Too bad they don't understand that it's the "rich" who keep America moving by providing jobs for the economy to grow. History has shown when you "tighten the belt of the rich", you only hurt the middle and lower classes because they are the ones in the unemployment lines.

What do you think?

This is so typical of the dems, they are playing to the entitlement crowd. Obama and Biden don't understand that what they are proposing will only make things worse because people who feel entitled they don't really appreciate what they have and tend to waste because they didn't work for it.

Ya, when i read about this, i was shocked at the openess of the Democratic party's socialist views.

They act like it's normal and patriotic.  No one is calling them on it. The media is all for it.

They openly call to block free speech with the fairness doctrine.

The have taken a majority share in the two largest home lending companies in the nation.

They now have a majority share of one of the largest investment firms in the US.

They just passed a bill that "allow more drilling" but actually just gets more taxes from oil companies.  Who already pay 50% in taxes.

Obama says things in his speeches about American shouldn't have to pick themselves up when they fall.

He talks about taking money from the people who work hard, and giving it to those that don't.

We turned into a communist nation, and we didn't even notice.

Yea! Who is John Galt anyway?

After what I've seen with government takeovers and rewarding mediocrity at best, this question needs to be asked and the answer found before it's too late.
