How is Giving the Middleclass a Tax Break, Socialism?
I want Obama or Biden or any dem talking head in the MSM to ask their opponents that question. Watch the republican squirm....

See... Republicans represent the wealthy, for they have no problems with giving the already wealthy a tax break, but average "Joe" Americans can go to hell.

1. there is a redistribution of wealth to some degree
due to the fact that a lot of the tax credits being issued are refundable tax credits...meaning that if you already have no federal income tax liability you will still be able to get refunds on these...at least that is my understanding of where the word socialism comes in...

3. So, I guess they should be blaming Ronald Raygun for the expansion of Earned Income Tax Credits?
We should all now refer to Ronnie as the 'Great Socialist'!

7. perhaps so...
each party certainly has their penchant for moving money around...the simple question is "to whom and how much?"

2. And how is Giving the Have-more's Billions NOT Communism For the Rich?
Especially when they pass the bill to the Middle Class & Working Class Taxpayers (as the Have-more's Class pay less and less taxes...).

I'd love to just HEAR that (true) line...

4. Republicans flat out lie about taxes
I love it when people boo for "spreading the wealth around" while their the ones who could use some spreading. McCain must be laughing behind his teeth as he tallies how many MORE houses he'll be able to buy as he fools these ignorant people into thinking he's on their side.

6. Well, all taxes are "redistribution of wealth"
The government takes money and then distributes the money to where it's needed. So it is, but not more than taxes are already inherently socialist.
