We've had progressive income tax in this country for the last 95 years. By the logic people are trying to apply to Obama, that means every President for the past 95 years was a socialist.
By the same measure, John McCain is a socialist, because he's not calling for a flat tax or an abolition of income taxes altogether, he just wants to keep the 35% top rate instead of raising it to 39.6%.
Apparently, in this country, you can go from being a capitalist to a socialist with just 4.6 cents on the dollar.
Gimme a fucking break.

Most people using those words don't know what they mean. Socialist, communist, Marxist, etc. They are just repeating what they are told to think.
It shouldn't be a surprise though as many of these people are the ones that haven't opened a biology book to realize the Earth is older than 6,000 years and we have this thing called evolution.
