If so, why?
If not, why not?Are you bothered by the idea of changing America to a socialist country?Just another false claim to raise hate and fear, like the whole baby killer tirade. I sometimes wonder who has a brain left in their head.Are you bothered by the idea of changing America to a socialist country?No, because that is a false claim made only by the McCain campaign and its supporters.
Was Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan socialist? No. And yet the tax rate will be at those rates when they were in office.Are you bothered by the idea of changing America to a socialist country?McCain consistently votes against our military and Veterans. He holds the second worst rating in congress for support of our troops and Vets.

We have had a progressive tax since 1916. Obama wants to return to the same rates of Clinton All Obama wants to do is stop the Bush tax cuts to the rich. McCain ALSO wanted to do so....until he decided to abandon his conscience and run for President. John McCain 2001: %26quot;I cannot in good conscience support the Bush tax cut in which so many of the benefits go to the most fortunate among us, at the expense of middle class Americans who most need tax relief.%26quot;
John McCain%26#039;s 2000 Campaign Rally: Audience member: %26quot;Why is it that someone like my father who goes to school for 13 years gets penalized in a huge tax bracket because he%26#039;s a doctor.%26quot;McCain: %26quot;I think it%26#039;s to some degree because we feel obviously that wealthy people can afford more.%26quot;
Audience member: %26quot;Are we getting closer and closer to, like, socialism?%26quot;
McCain: %26quot;Here%26#039;s what I really believe: That when you reach a certain level of comfort, there%26#039;s nothing wrong with paying somewhat more.%26quot;
The FACT is, we pay 5 times more for corporate welfare than we do for social welfare in this country. BOTH parties are offering some form of %26#039;socialism%26#039;.....either you vote for the party that is offering social welfare and help to the middle class, or you vote for the party who is offering corporate welfare and help to the upper class. Under John McCain%26#039;s plan AND under the past 8 years of Bush, 67% of CORPORATIONS DO NOT PAY TAXES. How is that NOT socialism? http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/i…Are you bothered by the idea of changing America to a socialist country?I%26#039;m not bothered because we already are partly socialist.Are you bothered by the idea of changing America to a socialist country?Who%26#039;s going to turn into a socialist country? I smell bullshit.Are you bothered by the idea of changing America to a socialist country?yes and i know this is slowly happening.Are you bothered by the idea of changing America to a socialist country?Sure am!
It is the end of every great civilization.
Intelligent Dems for McCain!Are you bothered by the idea of changing America to a socialist country?I don%26#039;t see much change there. We%26#039;ve already got a socialist post office, socialized medicine (Medicare and medicaid) socialized military, socialized education, socialized transportation, socialized retirement (Social security,) socialized businesses, and now..socialized banks.
Really, we%26#039;re already living in the USSA, and I kind of want a different direction. Neither Obama nor McCain are offering a different direction.Are you bothered by the idea of changing America to a socialist country?whats wrong with socialism, Canada and most of Western Europe are very socialist and they are seen as better countriesAre you bothered by the idea of changing America to a socialist country?No. America is already Socialist, Obama aint suggesting anything newAre you bothered by the idea of changing America to a socialist country?We%26#039;ve already got corporate socialism, where the rich get richer, the middle class gets screwed and has to pay for the greed of the wealthy and their bought politicians.
Wanting to give the middle class a break isn%26#039;t socialism, it%26#039;s justice!Are you bothered by the idea of changing America to a socialist country?You do not know what socialism is, if you did, you would not post this.
We have socialism in this country now, for needed services as most all countries have.
That is where socialism stops.
Obama is for a free market system, which is NOT socialism.

.Are you bothered by the idea of changing America to a socialist country?Google Karl Marx %26amp; answer your own question. Only an idiot would welcome socialism. People need to educate themselves and quit following the socialist media. An educated AND patriotic American could never vote for an American hater.Are you bothered by the idea of changing America to a socialist country?Yes - I%26#039;m really tired of the corporate welfare that the GOP is spreading.
Are you bothered by the idea of changing America to a socialist country?I%26#039;m bothered by it. It%26#039;s been trending socialist for years. The government has been getting more control and adding more rules for us. Barack Hussein would be the catalyst that would complete the transformation to the USSA.

Just look at Walter Reed VA Medical Center, to give you an idea of what socialized healthcare can do.Are you bothered by the idea of changing America to a socialist country?we r not going to become socialists... cause it%26#039;s impossible to do so... if only we didn%26#039;t run into this whole...not having money crisis... if only we didn%26#039;t spend all of our money in Iraq... then we%26#039;d have money for home...but we don%26#039;t... we have no money...darn... that sucks... don%26#039;t u know we were in a total dictatorship... our money went to the military... in order to kill iraqis.. then our money was given to the iraqis to build up their country...when did the oil money come to America... all that happened was gas prices went up, and so did the cost of living...
all of you forget... that we shouldn%26#039;t have gone in Iraq...i can say that because i%26#039;ve served my time in service... and i won%26#039;t ever forget what i saw... I fought for America... and I want the money for Americans... I%26#039;ve seen more people die, then u%26#039;ve seen in those damn ******* Saw movies... **** you guys... why don%26#039;t you go and fight....Are you bothered by the idea of changing America to a socialist country?Aaaaaaaaaaarrrrgh!!!! Palin spouts crap and you put it on toast and say thank you, how lovely. Why do you think an upheaval of your stupid health care system = socialism? Do you people not realised how buggered (yes I%26#039;m an Aussie) your country is in so many ways? Tryiing to make a better life for your constituents does NOT = socialism.Are you bothered by the idea of changing America to a socialist country?No, because nothing is going to change. We already have a progressive income tax. We have free public education, social security, medicare, medicaid, earned income tax credit, etc. We%26#039;ve had these things for decades.
Add to this a socialized financial industry. And let%26#039;s not forget the Chrysler bailout.
How is lowering taxes on the middle class and repealing the bush tax credits for the rich socialism?
Seriously. How are we a newly socialist nation if Obama wins. I%26#039;d be very interested in an answer if you have one.Are you bothered by the idea of changing America to a socialist country?just give USA back to Great Britain if you hated freedom. =)) Are you bothered by the idea of changing America to a socialist country?If people were so worried about this country becoming socialist then they would really rethink their choice for President before its too late.Are you bothered by the idea of changing America to a socialist country?No. Because we%26#039;ve seen capitalism only benefits the rich and wealthy. Unfortunately, when Obama becomes President, I think we%26#039;ll still be a capitalistic country. That%26#039;s America.Are you bothered by the idea of changing America to a socialist country?Why do you call better government, effective government as socialist. What in the hell do you call what we have just been forced to do with giving Wall Street 1 trillion dollars and
Republicans held up the ticket TO TACK ON 185 BILLION DOLLAR MORE!
The rich only got rich off of the ppl. The government doesn%26#039;t OWN their companies BUT
THE GOVERNMENT (the ppl who made the rich, RICH) GAVE THEM 1 TRILLION DOLLARS................... The Republicans BROUGHT THAT TO US .................. SAID WE WOULD HAVE AN ECONOMIC CRISES IF WE DIDN%26#039;T.
WE DID.
IT STILL HAPPENED.
AIG THE ONE WHO GOT THE BULK OF IT WENT OUT %26amp; HAD 2 PARTIES. ONLY 1/2 MILLION DOLLARS IT COST.
WHAT DO YOU CALL THAT?
SO WE THE PPL WHO MADE THEM RICH SHOULD AND THEN GAVE THEM A WELFARE CHECK SHOULD NOT EXPECT THEM TO PAY A PERCENTAGE ................. JUST A PERCENTAGE OF THEIR RICHES
BUT WE HAVE TO GIVE THEM A PERCENTAGE OF OUR UNEMPLOYMENT.................. THAT IS WHAT WE ARE GOING TO BE DOING FOR YEARS TO COME.
BUT THIS IS SOCIALISM IF THEY PAY A PERCENTAGE.
GOOD GOD MAN WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS THINKING.Are you bothered by the idea of changing America to a socialist country?have any of the people who claim that obama is leading us toward socialism taken a look at the tax increase on those making above 250k? 3-5%, the only change to their tax rate will be that he allows the bush tax cuts to EXPIRE which means they will be allowed to return to their pre-bush rate. by the logic used to accuse him of socialism, we%26#039;d have to say that we%26#039;ve been a socialist society and had a few brief years without it and now obama is allowing a return
we have a progressive tax code and again, using the same logic, until we don%26#039;t, we are living in a socialist society now. people who make less than me pay taxes under a smaller bracket and i don%26#039;t care
so in answer to your question, no i%26#039;m not for that reason and the reason that it just wouldn%26#039;t fly even with the have-nots. those who wish to be taken care of and not work are far outnumbered by those of us who take pride in our accomplishments and want to make our own way.
Are you bothered by the idea of changing America to a socialist country?Paulson and Bush presented a huge socialist giveaway to Wall Street and the banks. Also there was Sarah Palin%26#039;s socialist giveaway in Alaska. Then there are the McBush socialist tax giveaways to the wealthy, oil companies and large corporations, and not to forget to companies who outsource jobs. I would like to see the wealth be distributed more fairly.Are you bothered by the idea of changing America to a socialist country?I%26#039;m for equality, freedom, liberty %26amp; Democracy.
I%26#039;m dead against Governments coming in our ways of living! We don%26#039;t want BIG BROTHERS always spying on punishing Free Citizens by the autocratic tyrant leaders who are at the helm by hook or crook or organized criminal ways.Are you bothered by the idea of changing America to a socialist country?Yes I am. We are Americans and America is based on freedoms, although it doesn%26#039;t always seem that way. We have so much freedom compared to other countries and many do not appreciate that. Take a trip to other countries that have dictatorships or practice genocide and you will see that for yourself.
Socialism does not belong in the USA.
