the middle income class is left behind," he said. "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."

"Mal-distribution of income?" 

We know that the Obama White House has stopped using the term "re-distribution of wealth" as it was not sitting well with most working Americans so I guess Senator Baucus decided that the prefix "mal" (bad) would be appropriate under these circumstances.

Of course, it helps to remember that the good sentaor exempted himself and the rest of his colleagues in Congress from this health care reform bill so I can only guess that the distriution of his inome is just right!

When politicians start using their right hand to complain about individuals in a capitalist democratic republic making too much money you know their left hand will not be far behind to relieve you of your "mal-distributed" income!

Remember the 2010 general elections!
