Quote of the Day - Nancy Pelosi Edition

...We’re talking about addressing the disparity in our country of income, where the wealthy people continue to get wealthier and some other people are falling out of the middle class, when we want to bring many more people into the middle class.



But that disparity is not just about wages alone, that disparity is about ownership and equity.


It’s all about fairness in our country.


And we believe the healthcare bill is about jobs, the energy bill is about jobs, the education bill is about jobs, certainly the Recovery Act is about jobs...


And when people have those jobs, we want them to be able to bargain collectively. We want to pass the Employer Free choice act as well...

My question is when can we start spreading the wealth of her winery?  We can dig up all the grape vines, divide up the property and build some row houses to people who have less than her.  She is one of the "rich", the net worth of the winery is listed somewhere between $5 - $25 million (they don't have to be all that clear on those congressional forms apparently).  I don't own anything that is worth remotely close to $5 million.  So, I think she should spread her wealth with me.  Oh, yeah, she makes $176,000 per year.  She should cut her salary by 2/3 and give the rest to me as I make much less than that per year. Actually, since she has money and property she really doesn't need the money, so c'mon Nanny, hand it over.
