Robert B. Reich has written a column How to End the Great Recession that should send the Republicans right over the edge.

In a way, this justifies the need to redeploy the money from the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy into more productive stimulus of the economy.

However, it will have the Republicans saying, “See, we told you they all had an evil motive.”

Policies that generate more widely shared prosperity lead to stronger and more sustainable economic growth — and that’s good for everyone. The rich are better off with a smaller percentage of a fast-growing economy than a larger share of an economy that’s barely moving. That’s the Labor Day lesson we learned decades ago; until we remember it again, we’ll be stuck in the Great Recession.

The evil side of redistribution of wealth rears its ugly head.  You see, good redistribution of wealth only goes one way according to Republicans.  It only goes from the poor to the rich.

What about the not so rich members of the Republican Tea Party?  They have hopes of being rich someday, so they don’t want to go back to the days of equitable distribution.  Based on their hope for the future, they are willing to give up their rewards in the present.  Sounds almost religious, doesn’t it?
