Quite right. Corporate welfare as well as spending on Lenin inspired medicare bills are equally disdainful.
since some of you are fussing about Cuba and Obama being a socialist, yet you know he doesnt look kindly on corporate welfare, maybe we need to define "socialism" more clearly in the context of this discussion. I dont know what the word is, if there even is one, that means free-flowing largesse from the state to both incarnations of taxable entities.
Sure it does. Republicans get away with being the biggest spenders in 2000-2006 and the liberal RINO Republicans still back them.
Like the Communist party, these Republicans believe more in the party than the idealogy it was founded on.
Most of it was because of the war...
I am a very active person in the GOP.. actually president of one asociation... and trust me this doesnt represent the majority,, yes a lot of republican are liberal republican,, but are strong capitalist minded people... but liberal in social.
Barak has openly touted his redistribution of wealth plans. He wants to raise taxes on all Americans, but substantially on the wealthy, and redistribute part of it to the poor. It’s not enough that the “rich†(those making more than $250,000 per year) are a relatively small group currently paying the vast majority of all taxes.
Now, on the surface, I might not have a problem with this type of redistribution. However, I am ever mindful of something Ronald Regan once said- “We can never tax ourselves into prosperityâ€. The fact of the matter is we live in a capitalist economy. Those that produce reap the benefits. Those that don’t produce, reap what they sow- very little.
To try and set forth a shift in our economy to redirect and punish those that produce and reward those that don’t seems very dangerous- for both classes.
I'm all for it. Bush has redistributed the wealth of the Middle Class to the Upper Class during his presidency - now it's time for a reversal.
Reagan was a hack- you can produce all you possibly can in this economy, yet average wages won't get you a stable, middle-class lifestyle.

Obama is not necessarily an outright socialist, but he's a HUGE supporter of the social welfare state. For conservatives like myself, this creates a huge moral hazard as social welfare actually LIMITS freedom...economic freedom. It creates dependency when implemented incorrectly (which it nearly always is) and provides a very inefficient conduit (bureaucrac) than other methods of helping people out.

I wouldn't trust anyone on the internet saying something so ridiculous. I'm also a member of the Republican party and actively involved in BJ Lawson's election. There are few candidates I support from the party, and I practically want to puke when listening to most of the liberal warmongering RINOs around me.

Whoa whoa whoa B J Lawson? You live in the Raleigh area?

Most of it was NOT for the war. That's a total lie. Most of it was for discretionary spending and social programs, like that $300B Medicare bill and that $300B Fannie/Freddie bailout.
Today's Republican leadership is liberal to the core. Making war does not make one conservative. In fact, since the Soviets did the same, it merely solidifies a liberal argument.
