Regulatory Czar Cass Sunstein Wants to Spread America's Wealth
2009-10-15
It is "desirable" to redistribute America's wealth to poorer nations, argued President Obama's newly confirmed regulatory czar, Cass Sunstein.

According to Sunstein, global climate change is primarily the fault of U.S. environmental behavior and can, therefore, be used as a mechanism to redistribute the country's wealth. The argument bears striking resemblance to comments made by Obama's former environmental adviser, Van Jones. WND reported Jones used a major environmental convention to argue for spreading America's wealth.

Now WND has learned Sunstein made similar, more extensive arguments.

Bull$hit! This guy is one of the America haters. Cass how about beginning the process by re-distributing your income. What a moron. Is there some kind of a$$hole machine that keeps spitting out these nut jobs?

#8  The weird part is that even if he was kidnapped by North Koreans and put in one of their concentration camps to starve, he would look around and say "This is entirely the fault of the United States!"

And the weirder part is that he would believe himself.

#7  It's called charity Mr. Sunstein. You and your friends can write a check for up to 100% of your net worths.

#6  Psychobabble (a portmanteau of psychology or psychoanalysis and babble) is a form of prose using jargon, buzzwords and highly esoteric language to give an impression of plausibility through mystification, misdirection, and obfuscation

Lesson number one: To be a member of the administration you must master the art of psychobabble.

How do these idiots get to where they are? Do they have long tongues or something? Maybe this is why Obama doesn't vet his candidates so he can claim ignorance when they spouting crap like this. As idiotic as this is, it almost suggests that he's using them as trial balloons or something.

I like newc's suggestion. Start with the Cass's current and future personal wealth (along with that of all of the supporters of this stupid policy), then go from there.
