    Does raising taxes make you a socialist? Obama is going to rescind tax cuts and you call him a socialist. Is that the new standard for socialism?

    It's not the raising of taxes that makes it Socialistic. It's what the new money raised is going to that makes it Socialistic.

    More tax for increased National Security/Infrastructure = OK
    More tax in order to issue Tax Credits for people who don't pay any tax = NOT OK

    It is when you mock the cons ution and supreme courts for not focusing on wealth redistribution.

    It is when you demand oil companies send $1,000 checks to every Americant. Palin did not do the same thing, so don't waste your time.

    It is when you have ties to radical socialists. Grew up around communists. Surrounded yourself with said people all throughout your higher education.

    It is when you try to demonize capitalism.

    It is when you are obviously pandering to the lower class while stoking the fire of class warfare.

    It is when you tell the lower class who do not pay taxes that they are getting tax cuts while NOT HAVING THE BALLS to tell the actual tax payers and achievers that their increased taxes are going to be free checks to people who have not earned them.

    Bush has been a horrible president, and is FAR from a fiscal conservative. Keep trying to label him as such to people who know no better.


    "They socialized wall street, so why not socialize main street."

    Take a look at the ing lowest of the low places in this country. Nothing but government dependence. Nothing but failure while those in office are the only ones who receive.

    A doofus who will not try to change the face of America while we weather this storm.

    He has shown he will reach across to the lib s. Barrack will do nothing but enjoy his power gained through en lements. America will become just another European welfare state that will take decades to recover from.

    Socialism:

    1: any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods
    2 a: a system of society or group living in which there is no private property b: a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state
    3: a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done


    LMAO at dip s like you who don't get how what Palin does is more legitimately defined as socialism than shifting tax rates.
