Quote from dtan1e:
Obama is not a Statist, he just have an empty head, a marketing person not a manager, doesn't know a single thing which all the special interest groups are just to happy to have him there while they plunder and run round and round him and he applauds

Obama is a Statist... how far will he get with this goal of "fundamentally transforming America"?
Quote from Scataphagos:
(Hitler, Stalin, Mao... all presumably would have been more dangerous, of course [you know, between them they murdered HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF THEIR OWN CITIZENS... Obama is not that... at least not yet(?)]... we can't rule such things out, you know...

Quote from zdreg:
"... Obama believes in a command economy but he will never call it communism or socialism since these words are anathema to the american people. the private sector in his mind exists to support government workers and to follow government policy. that is why he is destroying the small banks with his policies. with a few large banks he can regulate them like utilities and order them how to act on his behalf.
true, but from some of the stories i have heard there were many ways to reduce your overall earnings, hence making actual rates inline more with today's top income rates. so the pure 75% figure is somewhat misleading...Quote from gurucandidate:
In the late sixties early seventies the maximum incremental personal federal tax rate was up to >>>>>>>75%. Not a misprint.
