Socialist?

Seems to me that bailing out Wall Street companies and banks was as
socialist as it gets and this was the proposal advanced by President
Bush and then authorized by members of Congress from both sides of the
aisle.

The graduated income tax scale has been US law for a century now and the
commentary that includes the socialist label upon any particular faction
for adjusting the indexes of the graduated scale merely proves the point
that some people cannot help but get suckered into class warfare
advanced by the Republicans. The irony is that the people who beat this
drum are often those who are on the lower end of the wage scale and
mostly unaffected anyway.

It needs to be pointed out that America was far more prosperous as a
nation and the more specifically, the middle class enjoyed an expansion
of wealth during the 90's when Clinton was president and though there's
no proof that returning the taxation scales to that which existed before
the 'Bush Tax Cuts' were put into place, there is certainly enough
evidence that the malaise that has ensued from 8 years of Bush economics
has decimated the middle class, and now the general US economy to depths
that we haven't even begun to realize...yet.

Identity politics that labels Obama as a Socialist is proof that one has
absolutely no grasp of what is happening in this country at all and
simply cannot get beyond the spoon feeding being propagated by those who
value greed personal wealth and the politics of division...guess what?
You lost yesterday
