It's not socialism, but "country club socialism"
Edited on Thu Oct-23-08 09:49 AM by ck4829
They get bailouts, we don't get bailouts, we get "pull yourself up by your bootstraps!"

They reap the rewards of trickle down economics, we don't reap those rewards, we get nothing.

The oil companies get subsidies, and make record profits, and we get high gas prices as our reward for us subsidizing them.

They get golden parachutes, we don't get golden parachutes, we get "Haha! See ya later, suckers!"

We pay for the health care of McCain and Cheney, and how do they repay us? By opposing that same health care they receive for us.

McCain attacks Obama and calls him a socialist. But, McCain is a Country Club Socialist, we pay for him and his friends, but they don't want us to have the same benefits.
