The Buzz: By The People: The Election of Barack Obama Premiere (HBO)

[sunkist1976]

Call it Marxism, Socialism, spreading the wealth... what we're looking at here with this douchebag is a system of social redistribution of wealth and justice. That's great for Canada, England, and other countries in Europe, but that's now how we do things in the United State of America. We're not a perfect country, but with limited resources, we do a better job of creating a high quality of life (even for our least well off) than most countries in the world, while maintaining individual freedoms

Dude I'm from the UK. Up until the global downturn which your country caused, our economy and private industry was booming.

We feel we have all the individual freedoms your country has. The main difference is our citizens believe in the common good of society, which means those of us who have been fortunate in life should aid those who haven't.

Why can't Americans catch up with the rest of the developed world? - oh, because "America's always right"

[wikum3]

You know when that 20% of America (to whom logic and reason are of little relevance) stop screaming "Marxism!" when it's not even applicable, America might improve for the better.

Your public services are absolute shit. We always demand more from our government not less - and it means we get great free healthcare, education, legal system, police, transport infrastructure the list goes on.

Ever heard of John Keynes? That's the economics we follow - not Communism.

Anyone claiming that there is a Marxist in the White house does not know what Marxism is and even if they can do that, they wouldn't be able to explain why they think it is bad.

Obama was elected by the people.

You nutjobs and your crazy "marxist" crap.

Go back under the rock from where you came from.

[jtrue71]

"They said this day would never come." He's right. We never thought a marxist would be in the Whitehouse. We were wrong.

[anglotex]

You are still wrong! He's actually brought about 50 of them into the White House!

[afannell]

[mrmatalino]

[AngelicStateofMind]
