However ...I actually don't get a great many things. However I do "get" what socialism is. And having lived in the PRM for my entire life I know what the democratic agenda is, it's pure socialism. Complete and utter dependence on the state for food, education, protection and even liberty. Like a government can distribute liberty! Ha!<BR/><BR/>And I agree that we are not in a free market, but what market is free? Just because there is some oversight or regulation doesn't instantly make any market a communist or socialist one.<BR/><BR/>I never said anything about capital gains taxes or FICA ceilings. Please do not assume my stance on <I>anything</I> unless it's posted. And I might flip-flop just to keep everyone on their toes.<BR/><BR/>Although I may be <I>financially</I> better under Obama, doesn't mean I'll be better off on the whole. Then again even the "tax cut" might just be complete crap the second he's elected...Natoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10529708894229717666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6594902428992225313.post-37861576576273789992008-10-31T17:50:00.000-04:002008-10-31T17:50:00.000-04:00On that second quote, I'd say we're over half way ...On that second quote, I'd say we're over half way there. An Obammy win with a Dimocrat majority will cinch up the other half.....Mayberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07664966137470121099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6594902428992225313.post-18220937832807279842008-10-31T13:30:00.000-04:002008-10-31T13:30:00.000-04:00You just don't get it do you? You call Obama a so...You just don't get it do you? You call Obama a socialist. Do you really think that we have free markets, do you? And you hurl the word Socialist like it's slur. Every economy is a blend of communism, socialism and capitalism.<BR/><BR/>You complain about the guy who hasn't even won. <BR/><BR/>How about the TRILLIONS spend in the last two months to bail out the bigshots who don't need a bailout!?!?! Is that socialism to you?<BR/><BR/>Why do you think capital gains should be taxed at a lower rate than wages?<BR/><BR/>Why do you think that having a ceiling on FICA contributions is a good thing?<BR/><BR/>Why do you think taxing your employer provided health insurance benefits as income is a good thing? <BR/><BR/>If you make less than $250,000 a year you will do better under the Obama plan then the McCain plan.<BR/><BR/>BTW I'm not voting for Obama. I don't like him. Not voting for McCain either.Abrahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12513079813372231906noreply@blogger.com
