Barack Obama: A True Socialist!!

This is how liberals think... yet they get real agitated and defensive over the word communism... which is what their political agenda is all about. It doesn't matter if they use socialist or progressive or any of the other code words... it all means the same thing... government control over our businesses and our daily live and the forced redistribution of wealth. Most every social program has this goal, whether it is Universal Health Care, or some spending plan such as that Global Anti Bill that Obama sponsored. Every tax increase and anything that is aimed at taking money from your pocket to benefit someone else for ANY reason is part of this. Maxine Waters messed up big time and actually threatened to Nationalize oil production during those hearings recently, which brought the communist aspirations of the liberals right out in the open in front of everyone who saw the video. The liberals are all communists, and I don't care whether they are Marxists, Stalinists or who it is they admire, because it all amounts to the same thing... making us all slaves to the government, to be dictated to like good proletariats.

Thanks for posting this link. The author makes a great case against socialism and Obama's position in terms even a 5 year old can understand. Obama is making simple platitude type arguements using 'feel good' logic that absolutely do not stand up under scrutiny by a thinking person. The article at the link puts one of these simple platitude arguements with its 'feel good' logic under scrutiny. I recommend it.

I too do not want someone else deciding if I make more money than I ought to. I remember one of those annoying Obamites telling me that a family making 60,000 dollars a year does not deserve a tax cut, and deserves to pay more in taxes. Well thank God we have such self-righteous people here on MyLot who run around telling people who deserve their money and who does not. You know what we do have alot of self-righteous people here on MyLot and they are all on the Obama side, but why would that surpise anyone. Obama is the king of self-righteousness.

My first thought is is he giving a slice of his money pie away? I wonder if he would give me a slice if he knew I could really use it?

That's not so much an "article" as an opinion piece. Do you have a link to the article that covers that speech?

Socialism and communism are two very different economic concepts. Under a communist economic system, everyone works for the government (since the government owns all), and everyone gets paid by the government: From each according to ability, to each according to need. Socialism is comprised of high tax rates, such as what they have in Europe (Germany, France, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, UK, etc.) People in these countries pay upwards of 50% of their income in tax, but receive many, many benefits in return (free health care, free education through college, free day care, elder care, unemployment, etc). The main difference between socialism and communism is that in socialism, everyone still has the opportunity to choose their own destiny, to become rich beyond their dreams through hard work. Nationalizing companies doesn't equate to communism, because, as you know, the US is far from being communist but yet the government "owns" many business sectors (education being one). Yes, democrats believe in social programs that offer "handouts" to people; but republicans offer "business incentives" all the time. IMHO, same concept, just a different group of people getting government money.
