What does Obama want? He wants to take most of the profits from the people at the top of the wage/investment profit scale and give it to everyone else. Socialist economics - take profits from capitalists, because they are evil and don't deserve their rewards. They earned those reward off the backs of the worker- isn't that the heart of socialism? Of course it is, and it is what Obama believes. What he totally fails to understand is that punitive taxes against the rich never work. They discourage investment (by the rich, who are the ones with the money to invest) and ultimately lead to economic malaise and falling standards of living for everyone. The Democratic leadership in Congress lately has been demonstrating its dislike of market economics, suggesting oil companies should be punished with punitive taxes for being profitable (one of Obama's favorite plans), all the while moaning about how their isn't enough oil to go around. The oil companies are going to need those profits to explore for more oil, but that never seems to occur to people who don't have a solid grasp of basic economics. You can whine and moan all you want about right-wing nuts, but that doesn't changes the facts- Obama is a socialist. Not a hard, old school planned economics kind of socialist, but a socialist nonetheless.
