What does socialism fully entitle?

Are taxes not a redistribution of wealth?

Have Americans just started paying taxes?

Was Clinton and Roosevelt socialist too?

I never knew that taxing a different tax bracket was "Socialism". I guess you learn something new every day!

Obama he is a bit confusing because he bounces back and forth between facism and socialism.

He has much the same type views as an early Adolf Hitler as read in Mien Kampf , and yet is very Marxist and demonstrates some Stalinist tendencies as well.

His comment was taken out of context. He was referring to taxing higher income Americans. Period. He was not talking about the government having central control of all facets of economic production.

Taxation IS a form of wealth redistribution. It takes money (taxes) from people and REDISTRIBUTES it (roads, military expenditures), etc.

If anyone is a socialist it's Sarah Palin and her checks from the Oil Companies to the people of Alaska.
I suggest you look up the definition of socialism.

Anyone who has really studied it can properly spell the title of Hitler's book.
