Trick or Treat for Redistribution, or how to explain Barack Obama to a child
Gleefully swiped from Facebook:
How Barack Obama explains Trick or Treat to his children:
"The trick is figuring out how do we structure government systems to pool candy and hence facilitate some redistribution. Because I actually believe in redistribution, at least at a certain level, to make sure that everybody's got a treat."
In fact, President Obama has spoken about Halloween many times over the years. Here's a brief recap.
"I do think at a certain point you've collected enough candy."
"I think when you spread the candy around, it's good for everybody."
"If you've got a great costume — you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen."
"The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their candy so that someone else can have more."
"You got into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the candy has been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced it. And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna get candy again and they have not. And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't going out for Trick or Treat or anti-sugar sentiment or anti-Halloween sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."
Oh, and don't forget kids, if you didn't get enough candy? That's George Bush's
fault.
