So if Socialism is a utopian idea... why is Obama's name being equated with socialism? Not challenging you here seriously, you seem to know what you are talking about, and I would like your opinion.
I can't give a perfect example but Obama can:
Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek
If the people cannot trust their government to do the job for which it exists - to protect them and to promote their common welfare - all else is lost.
People of Berlin - people of the world - this is our moment. This is our time.
This is the moment when we must build on the wealth that open markets have created, and share its benefits more equitably. Trade has been a cornerstone of our growth and global development. But we will not be able to sustain this growth if it favors the few, and not the many.
This is the moment when we must come together to save this planet. Let us resolve that we will not leave our children a world where the oceans rise and famine spreads and terrible storms devastate our lands.
There are plenty more though. He embraces many forms and ideas to give the people the hope of "opportunity"
yes 95% of the economy in INCOME taxes while ONLY 68% PAY TAXES. hmmm...great number obama, try again.
If you studied Obamas plan, the 27% willl actually receive a check on top of their $0 taxes.. no wonder he'll win the election, he's openly buying them using OPM.
Obama is a good speaker but messed up on the 'Spread The Wealth".
From each according to his ability, to each according to his need (or needs) is a slogan popularized by Karl Marx in his 1875 Critique of the Gotha Program. The phrase summarizes the principles that, under a communist system, every person should contribute to society to the best of their ability and consume from society in proportion to their needs, regardless of how much they have contributed. In the Marxist view, such an arrangement will be made possible by the abundance of goods and services that a developed communist society will produce; the idea is that there will be enough to satisfy everyone's needs.
