Wow... if this isn't socialism I don't know what is? Taking from the rich to give to the poor.... or "redistribution of wealth" is what socialist countries do.

Da, yes, he is buying votes in every manner that he can. He will say anything, do anything to get elected along with his co-conspirators of Dean, Axelrod and Brazil. The scariest thing here is that our founding fathers never meant to have one party in control of the House, Senate and Executive. Constitutional design was for a balance and protection of the ordinary man. More government which is what the Dems are about is contrary to the Constitution. The Constitution does not call for socialism. Less government is better government. Ever seen the jokes "we are from the government and here to help?" That translates into help themselves into our pockets and that is how BHO is buying his votes. NOBAMA pleeeeeeease!

It's not exactly 'welfare'. What it exactly is is VOTE BUYING! But then isn't that what Communists do for a living? Not to worry, soon there will be only one name on the ballot, and only one party in the country, which will make it all OK, Right? Then the question will become "How many wheel barrows full of 100 dollar bills will it take to buy a loaf of bread?

Actually Mr Obama is a strong facist in his policies not socialist.

Comments on this article by SDindependent are noticeably absent. Because "tax cuts" for those who pay no taxes is plain and simply -pandering-. A socialist redistribution of income. ... noticeably also silent on Obama's association with Ayres and Dohrn. ... and his radical embrace of abortion at any cost.

Watch this video and see what happened to our economy, it's factual and eye opening" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RZVw3no2A4&feature=iv&annotation_id=event_597487

Buzzog is exactly right. Obama's Robin Hood plan of stealing from the rich to give to the poor is a vote-buying scheme, plain and simple. Of the 96 million Americans who would receive this free money, who wouldn't vote for him? That McKain hasn't pointed this out, and let's him get away with it, is mind boggling.

Perhaps it is no coincidence that the racist, false church to which Obama belonged for 20 years posted on its website not only the references to Black Liberation Theology now widely known, but also, listed among its "Black Value System and Black Ethics" was the following point: "8. Disavowal of the Pursuit of Middleclassness" When I consider that a significant number of blacks have been historically far too dependent upon welfare, I see these proposed "tax cuts" as nothing more than a return to government/public dependency, victimhood and the impoverishment of our nation and our values by the blatant Communism espoused by Obama. It is also, of course, the perfect way of ensuring that those dependent upon such "tax refunds" will always vote for the government and political party handing them out.

There is also a huge marriage tax here. I f a husband and wife make as little as 125K per year they will get hit with this tax so a single mom can get a check in the mail. INSANE!!!!!

Both CNN and Fox News investigators have determined that Obama and ACORN are directly responsible for the mortgage crisis and resulting global economic crisis. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0g0mtZyZB4

SOCIALISM Everytime the heat gets too intense with hardball questions about his past associates they cry rascist. Character and judgment is the byproduct of your upbringing and life's experiences. Need one say more? Wright, Pflegger, Ayers, Rescoe, Acorn involvement....wonderful resume of thugs in sheep clothings. Ask youself who are the people/countries that will be dancing in the streets if he is elected. Scary. Obama followers are filled with such hate that it clouds their judgment. If you were an employer who would you hire? One with ground level experience or one with no experience? Who would you entrust the security of this country? Obama or McCain. Without the umbrella of freedom..free of terror we have nothing. Freedom first and foremost. Obama is not the man!

Question of the day

White House officials and Senate Democrats met in private three times last week to craft health care legislation. Do you think these discussions should be more public?
