Cass Sunstein

JERUSALEM – It is "desirable" to redistribute America's wealth to poorer nations, argued President Obama's newly confirmed regulatory czar, Cass Sunstein.

According to Sunstein, global climate change is primarily the fault of U.S. environmental behavior and can, therefore, be used as a mechanism to redistribute the country's wealth.

The argument bears striking resemblance to comments made by Obama's former environmental adviser, Van Jones. WND reported Jones used a major environmental convention to argue for spreading America's wealth.

Now WND has learned Sunstein made similar, more extensive arguments.

The Obama czar penned a 2007 University of Chicago Law School paper – obtained and reviewed by WND – in which he debated whether America should pay "justice" to the world by entering into a compensation agreement that would be a net financial loss for the U.S.

Sunstein heavily leans on the side of such an agreement, particularly a worldwide carbon tax that would heavily tariff the U.S.

A prominent theme throughout Sunstein's 39-page paper, entitled "Climate Change Justice," maintains U.S. wealth should be redistributed to poorer nations. He uses terms such as "distributive justice" several times. The paper was written with fellow attorney Eric A. Posner

"It is even possible that desirable redistribution is more likely to occur through climate change policy than otherwise, or to be accomplished more effectively through climate policy than through direct foreign aid," wrote Sunstein.

He posited: "We agree that if the United States does spend a great deal on emissions reductions as part of an international agreement, and if the agreement does give particular help to disadvantaged people, considerations of distributive justice support its action, even if better redistributive mechanisms are imaginable.

"If the United States agrees to participate in a climate change agreement on terms that are not in the nation's interest, but that help the world as a whole, there would be no reason for complaint, certainly if such participation is more helpful to poor nations than conventional foreign-aid alternatives," he wrote.

Sunstein maintains: "If we care about social welfare, we should approve of a situation in which a wealthy nation is willing to engage in a degree of self-sacrifice when the world benefits more than that nation loses."

Sunstein is not the only Obama czar to make such an argument. Jones made similar remarks before he resigned earlier this month after WND exposed he is an admitted radical communist.

Two weeks before Jones started his White House job in March, he delivered the keynote address at Power Shift '09, billed as the largest youth summit on climate change in history. A reported 12,000 young people were at the D.C. Convention Center for the event.

During his speech, available on YouTube, Jones used terms such as "eco-apartheid" and "green for some," and preached about spreading the wealth while positing a call to "change the whole system."

In one section of his 29-minute speech, Jones referenced "our Native American brothers and sisters" who, he claimed, were "pushed," "bullied," "mistreated" and "shoved into all the land that we didn't want."

"Guess what?" Jones continued. "Give them the wealth! Give them then wealth! No justice on stolen land ... we owe them a debt."

"We have to create a green economy, that's true, that's true. But we have to create a green economy that Dr. King would be proud of," Jones exclaimed.

What he really means is a BLACK economy.

There is just no use trying to reply to a Flaming Retard such as this dck sucking idiot.

Maybe they can finally get all the Little Wild Animals Lawyers now and they can sue us Humans for Reparations.

If you Father Barack Liberals don't see this ass as just as loony as it can get with and bang, then you are just as retarded as he and Obama is.

Obama is a pure dogged out fool that is nothing more than a Semi-Polished Activist Radical.

I have no words to describe just how truly Loony this entire White House, Congress, and all these Socialist Czars really are.

I can not believe any of you can buy into any of this crap and call it sanity ????? !!!!!!!!!

Where in the f*ck did this Obama guy come from ??????????????????

My loving God in Heaven take this burden and yoke from off of us all ,,,,, PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

.

Obama goes from one loon to another. My only hope is that the eyes of America open up and speak out with their votes in 2010 and 2012 and that any damage done by these loons is not so severe that it can't be undone. To be honest with you guys, I had no idea such extreme liberalism existed before the Big O got elected.

Quote:The conclusion is that while a suitably designed climate change agreement is in the interest of the world, a widely held view is wrong: Arguments from distributive and corrective justice fail to provide strong justifications for imposing special obligations for greenhouse gas reductions on the United States.

I'm just shocked that a paper examining whether or not arguments based on distributive justice were sufficient to impose special obligations on the United States would use the term distributive justice multiple times. Who'd a thunk it.

How the hell are we supposed to "share our wealth" when we are flat out broke as a nation? We have more liabilities than assets. We can not fund our ongoing debt obligations. Let's try and fix that first you f'in DC morons.

Glenn Beck: Sunstein 'Most Dangerous' Czar

Wednesday, September 9, 2009 6:38 PM

By: Jim Meyers

Conservative talker Glenn Beck says Cass Sunstein, who is awaiting Senate confirmation as President Obama's new Regulatory Czar, "is probably the most dangerous czar out there."

Sunstein, a Harvard Law School professor and longtime friend of Obama, would head the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, and oversee all governmental regulations.

Beck blasted Sunstein on the air Wednesday and outlined several of his positions:


"Cass Sunstein is a guy who is against the Second Amendment, who believes that the purpose of the Second Amendment is not an individual right but a federal right. He says almost all gun control legislation is constitutionally fine."


"He also believes that we ought to ban hunting. He says a willingness to subject animals to suffering will be seen as a form of barbarity, morally akin to slavery and the mass extermination of human beings. He believes that animals should have a right, should be able to bring suit, because they are not property. . .

"This is a guy who thinks that rats should be able to have attorneys. If you have rats in your basement, you are not to poison rats. You can't make this stuff up."


"On free speech, Cass Sunstein says a system of limitless individual choices with respect to communications is not necessarily in the interest of citizenship and self-government."

Beck said Sunstein "would like to control the Internet" and espouses "a legislative effort to regulate broadcasting in the interest of Democratic principles. Wow, that's the words that [Venezuelan President Hugo] Chavez always used.


"On taxes, Sunstein scolds readers like small-minded selfish children for opposing the size, scope, expansion, and skyrocketing expense of the government."

Beck said Democrats need 60 votes to confirm Sunstein but "they cannot get 60 votes with Ted Kennedy gone. That means every single Republican must stand against Cass Sunstein, and most of these weasels in Washington haven't done their homework enough to know who this guy is."

Beck told listeners: "It is time to get everyone you know to call Capitol Hill" and voice opposition to Sunstein. "Call the Senate," because Sunstein is "the most dangerous guy out there right now."

2009 Newsmax.

I'm telling ya, we need a big ol' tax on lawyers.

Or a big ol' lake.

.

We just need to drop old Cass Sunstein off in Borneo and let him Commune with his beloved nature until they cut him out of a 40 Foot Python that has been swallowed by a Crocodile.

I wonder if he would be willing to get the Python and the Croc some legal assistance after decomposing inside their bellies for a week.

Freakin' RETARDED RETARD !!!!!!!!!!
