I mean think about it, you have all these issues, the main one right now is the economy.  Why doesn't anyone ever explore what's beyond the tax relief they are or aren't going to receive.  Let's think about the statistical links between poverty and stress, poverty and drugs, poverty and violence, poverty and prostitution and other crimes like burglary and check fraud and so on.  There's a large burden on the healthcare and prison system, we have the health problems associated with stress, there are drug overdoses, victims of violence, high incidents of rape among prostitutes, the list goes on and on; and the over-crowding of prisons with the perpetrators of those crimes.  If there was more money and opportunity, this burden would be reduced; new prisons wouldn't be needed, less people would be hospitalized.  Couple that with healthcare reform and you would reduce the worry, and reduce the amount of people not able to pay for treatment.  It's all interlinked.  The money saved in the healthcare and prison systems could go towards education.  Less kids turning to crime and instead going to less crowded schools with more teachers and better resources would lead to even less crime and a more productive, happy society.

So when I hear these McCain supporters saying Obama wants to spread the wealth around.  I say why the hell not!  Do you think those 5% making more than $250,000 a year are going to feel the kind of despair I'm talking about if their taxes go up by 3%?  Hell no, but now think about the relief for those 95% when they get that break, and they get that healthcare, and the future generations that won't be stuck with a bad mortgage because of unchecked predatory lending by unregulated banks. 

Nobody in the media, nobody running for any office, seems to put it all together, you know?  C'mon Cenk, shine the light of truth on this one!
