Obama care

What is very funny to me is the dunce Republicans calling Obama a socialist, when it was they who bailed the banks out of their fuckups. A real free market conservative, say Ron Paul or Gary Johnson, would've let them go bust, but no, the socialist that George Bush is, wanted to stick the Big Government oar in and save the day. What a left wing crook. Joe McCarthy would demanded he was hanged for his obvious communism.

On another note, the is not any socialst countries in Europe. Sweden, Norway and Denmark are Social Democracies, which are the middle ground of socialism and market economy, something Gorbachev aspired too after the fall of communism, but they god a oligarchy instead. And America is a fucking long way from that too. So, you have no need to get your rose tinted specs in a twist, you're safe from the spectre of socialism.

But here is some food for thought, compare the US to the highest tax nation, Denmark.
