When you rob Peter (the "rich") to provide services to Peter and Paul (the "poor and working poor"), that is appropriate within the parameters of what Peter and Paul really need from government (national defense, infrastructure, etc.). When you rob Peter to give the money to Paul, that is indeed socialism. When you increase the marginal tax rates of Peter and turn around and give that money to Paul in the form of tax credits that is socialism. Don't tell me that his plan involves giving part of Paul's FICA and Medicare tax back because that is not what is happening. If you tell me that Obama proposes to reduce the benefits of Paul under Social Security or Medicare then I will accept the premise but that is not the case.

This is not difficult to understand, it is redistribution of wealth, it is socialism and it is giving our money to people that do not deserve it. Until Obama says he is reducing the future obligations of social security and medicare this is another example of Obama lying and getting away with it because the mainstream media is negligent.
