1. If the corporations don't own a thing, their political shills will loudly call it "Socialism".
Poor, poor corporations.

9. Everything elites/corporations have comes from the commonwealth -
and that's where the "redistribution" of wealth begins --

from property doled out to them -- from exploitation of our natural resources,

animal-life -- and even of other human beings!


Welfare for the rich --

Free enterprise for the poor --

2. They are trying to knock down the concept of socialism any way they can.
They know (or at least should know) that Obama is no socialist. So when they label him a socialist, they are really attacking the idea of socialism in the public's mind more than they are attacking Obama himself. They couldn't possibly hold the opionion that repairing bridges and highways is somehow a bad thing to do. Again they are attacking the idea of socialism instead of attacking the idea of repairing bridges and highways. They are deathly afraid of socialism and they want to make everyone deathly afraid of socialism, so they bring it up as often as they can.

7. YEP; the MILITARY IS SOCIALISM. STILL, it is ridiculous the way the CONS try to make it a BAD thing.
What has made our country GREAT is a BLEND of SOCIALISM AND CAPITALISM.

4. Subsidies to oil companies, factory farms, and wall street banksters is also socialism.
