Answer 3

/ For instance...America has the best Doctors, Medicine, and Hospital facilities.

England has "socialized medicine", whereas the taxpayer's money pays for doctors, medicine and hospital care, and the people go to the place the government decides they will go, for medical care.

The person who set up England's socialized medicine just discovered she has breast cancer, and flew to America for medical attention.

When a program is socialized, the quality is diminished, but the cost per person is shared by all.

Obama wants to socialize America regarding healthcare, higher education (giving students $10,000 rebates), jobs, and gas.

Obama wants to raise taxes, and pay for all of these programs through higher taxes (how else can he make so many promises of giving money rebates to different groups?

He set a low amount for people to be called, "The Rich" and it would be accurate if he wins the election.

Young people who don't have much money (because they are just starting out) like socialism and it make a lot of sense to them, but when they start making money and become part of the middle class, then it makes no sense to continue believing in socialism, but most of them stay a Democrat voting for a liberal socialistic government.

Answer 4

Socialists believe that the means of production should be owned collectively or by the government. There is no reason to believe Obama is a socialist. Uneducated conservatives who probably don't even know the real definition of the word are the only ones who think he's a socialist.

Anybody that wouldn't want a child to die from lack of insurance
