McPalin Highlight their Lack of Education - don't know that "Social" is first in 'Socialism"

McCain, # 894 out of 899 in his graduating class, has taken a number of shots at educators, calling them elite. This follows the example of GWB who for years dismissed the calls from the vast number of scientists who had been raising warnings about global climate change. Mr. McCain, you never paid attention to studies, but there are people who spend many years studying specific topics and are knowledgeable.

On Socialism. Merriam-Webster Dictionary gives the following definitions for socialism:

1: any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods
2 a
: a system of society or group living in which there is no private property b: a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state
3
: a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done

Mr. McCain, Obama has never advocated anything that falls into 1 or 2 above. Published reports indicate that even today, there is unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done, and in fact, women could receive up to 20% less than men for a similar job. This could be socialism, but it has nothing to do with Obama.
Any government, by definition, serves society and not any one particular individual. By this broad definition any government is socialistic. You keep harping about the need for more regulation of the financial industry. That is socialistic.
In simple terms, government collects taxes from the people. Once the money comes in, it goes into the governmnent's coffers where all the money is pooled. The government does not differentiate taxes received from one person from the dollars received from another. Money gets pooled, and this pooled money then gets spent. This is socialism. However, in the case of U.S. government, since the government (of GWB) has been borrowing money for spending, it is depending on foreign countries for its socialism.
WHen Obama wants to raise taxes for those making >X amount of money, it is raising revenues for the government. McCain, separate that from providing tax cuts to the middle class. A tax cut just means that government collects less money from people. It is NOT giving back money, it is taking less money. This is NOT socialism, and is NOT redistributing wealth. If Obama borrowed money and provided a check to everyone in the country that could be considered socialism. Isn't that what President GWB did a few months ago, with support from Congress? You plan to cut taxes for everyone. That is not socialism either, McCain.
If Obama collected money from one group and sent checks to another that is redistributing wealth. Since the government has been in debt for decades, and since YOUR president GWB has jacked up the deficits, there is NO government wealth to redistribute, McCain. Since the Bush tax cuts and deregulation have given us this mess (fiscal and moral deficits), Obama is looking at a solution that will help people just survive. Yes, you don't have a problem, what with 8 houses and a wife who spends $300K on one dress. Many of us have to deal with day-to-day survival.

One simple reason to vote against McPain and the Republicans: These Morons are Proud to be Ignorant, and say one thing and then do the opposite. McPain is the recipe for McSized deficits- fiscal, intellectual, and moral.
