[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe socialism in this context means taking my hard-earned money away from me (through taxes) and giving it to people who love to live off the dole. At least that's how my mother defines it. [/quote] Your mother is wrong. That's not socialism. That is welfare.[/quote] I understand that. But the OP wanted a definition of socialism from the people calling Obama a socialist ("those throwing the word socialist around") I provided how my mother defines it. She finds it to be synoymous to redistribution of wealth. I find this definition to be very common among those who hate Obama's economic policies. [/quote] By that definition, Reagan is a socialist. After all, he pioneered the use of the EITC to give money to the poor. But they aren't going to call him a socialist, are they?[/quote]
