"world order" socialist programs....where do you get this shit?....Obama stated that he would let the Bush tax cuts expire for people earning over $200,000 a year....that's a far cry from being a socialist program....he made the mistake of referring to this tax cut expiration as a "spreading of wealth" and McCain jumped all over it, calling it socialism....this is no more "socialism" than it was before the Bush tax cuts were implemented.....in view of the record profits posted by Exxon and the spreading distance between the middle class and the wealthy, allowing the tax cuts to expire would seem a good idea....the fact that John McCain repeatedly called this idea "socialist" and proclaimed it LOUDLY doesn't make it socialist....but it would seem that saying it often and loudly does succeed in convincing those who would not bother to look at what was actually said.....
Obama stated that he would give tax "rebates" to people who don't pay income taxes. This is wealth redistribution plain and simple. A few will pay a lot more, some will pay a bit less, many will pay nothing and get a check on the rest of us.
HUMM!! I distinctly recall getting a tax rebate recently from the current Bush administration, even though I no longer pay any taxes for several years. True, I got the minimum amount. Also true that before I retired I paid lots and lots of taxes for lots and lots of years. Seems this "spread the wealth" is quite bi-partisan.
I am still awaiting my "bailout" check from all those hundreds of billions the big financial firms got.
Socialism in America? It has been a homegrown American custom since shortly after the great Depression, loved and expanded by both Republicans and Democrats.
