Rubbish! He was answering a question about raising taxes on people
earning over $250k. He said that it wasn't that he wanted to punish
anyone's sucess (ie. by raising taxes) and then he want on to explain
his trickle-up theory. You simply can't rewrite history and claim that
this was somehow not related to the taxation discussion.

Fair enough. But, folks have been using his "spread the wealth" comment
to argue he's a socialist who wants to punish the rich. That's bull****.
He supports progressive taxation because he shares the same philosophy
about the importance of the middle class as Henry Ford did.

Josh Rosenbluth

It was an unfortunate choice of words. With as much speaking a presidential
candidate does it's bound to happen. It's nothing compared to "Bomb, Bomb,
Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran" but McCain is going to ride this thing until the
election because he doesn't have anything else.
