Last Night on Anchorage Edition Paul Jenkins stated that Obama’s tax plan was socialist because it redistrubed wealth. Isn’t the Bush and McCain tax plan socialist also. All taxes redistribute wealth in one way or another. The Bush/McCain plan will redistribute the wealth to the rich.
A true conservative capitalist would not worry about if it is going to the rich or middle class but try and have it go to the portion of society that would us it in the most productive way. I think a tax cut to the middle class is more prodcutive than one to the rich

No one ever accused Bush of being a socialist and yet he singlehandedly redistributed trillions of dollars of our grandchildren’s wealth to Halliburton, KBR, Blackwater and VECO (your employer).
