Spreading the wealth – taking from the ambitious and giving to the nonproductive.

Spreading health care – killing babies for organs and stem cells that can help sick and injured adults.

Spreading retirement funds – taking worker’s savings to bail out their bungling employers.

Spreading knowledge – limiting college admissions for intelligent youth and giving scholarships to school drop-outs.

Spreading opportunity – outsourcing jobs and offering illegal aliens amnesty.

Spreading freedom of speech – hindering the propagation of truth and decency while permitting expressions of immorality.

Spreading has been around for quite a while. Some polite names for it are “socialism,” “communism” and “manure.”
