In any case, Obama isn't a Socialist.

Barack Obama: The Democrat's Nixon
You are posting convenient clips. I was a middle class working American who worked my way up and I am now American dream and I am not ashamed of it.

Trying to take this opportunity away from others is self serving and greedy of you and of Obama. I hope many others can make their American dream come true. Nobody considers collecting welfare a dream life.

When you vote for Obama vote your kids and grandkids opportunity down the crapper. That is greedy and selfish.

MTAtech, there is nothing wrong with making money so get off your socialistic high horse.

I am not on a high horse. My post was to illustrate that you don't know what socialism is but use it as a curse word.

As such, you can't characterize Mr. Obama as a Socialist when you don't know what Socialism is.

The discussion of your misuse of the word 'Socialism' has nothing to do with what you want for your family.

I'll vote for Obama and the redistribution of income that the country has been practicing for more than 60 years.

...over what Romney wants, to redistribute national income upward. Eliminate environmental regulations so the cost of industrial pollution isn't borne by the industry but by the public at large; cut financial regulation, so the financial industry won't be prevented from bilking the public; and, cut taxes on the wealthy and pass the cost of running the government to the middle class.

Yes, he does every year by paying more than twice the effective rate of Romney.

Both the Democratic Party and Republican Party are for wealth redistribution. The difference is that Democrats would like to see the wealth distributed to the poor and middle class. The Republicans would like to see the wealth distributed to the wealthy.

Is there even such a thing as a pure socialist society?

So you still have no idea what socialism means.....
