Barack Obama isn't a Socialist?
We have only 3 days to vote for who we believe would make the best President of the United States Of America, everyone is talking about Obamas "Spread the wealth" comment. this brings up the question "is Obama a socialist"? Many Obama supporters say "NO!!" But I think we need to ask "what is a socialist?" Google's definition of socialism is this "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." Ok and a socialist would be someone who supports this form of government, right? Lets look at some of Obamas ideas, 1.Free Health care provided by the government, 2.Provide affordable housing (because that worked out SO well last time), 3.Taxing the rich more and giving the money to people who really need it. These are ALL socialist ideas, but understand that I'm not saying socialism is "BAD" (in this blog), I'm just saying that the ideas Obama has ARE socialist ideas. He wants bigger government and that (in most cases) fits the definition of socialism. So you Obama supporters out there don't make the argument that Obama is not a socialist, but you can make the argument that socialism isn't ALL bad.
