Am I missing something, or did nobody yet post this gem?
I start reading the comments and realize how completely and insanely crazy the Right Wing Koolaid drinkers are? To them, clearly, anything to the left of Fanatical Capitalism is somehow Socialism or on the slippery slope to Socialism. I'm a fan of free-market economies, but when Obama is considered anything but a free-market politician, then you know you've gone off the deep end.
Here's the transcript:
I grew up in a socialist country. And I have seen what that does to people. There is no hope, no freedom, no pride in achievement. The nation became poorer and poorer. And that's what I see happening here.
As a young boy I was fantasizing about one day going to America… Making a success of myself. The American Dream.
America's wealth comes from the efforts of people striving for success. Take away their incentive with badmouthing success and you take away the wealth that helps us take care of the needy. Yes, in socialism the rich will be poorer. But the poor will also be poorer. People will lose interest in really working hard and creating jobs. I think this is a very slippery slope. It seems like people don't learn from the past. That's why I'm voting Republican and putting this ad on television.
