Democrat Barack Obama on Wednesday brushed aside Republican charges that his tax plan amounts to socialism, but he acknowledged it involves "spreading around opportunity" so that wealthier Americans — like himself — pay a little more to help lower-rung workers.
The core of Obama's plan would reverse tax cuts for Americans at the high end of the income scale that were passed during the Bush era. He noted that when those Bush-backed cuts were first proposed, his opponent for the White House, Republican John McCain, opposed them as irresponsibly targeted.
So, now "opportunity" is interchangeable with "wealth".
What Barack Obama is saying is that he doesn't like being called a socialist but, in fact, he is a socialist.
Redistribution of wealth and make no mistake that is what Barack Obama is saying here is a key tenant of socialism. He's going to take from those who have and give to those who don't; less the government's substantial cut. Here's some news for Barack, I can spend my money much better than he can and I can give it to those who need much more efficiently than he can.
When will people wake up and listen to what he is saying? Oh, wait, maybe they have. Maybe those who are voting for him, see riches ahead or at least enough to keep them supplied with beer, weed and smokes for a long while.
