i have called him a socialist....you clearly do not understand communism, socialism or marxism....or the basic tenet of them....because that is what obama is saying...how can you not see it? oh yeah that's right you are not an american...you get your info from whatever internet site you choose....you were not taught about our country in school, like we were...you wouldn't be as laughable if you were an american...well then maybe again you would be...

that you do not have to be communist to be in favor of progressive tax rates.-Calling people communist because they favor taxing the rich more heavily is akin to calling somebody a nazi because they favor highways.
