George W. Bush: America's SOCIALIST President. When a reich winger says something about
Barack Obama being a socialist, just remind them that George W. Bush presided over the greatest government welfare package ever distributed to the private sector--the Financial Industry Failure Reward.

This package includes hundreds of billions of dollars worth of welfare given to the Corporate Financial Welfare Queens on Wall Street with less accountability than is required for those Americans unfortunate enough to need unemployment insurance or food stamps.

1. One of the larger areas of American ignorance is the distinction between
socialism and fascism.
There was a socialist candidate for President (name ?) who was interviewed and asked if Obama was a socialist. "No" was his response (and shouldn't he know?).
Bush & co. were pushing us toward fascism (increasing state power over the individual for the sake of private capital).

3. The GOP policy is to hoard wealth in the hands of a small group of rich cronies.
THAT is called FASCISM.
