Presidential candidates, please focus on this: A Gallup Poll found that Americans overwhelmingly—by 84 percent to 13 percent—prefer that the "government focus on improving overall economic conditions and the jobs situation in the United States as opposed to taking steps to distribute wealth more evenly among Americans."

This topic is pathetic. It correlates two different things: namely, wealth redistribution and the New Deal.
Terrible job.

"... taking steps to distribute wealth more evenly among Americans."
What this always amounts to is taking steps to distribute more wealth into politicians (and their cronies) pockets. Think about it; you almost never see an overweight rabbit or a poor politician. Presidents, congressmen, senators, governors, etc, if they weren't rich when they got into office, they sure were when they left. And if you want more proof, how many poor people have armies of blood-sucking parasites following them around for a handout? Only politicians do because only politicians have an endless pool of taxpayer's $$$ to hand out like swill to hogs. Y, if they want to "take steps" to help average Americans, try making those steps a long walk off a short pier.

One thing most Americans (citizens, that is) want is our borders and interior immigration laws enforced, i.e., a certain ethnic group isn't allowed to break several laws concurently and then charge "racist, bigot, xenophobic, isolationist, protectionist, KKK, Nazi swine" to those of us who demand equal and fair treatment before the law.
The Jorge Bush, Juan McAmnesty, Osama/Obama 24/7/365 "Hispandering" needs to come to an end. We can be friends and neighbors with Mexico (as chronically corrupt as they are), and we can accept some (but not half of Mexico) here as LEGAL immigrants but we sure as hell are not going to accept half of Mexico emptying out to come to our country and turn us into s bi-lingual, Latino dominated "Norte Americano".
The obsessive open borders, "free trade uber alles" fetishists fail to comprehend that we are more than merely an economy or a market. We are a nation, with a history, a culture, language, religion, customs, values, traditions.
