[Mitt] Romney might believe in slightly less redistribution than President Obama does, but the idea that he doesn’t believe in redistribution is belied by every single thing he has ever said he will do as president, and for that matter, by everything he ever did as governor of Massachusetts.
—Ezra Klein. Two days ago, Romney told Fox News that ”the president said yes, he believes in redistribution. I don’t.” Klein notes that despite this, Romney’s website proclaims his belief in “a progressive tax code, the Medicare program, the Medicaid program, the food stamp program, the Social Security program and pretty much every other feature of the federal government that’s involved in redistributing income.” source (via shortformblog)
