Shall We Discuss the Effects of ‘spreading the Wealth’?

From The London Times: [1]

North Korea is clamping down on mobile phones and long distance telephone calls to prevent the spread of news about a worsening food crisis, according to the United Nations investigator on human rights for the isolated communist country.

This is the end result of spreading the wealth.  This is the end result of the policies Barack Obama spoke glowingly of, to Joe the Plumber.

Period,

Halt.

Full Stop.

Alto.

Arret.

Addendum:  ( David L )

Shall we dicuss?   Why yes. 

Two points.

One I believe it was the Gipper, b/k/a, Ronald Reagan who said that:  “Socialists are those who studied Karl Marx,  ex-socialists are those who understand Marx.”   BO is clearly one who has studied Marx but does not understand Marx.   Then BO does not seem to demonstrate a keen understanding of anything.

Two, the term “Spreading the Wealth” would be better understood to mean, spreading poverty.   In every case where socialism was adopted as the guiding principle of government that result has been near universal grinding poverty, save for the self-anointed ruling elite.   I am sure that BO is more than willing to spread the wealth Joe the Plumber earns.   I dare say, he is not will to let Joe or anybody else share his mansion.   Politicians are all for national sacrifice, for everybody except themselves.   Too many polticians, in both parties, have seen government service as opportunity to acquire personal wealth.
