Socialism by another name is ...
An Editorial March 03, 2009
The Obama administration is in talks to take over one or more of our nation's largest banks, federalizing the financial system for the first time in our nation's history. We are being told this is not socialism.
The Obama administration has just announced $634 billion for government health care programs. We are being told this is not socialism.
The Obama administration is raising taxes on those whom he thinks are too successful in order to give the money to those who are not so successful. We are being told this is not socialism.
The Obama administration is using the federal government to provide mortgages to those the government chooses, but is reducing mortgage interest deductions for those the administration doesn't favor. We are told this is not socialism.
The Obama administration plans to increase taxes on charitable donations so the government will be able to direct those funds and not the people who earned the money.
We are being told this is not socialism.
If this is not socialism, what is it?
