I don’t know if is the blond hair dye, or being a journwhorelist, however watch as Joe Wurzelbacher explains what socialism is to Diane Sawer, video:
Hat tip and moreL Lori Byrd, Wizbang.
For all BO, and for that matter McCain, rails against greed, BO’s tax the rich scheme is pure greed, more government hand-outs that the other guy pays for it. It is hypocritcal to want more government beneifits, but demand that somebody else pay for them. Then that is the basis of the democrat party, pure greed.

All I have to point to is history, our economy and how its done with rich tax cuts vs poor and middle tax cuts.
All I have to do is point to the wage gap, the trade deficit, debt and taxes such as payroll, sales, gasoline and social security’s debacle to finance tax cuts for the rich.
This country, nor any one that has existed for that matter, has done well economically when trickle down economics are imposed.
Socialism this, socialism that. I dont recall seeing anywhere in the constitution the idea of aristocracy.
Simply, we can implement 3 factors: taxes, the wage gap and debt directly to the numbers leading up to and during the great depression. Not only will you see similiarities in numbers, but outcomes as well.
So we can relegate ourselves to the age old argument of community; the idea that those well off wouldnt be so well off without society to begin with, which I’m more than willing to have.
But I think the numbers and correlation to other times in history, especially with the current situation this nation faces in mind, will suffice in defeating your position.

And of course, you have Marx on your side: “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need’. Funny thing; you never mentioned it.
Tax cuts for the rich? Let’s break this down to a level you’ll understand. Call me when you get a job from someone who doesn’t have more money than you do.

Hebert Hoover did not invent the depression. Economies have long taken downward movements What made the Great Depression great was Roosevelt’s long string of cures. The only thing that got Roosevelt out of the depression was World War Two.

Since the Obama camp is making fun of Joe the Plumber and have worked hard to find dirt about him maybe it is time that the McCain camp find dirt on Shepard the Artist. Obama hand picked Shepard Fairey as his official campaign artist and has openly praised Shepard’s illegal activity and career. A career that has been built on violating the legal rights of other artists and visual rhetoric that promotes violence on the streets.
Why on earth did Obama make him his official campaign artist? Obama actually sent Shepard a letter praising his career and his illegal activity, like putting Obama stickers on stop signs! So does that mean that Obama supports illegal activity that cost tax payers billions per year in city clean up? Why is the media not pointing this out? Obama refuses donations from Rezko but accepts $400,000 in donations from Obama merchandise from this thug?
Shepard Fairey has made images of the White House burning in the past and images that depict President Bush being taken down. How is that not negative for this country? Better question, why does Obama praise Shepard’s career when it is been based on attacking this country and the government with visual rhetoric that is overly violent? Because he is a socialist. That is why. That is why Shepard keeps saying his work is more “positive†now. Bullocks!
Shepard Fairey’s original HOPE image of Obama is not ‘original’. It is based off of a poster that another artist made of Che in the 60s. Shepard Fairey is a copyright violator and petty criminal. Look up Rene Mederos and the work that Shepard stole from him. He does not give anyone credit unless he is caught, or “busted” as he puts it. The only copyright Shepard Fairey acknowledges is his own.
Obama has said great things about the arts and how he will fund art education and programs, but at what cost? His actions by hand picking Shepard Fairey to reperesent his campaign visually proves that he does not care about the rights of artists. Either that or he is too lazy to do a simple search for ’Shepard Fairey’ online in order to find out who exactly this art thief and criminal is. The fact that Obama does not answer his artist supporters about his thoughts on the oprhan works bill also shows that he does not care about the rights of artists. He cares about art, but not about the rights of those who create it! That is socialism my friends!
