But it's just not fair. So let's tax 'em.

"We don't call a redistribution in my neighborhood...not giving Exxon Mobil another $4 billion tax cut...and giving it to middle class people to be able to pay to get their kids to college, we don’t call that redistribution. We call that fairness.”
-Joseph Biden

While I think that his definition of fairness is as lacking as his syntax in this sentence, Mr. Biden probably appealed to most American's definitions of fairness...you know, the stuff we learn in pre-school; "everyone should have a turn." And while I agree that people making $250,000 should be using their wealth to benefit others, should they be forced to do so by the government? I'm not sure I can give a good answer -- but I can say that I think we have a higher calling than that:

8 I say this not as a command, but to prove by the earnestness of others that your love also is genuine. 9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich. 10 And in this matter I give my judgment: this benefits you, who a year ago started not only to do this work but also to desire to do it. 11 So now finish doing it as well, so that your readiness in desiring it may be matched by your completing it out of what you have. 12 For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what a person has, not according to what he does not have. 13 For I do not mean that others should be eased and you burdened, but that as a matter of fairness 14 your abundance at the present time should supply their need, so that their abundance may supply your need, that there may be fairness."
- 2 Corinthians 8:8-14

So while I may agree with Mr. Biden on some level, I think I have to disagree.
