Right guys, I appreciate the (somewhat) intelligent discussion, but can we make a separate topic for this Obama thing before this thread gets locked? xD

first i didnt claim he was a communist, i said he was a member of a communist party.

2nd how is increasing taxes on everybody, especially higher income earners not progressive. our tax structure before him was already a progressive system.

Obama is a statist. 

also government interfering/getting in bed with businesses, therefor influencing/dictating what they do has kinda been a major reaccuring theme in all communist regimes.

I'm not at all surprised by how my chart came out.

Another thing about Obama. What kind of Communist bails out banks? What kind of Communist allows corporate subsidies to grow to their current levels hmm? I can not believe that I am having this discussion. Why even acknowledge such foolishness? I must be tired.

not true at all he'd be lock step with them the whole way. in fact he'd probably admit to being a socialist because it wouldnt be so politically toxic over there as it is in the States.

furthermore, the only policies of his that couldnt be construed as communist or socialist, or just authoritarian in general can purely be atributed to him not getting an aportunity to change them whether it be from it being politically suicide or just gridlock in washington.

first i didnt claim he was a communist.

but to answer your question, a communist who wants control over said banks.

its essentially a more "capitalist" way of owning and controlling a business and its means of production.

is it really that hard to understand?

Edit: Off topic.

Obviously the test isn't perfect. I think I'm a lot more of a libertarian than the test gave me credit for :/
