Malicious quoting

It would be tempting, but wrong, to use this Paul Martin quote to "prove" that he considers Aboriginals to be the problem:

We gave $5 billion to aboriginals because that's one of the root causes of poverty in our country.

Of course, it would be equally wrong to say that he's just a flaming communist for this gem, too:

Fundamentally, our tax system has got to make sure that, in fact, we take the money from the well off and that we redistribute it to those who don't have it [. . .]
