Barney Frank, with his mouth full of marbles, managed to mutter something very telling. In an interview, which is actually from October of last year, Barney had this to say in regards to the idea of an economic stimulus bill:

"Yes, I believe later on there should be tax increases ... Speaking personally, I think there are a lot of rich people out there whom we can tax at a point down the road and recover some of this money."

Can anybody tell me what has my boxers in a bunch? Read it again. Did you catch the phrase "recover" some of this money? What's the premise there? The premise is that this money belonged to the government, and somehow these evil rich people got their hands on it. Now it's time for Slobbering Barney and his band of super-heroes to go out there and get the people's money back. That, in fact, is exactly what these government goons think. They believe that all wealth belongs to "the people;" that means to the government .. and that they are on some holy quest to go out there and get that money back from the crooks and wealthy criminals who have stolen it from worthy Americans.
