Obama''s "re-distribution of wealth" ties right in to Ayers belief that capitalism is evil, and it is time for "social justice". According to a CNN piece by Drew Griffin, "in April of 2008, Ayers published a blogposting in which he ranted against capitalism, describing it as a tool for oppression, thuggery and slavery. "

In beliefs, Obama and Ayers are siamese twins. In fact, all of Obama''s long term friends and mentors have the common thread of a low opinion of the United States, and radical views of how to change her. "Buying stock" in our private banks and financial institutions is the beginning of " nationalization" of business.

Is this the America we want?

Sarah, Sarah, Sarah...how can your assessments matter to us when we don''t know you? Sen. McCain adopted you as entertainment, as a ''cheerleader'' and that''s how America thinks of you. We do appreciate your SNL comedy, etc.

Palin clearly doesn''t have a clue what the word "socialism" even means. Here you go, Sarah--
Socialism, according to Answers.com, means--

"Any of various theories or systems of social organization in which the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy."

What graduated tax rates have to do with that is certainly a mystery to me. Ironically, in a socialist system Joe the plumber would already be part owner in the business he currently works for.

So Palin is confused again. What else is new? I think we''ve passed the point where it''s even newsworthy when she, once again, makes her ignorance apparent.

It seems to me the ''experiment'' with socialism has already begun. And, as with most experiments with socialism, it began with a highway robbery by the people who were supposed to be looking after our money.

Socialism is ALWAYS made necessary by capitalism. One either remembers this, or forgets it and gets robbed again: seems to happen every 20 years or so.

Bush-McCain economics
the dollar is now worth half what it was when they took over, 8 years ago.
That''s a reflection of the destruction of the USA economy done by Gramm, McCain, McConnell, and Bush. Team GOP. Flunked economics.

Socialism = Nationalizing the banks.

Socialism = McCain''s plan to give $300 billion more to the banks.

Palin doesnt even know how to use the state of Alaska backup email system, no less understand economics. Oh yes, I remember now, she deleted all the emails she doesnt want you to see.

The right-wing BS about socialism is so weird, and so wrong. The tax increase to those making over $250,000 would only bring an increase of a couple of percent, back to where it was under Reagan and Clinton. People who do not work don''t file a tax return and would get no refund. The increase is fair. The rich should pay their fair share, and the middle-class need a break in this brutal economy. This is not socialism, this is fair. Would Warren Buffet and Colin Powell support a socialistic candidate? Of course not.

What is socialistic is the Bush/Republican bailout of the banks. Don''t believe the right-wing liars.

HERE IS EXACTLY WHAT WE CAN EXPECT FROM A SOCIALIST PRESIDENT, BARACK OBAMA:

With Barack Obama as president, all the wealth in America will be redistributed to those who refuse to work for it.

This, in turn, will destroy America''''s productivity - which will mean that there will be less wealth to "spread around".

Therefore, Barack Obama will find it necessary to increase taxes on those who work. This, again, will destroy America''''s productivity.

Business of all sizes will close, more and more people will be out of work, and looking for support from the government.

This will mean a severe shortfall in tax revenue for the Socialist programs that Liberals hold dear.

And again, Barack Obama will raise your taxes. This will make even the wealthiest working Americans destitute and starving.

Then America will be simply overtaken by it''''s enemies.

Sounds good to you?

Go ahead and vote for Obama.

Well, that''s just too damned bad, OneAmerican7. If living in the US is going to be that difficult for you under an Obama presidency, I suggest you pack your bags and leave. Better yet, go back to the planet you came from.....Uranus, wasn''t it?

Any way you slice it this country and the world economy for that matter is on very shaky ground.
Great new book out by Jeff Wilson called The Manhattan Project of 2009. They all need to read it!
