The answer is yes. But if in that statement you are implying it is unto them according to their talents and to them according to their needs then you are in the wrong country. This is a democracy not socialism, etc. As an aside..another good laugh for the Gods of Politics is the ability to have other states pay for Nebraska, New York, etc costs. Although it is unconstitutional they passed it with flying colors.
There was a point that this belongs under "politics"..I don't think so. I really belongs under "jokes" if there were such a category.

Then we have the man from Nebraska who sells his soul by taking bribes for a vote. We have a person (Pelosi) from California who grew from being a secretary (no pun meant to that fine occupation) to being the leader of the House and believing the government is a charitable institution rather than a govering body expressly responsible for protection from outside threats and the individual rights of each citizen. In the middle of all of this they drop in a President from the most corrupt section of the country. Gambling+Bribes+Ignorant+Corruption+Other misc corruptionable senators=A disaster for rights of citizens.
The Gods of Politics have to be laughing at the joke being played on the American people and how they don't have the character to fight it.
