Is Obama a Communist or Socialist?

Obama thinks that 'redistributing the wealth' will change the world. Unfortunately he is either just naive or worse yet, more corrupt that the current administration. I would like to think he is naive but that is difficult based on this guys past associations (ala Resco.) So if Obama gets in, you can bet your bippy that we are going to get a royal screwing.

While I make less than the threshold that Obama says will get tax increases, companies are going to go offshore to produce, sell the goods to the US at inflated rates, make and claim a very small profit in the US and reap the big profits in the manufacturing company. We get screwed again and there is nothing that can be done to stop it except voting for McCain.

I would like to have a "re-do" on the primary more than anyone but that is not going to happen. I truely believe that voting for McCain is the least of the two evils.

I'm very confused by your thread. Are you saying that communism (the sharing of the bounty of the earth according to the needs of the people) is a good thing, but trying to get there is a waste of time? That appears to be a most cynical approach to the matter. That would have been like slaves saying to themselves, we can never be free, so let's work with the slaveholders that can get us a great deal.

Rest assured, Obama is neither a socialist or a communist. He has taken money from Wall Street and his plans are limited to working with the system as it is. Any "redistribution of wealth" will mean that you and I will get some crumbs to avoid a lynch mob, while the mobsters on Wall Street will eat their cake and have it too.

In November, we get to vote for our slaveholders of choice.
