Let me see here........................
Obama redistributing wealth so that everyone has a shot to move forward for the good of America or Romney redistributing Wealth just among the wealthy for the good of the Wealthy...................... NOT a difficult choice.
Social Justice isn't for us, it's for other nations.
Why must you "intellectual powerhouses" include things that EVERYONE uses as wealth redistribution? Do you even know what Obama's redistribution scheme is even about? I'll help you out. It is to take money from YOU to give to SOMEONE ELSE for things YOU will NEVER use here AND abroad!
Please enlighten me as to what proposals Mr. Obama has offered that you are referring to?
Mitt Romney is treating 'redistribution' like a dirty word. But while he might like it less than Democrats do, Romney clearly believes in redistribution, too.

More to the point, however: In his attacks, Romney is treating “redistribution” in general as a dirty word – "He believes in redistribution. I don't" – when, in fact, it’s abundantly clear that Romney, too, supports redistribution, “at least at a certain level” (to use Obama’s own phrasing).
What would Romney call it when the government takes in tax dollars and uses them to pay for things like health care for poor folks? Is he saying he would eliminate Medicaid? We think not. Likewise, although Romney would tax the rich at a lower rate than Obama, his tax plan is still progressive.
As The New York Times’s David Firestone wrote Wednesday: “The government has long redistributed wealth, and … the country expects it to do so. That’s the point of a progressive income tax, which has been in effect for nearly a century…. The progressive tax remains so popular that Mr. Romney has promised to keep it, and he also insists he doesn’t plan to eliminate the safety net.” Mitt Romney fact check: Is he actually against redistribution? - CSMonitor.com
Somehow, the Romneyites want you to believe that Obama invented the progressive tax system; Social Security; Medicare; Medicaid and Food Stamps. He didn't but it would be an admirable record to defend. The nation is a better place because we have a safety net and a progressive tax system, instead of the claw in tooth, die in the streets, raw capitalism that existed 120 years ago.
If what Romney is running on is that he will eliminate Social Security; Medicare; Medicaid and Food Stamps, good luck to him.
