Those were ridiculously loaded questions. It is obvious the reporter had an agenda.

"Barbara West is married to Republican strategist Wade West.[6] Wade West is "a popular consultant for political candidates ranging from local elections, to more than 85 members of Congress and members of the President�s cabinet."[7] In addition, West has made multiple campaign contributions to the Republican Party.[8]" |

That news reporter makes a fuckin great example of why everyone outside America takes the piss out of Americans! I think Biden handled those stupid questions pretty well and hopefully made that news channel look stupid in the process.
How could tax breaks ever be described as "Marxist"?! Does anyone with a brain and a tiny bit of understanding actually think Marx would favour lowering taxes?! His whole ideology would effectively create 100% income tax!
And what's wrong with Sweden?! The Scandinavian model is pretty much been proven to be the most effective economic model in the world as far as living conditions and wealth of the population go. What planet was that idiot news reporter on?! It's also nothing like a Marxist society!

The marxist comments, and implications that main stream media is left leaning make me laugh my ass off.

Forgive me George, perhaps I just haven't spent as much of my life living in a classroom as you. Explain Marxism to me a bit as you've learned it in your many years of higher learning. What did Marx say that would imply 100% effective income tax rate? Isn't that an extremist viewpoint if even a legitimate viewpoint at all? Furthermore, doesn't the entire concept of a "tax break imply that 1) the wealth originally belongs to the government to distribute/redistribute as they see fit, 2) reek of class warfare? I view taxes as a liability, not something I get some "break" from because of my oh so benevolent government.
| quote: |
| 10 Planks of the Communist Manifesto 1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes. 2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax. 3. Abolition of all right of inheritance. 4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels. 5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly. 6. Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State. 7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State; the bringing into cultivation of waste-lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan. 8. Equal liability of all to labour. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture. 9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equable distribution of the population over the country. 10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labour in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, &c., &c.[5] According to the Communist Manifesto, all these were prior conditions for a transition from capitalism to communism (but Marx and Engels later expressed a desire to modernize this passage[6]). |

Nobody has said we're halfway to a Marxist style society yet (that I'm aware of), people are suggesting Marxist leanings which are illustrated by comments like "spreading the wealth" and the audio at the top of this thread. Laughing won't make all of us ig'nant folk go away. |

Most of that paranoia was aimed at Russia, and now Communism is something vilified in America even tho people don't understand it. Same's happening with Islam (Hussain Obama anyone?). Socialism mean many things, one is Marxism, but another is what is practised all over the world through individual policies like free health care systems, free eduction systems, etc. None of that is evil and only increases the standard of living. Anyone opposed to raising the standard of living for the less well off, those who do not have the same opportunities as those born into money, should be fucking ashamed of themselves... |

Her husband probably got those questions directly from the Mccain campaign. And anyway, it's not like the Obama is denying the station several more hard hitting interviews. There was only ONE more interview scheduled, with Joe Biden's wife. And after he was practically accused of being a marxist and supportive of vote fraud, no wonder he doesn't want his wife subjected to that nonsense. |
the most fundamental part of marx's socialism was the transfer of ownership and control of the 'means of production' to the workers that worked it. im sure we'll all agree that this isn't a likely outcome in the US

| Originally posted by George Smiley Obama's policies lean towards socialism in the most general of senses of the term. It is not Marxist. The only reason people are saying "Marxism" is petty opportunism and shows how immature America is as a political entity. OOOooOOOOOO Communism! Scary bastards! You're a Communist! It's like when kids at school say to each other "you're gay". As petty as politics can get in Europe, calling someone a socialist as an insult in order to alter people's perceptions would be greeted with "erm, I am a socialist, what's your point?". If they are Marxist they will say so and people will vote for them.
