The perfect capitalist society would have all of us be slaves, but then there would be no markets; the perfect socialist society would have all of us with equal incomes, but then there would be no drive to excel and build additional wealth.
CdC is right about the tax credit for SS and medicare. However, Obamas tax plan, for the most part, is a big stimulus package that I'm sure the GOP will repeal as soon as they can.
Welcome to the mess...try not to get yourself banned!

associate Obama with un-American thinking?
The audio recording of Barack Obama espousing his socialist philosophy of “redistribution of wealth” is all over the Internet and Fox News today (although the other media outlets are ignoring it), but there’s another disturbing section on that tape that has so far escaped notice.
The link to the audio is here: Chicago Public Radio - Audio Library: Odyssey.

At about 15:30, Obama compares what was going on in the United States during the time of Brown vs. the Board of Education to ... Nazi Germany. Yes, really. Here’s the quote:
“...just to take a, sort of a realist perspective...there’s a lot of change going on outside of the Court, um, that, that judges essentially have to take judicial notice of. I mean you’ve got World War II, you’ve got uh, uh, uh, the doctrines of Nazism, that, that we are fighting against, that start looking uncomfortably similar to what we have going on, back here at home.”
There you have it. America is close to electing a President that compares his own country to Nazi Germany.
Liberals have become so crass, so ignorant of history, and so idealogically blinded that we can now call them "National Socialists" without them realizing that we just painted them as NAZIs.
We called Obama a socialist because he definitely is one. We've been countered with, "What's wrong with socialism?"
Now we can simply call them National Socialists. They don't even KNOW we've just called them NAZIs.
