RUSH: We are working on a piece of sound I just was advised exists. I just sent it up to Cookie. It's from Jim Moran, congressman from Virginia, and he says something on this sound bite that is really the crux, arguably the crux of this election. Jim Moran says, "We've been guided by a Republican administration who believes in the simplistic notion that people who have wealth are entitled to keep it."
That's the crux of this election! The Democrats think that it's a silly notion, a "simplistic notion," that people who have wealth are entitled to keep it. "Now, in the last seven years," in this country, ladies and gentlemen, "we have had the highest corporate profit ever in American history. Highest corporate profit! We've had the highest productivity." We've also had the highest corporate taxes! "We've had the highest productivity. The American worker has produced more per person at any time," in these last seven years. "But it hasn't been shared, and that's the problem, because we've been guided by Republican administration who believes in the simplistic notion that people who have wealth are the -- are entitled to keep it and they have an antipathy towards the means of redistributing wealth."
What do you mean, it hasn't been shared? That's what Moran is, what do you mean we haven't shared it? All this wealth that's been shared... What the hell are these confiscatory tax rates people are paying? This is the crux of this election. The "simplistic notion" that Republicans have, that if you have wealth, you're entitled to keep it. Stop. You want to spread the wealth around? This is Obama, and we have sound bites coming up of him talking about that in greater detail on MTV.

RUSH: Here, audio sound bite 31. This is Jim Moran talking to a group of supporters. This, again, ladies and gentlemen, the crux of the election.
MORAN: We have been guided by a Republican administration who believes in the simplistic notion that people who have wealth are entitled to keep it and they have an antipathy towards means of redistributing wealth. And they may be able to sustain that for a while, but it doesn't work in the long run.
RUSH: It doesn't work in the long run? Capitalism doesn't work in the long run? This is a nation founded on the concept that every individual is an individual. Every individual is unique but has certain inalienable rights. These guys want to tear up the Constitution, rip it to shreds, use it for toilet paper. Simplistic notion that people who have wealth are entitled to keep it? That's your Democrat Party. That's Barack Obama. This is Jim Moran in Virginia, but that's the crux of this election, and Joe the Plumber figured it out very fast.

RUSH: A question for Jim Moran and the rest of you. We all have property rights, the right to own property. Is property wealth? Does Jim Moran want to take property as well? The Democrats want to take property?
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: This is Jim Moran, a Democrat congressman from Virginia, and again, this is the crux of what this election is all about.
MORAN: We have been guided by a Republican administration who believes in the simplistic notion that people who have wealth are entitled to keep it and they have an antipathy towards means of redistributing wealth. And they may be able to sustain that for a while, but it doesn't work in the long run.
RUSH: Capitalism doesn't work in the long run, may be able to sustain it for a while. Jim Moran, Joe the Plumber found this out and extracted it from Obama. The biggest problem you people that have wealth is that you expect to keep it. You earned it, you expect to keep it. Who the hell do you think you are? You have an antipathy toward giving it away. No, we don't have an antipathy toward giving it away. We have an antipathy toward it being stolen. We have an antipathy toward people who have no right to it taking it thinking it is their wealth to redistribute as they see fit. The crux of what this election is all about.
