When Obama talks about economic issues he sounds like a simple minded Marxist and as for you, you've posted this:

This is really good. An animated explanation of a Marxist approach to the economic problems. DAK found it youtube.com http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=28885242 Ergo, you are both Marxists.

Sarah Palin would win Senate nomination: poll The Lower 48 may not have seen the last of Sarah Palin. The controversial ex-Alaska governor and former Republican vice presidential candidate is her party’s top choice in the upcoming race for the U.S. Senate, according to a new Harper Polling survey. The poll found that, among likely Republican primary voters in the state, Mrs. Palin would take 32 percent of the vote. Lt. Gov. Mead Treadwell is right on her heels with 30 percent, while former Senate candidate and tea party favorite Joe Miller comes in third with 24 percent the vote. But 14 percent of the Republican primary electorate remains undecided, the poll says, meaning the contest could turn out dramatically different than the Harper survey now suggests. Mrs. Palin’s favorability rating also is the highest of the three potential candidates. More than 60 percent of Alaska Republicans have a favorable opinion of her, while 30 percent harbor unfavorable feelings toward her. Mr. Miller and Mr. Treadwell have favorability ratings of 49 percent and 54 percent, respectively. The winner of next year’s Republican primary will square off in November 2014 against first-term Democratic Sen. Mark Begich, who replaced the late Sen. Ted Stevens. Mr. Begich is considered a top target by GOP strategists in the midterm elections. Read more: washingtontimes.com

Communism an idea ahead of its time:

I don't even think billionaires is even a good thing for society. Wages are what 99% of people rely on. I am sure you would agree. Everyone needs to get educated to the degree of their ability. I have also been thinking a lot about the future and communism may have just been an idea ahead of its time. People like Plato could have gotten the idea and made it work. We must have statis of some sort on the planet to survive. Sure we will probably need some income differential, but it cannot be billions or even 10's of millions. I think we need to go back to the 90% tax like in the 50's. To survive we will need a much more socialistic society/planet with much less differential in income and worth. But I know that concept is light years ahead of what people are willing to consider a this point. It may take a great dying e.g. from global warming to wise people up.

Yep, that's a Marxist.
