Biden: "We want to take money..."
Funny/Scary video from an interview with Biden. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArJkzRYffec
"We want to take money and put it back in the pocket of middle class people."
I guess it's at the point now where you just come out and say that you're going to redistribute wealth, don't even have to be tricky about it.

That implies it was in their pocket to begin with.
So he's just "giving it back" to them, not taking it from someone else.

Of course it was in their pocket. They paid the big corporations and wealthy people for goods and services, but the greedy corporations and rich people overcharged them, so it's the government's duty to give that money back to them!
*gag*

Re: Biden: "We want to take money..."
Gosh, that's funny. Normally when a company overcharges me for something I either return it or demand they sell it at the price I agreed to when I made the purchase.
Oh, wait, you meant a different kind of "overcharging" didn't you.

This overcharging thing... Do you mean like a battery charger left on high for the weekend?
Or, perhaps when they twist your arm WAY behind your back while you are scoping out the new fashions...

I agree! I want the money I spent on movies this summer taken out of the pockets of the actors and given back to me!
This place reminds me of Santa's workshop. Except it smells like mushrooms and everyone looks like they want to hurt me.

What he said:
Biden wrote:
"We want to take money and put it back in the pocket of middle class people."
What I heard:
Zuk: Excuse me, but your hand is in my pocket!
Biden: What? Oh that? Oh, no...you don't understand. I was putting money in your pocket....

It's when he reaches around from pocket to pocket that it REALLY starts bothering me...

According to Latka Gravis, on Taxi, that would make him a Put-pocket...

Re: Biden: "We want to take money..."
I'm sure we'll have a big media storm now with lots of outrage over his questioning of other people's patriotism...
