I remember back in the 1970's, when communications, travel, and banking were all regulated by the Feds. Nobody thought of it as socialism, and the industries so regulated were guaranteed a profit. In the post - Reagan era of deregulation, there has been a lot of wealth created, but very little of it has benefited the country as a whole. In fact one of the major effects of deregulation has been the wholesale destruction of the unions, and any upward pressure on wages. Say what you will about unions, but they are the only mechanism the little guy has, for increasing that paycheck. Without them, profits do not get reinvested in companies. Instead, CEOs in their blind quest to become ever richer, use them for stock buybacks, artificially boosting the company's equity and earning themselves fat bonuses, again. No one in the US is advocating socialism, nor are Obama and Clinton "lefties". The idea is laughable. Clinton's NAFTA deal and others were largely responsible for knocking down trade barriers, and sending millions of jobs overseas. I resent this idea started by the B actor Reagan that the Federal Government is too big and corrupt to get anything done, including the management of social programs. It is poisonous thinking, and very anti-social for the country as a whole. Like it or not, the government is ours and we own it. That puppet Reagan's stunted and dark thinking has become some sort of mantra for the Republicans seems to me astonishingly unpatriotic. Too often it is now used as an excuse for the rich to deny their obligation to help this country, vs. seeing it simply as another economic market for further plunder. So, now that we have an economy largely composed of massive multinational corporations, what is wrong with providing a safety net for those who for whatever reason, fall outside the needs of the corporate interests that govern us? This is not a cry for socialism, it is simply a fair thing to do, given the way our system works. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mdixon.6569@...> wrote : Raul Castro? Is this some kind of straw man argument? Your entire Democratic party is advocating socialism without using the word. Bernzie being the exception. They all want the same thing, total government control by taxation or regulation. Obama and Clinton are only centrists from a Bernzie Sander's point of view. You're not in favor of *handouts* but.... we don't hand out enough. Right! Quite frankly, it's cheaper to do business over seas than the US due to government regulation, taxation and union demands, more Democratic meddling. From: "olliesedwuz@...

As in similar in political outlook to say, Raul Castro of Cuba?? And who, exactly, in the US Government, has advocated, or worse, acted on, such an ideological vision? I am pretty confident I can wait here for days without a name from you, even down to the level of city dogcatcher, because *they don't exist*. Obama is a centrist, like Clinton was. The only difference is the color of his skin. His concern over the demise of social programs is well founded, when our previous President advocated the destruction of Social Security. "Put it all in the stock market", he and his cronies said, and he would have, but he had no mandate from Congress. A good thing, as we would have had millions in the street when the market crashed. I am not in favor of handouts, but the current Republican domestic philosophy, and tax policy, seems to be, "I got mine, screw you", justified on the basis of some waste and corruption wrt social services programs. A very cold-hearted way of thinking, and obviously biased when no such scrutiny is applied to say, military programs, or corporate welfare. The Republicans scream about losing American jobs, while advocating constantly for ways to ship jobs overseas. It is ironic that the only thing keeping our economy afloat are all the cheap products from China, the Far Left, Communist nation, on which our continued prosperity depends. Calling Obama "far left" is quite funny from that perspective, as it is the Republicans who are driving us further into China's hands. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <awoelflebater@...> wrote : ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mdixon.6569@...> wrote : Ollie, you make an awful lot of assumptions here. You assume that, because a person in congress opposes the policies of the *far left*, that they are racist and that they oppose those policies because the person implementing them has dark skin. How simple minded can you get? If you are white, I would have to believe that you are seriously suffering from *white guilt* and trying to absolve yourself by leveling such a charge.Next year, the excuses will be that we need a *woman* to lead the country and if elected and she faces any resistance, it will be because she's female in a patriarchal society. This is meant to appeal to the base instincts of the *low information* voter, an appeal to the emotions of the ignorant. Damn the fact that these very policies have driven poverty higher than ever, that black unemployment levels are the highest in decades, more people are on government assistance than ever. Damn the fact that our current president has more than doubled the national debt of all other presidents before him with nothing to show for it, that we owe much of that debt to China. That money generating businesses are leaving our country in droves. Damn the fact that he threw hard fought, won and costly victories back to our enemies that has embolden them, That our once stable allies don't trust the word of our leaders. That once dangerous terrorists that had been locked up have been returned to the battle field to continue killing again. Damn the fact that he opens our borders to whoever wants to come here, without due process, driving down wages for our own citizens, while subsidizing the substandard wages of the * illegal immigrants* with government social program hand outs that cost all other tax payers. Damn the fact that because of him, the people have put more Republicans in office than any time since the end of the civil war with nothing to show for it because they fear being labeled *racist* and give him just about anything he wants including another trillion dollar plus budget this year. Ollie, you have got to be kidding me! You are one of these low information voters that have drunk the Kool-aide. Of course, any one with a brain can figure out that the purpose of these policies is to bring about a complete collapse of the current social and economic system in place and replacing it with the purest form of socialism which will not redistribute wealth but redistribute poverty and suffering. Be careful of what you wish for. The *right* is armed and dangerous and will only tolerate so much of the left's shenanigans. This is exactly the mindset, the one that you voice here, that scares the bejeebers out of me, Mike. Add that to the fact that you claim those "on the right" are "armed and dangerous" isn't lessening this feeling I have. That's all America needs, is a bunch of Kool Aid drunk right wingers emerging from their villages with flaming torches, pitchforks and no teeth (thanks to unaffordable health and dental) and screaming for banishment of those seeking asylum in the US and to rid the country of "socialistic" programs. You live in a dreamworld, Mike. Not one thing you say here is, I believe, true but it sure gives me a glimpse into one mindset present day US residents have and it is fear driven.

Barack Obama is one of our better Presidents. I find it appalling that the many racists in the US Congress see fit to obstruct him, simply because of the color of his skin. Anyway, just for you old white racists, I would LOVE it if we had another black man (or a black woman for a change) for President, only this time, two black parents, and that beautiful dark, dark skin and full lips. I hope whomever it is, they give you a big bear hug, a wet kiss on the cheek, and knock that silly pillow case off your pointed little head.
