Cloward-Piven redux: Rush says Obama wants to "crash the system," reboot it with "Marxism, socialism, whatever you want"

There is a word for it opopop..sedition

Marxism/fascism/communism/progressivism are both about statism and government control.

Well, then why do you keep saying he has, BJ? Are you a liar like your heroes? BTW, please provide facts and links that healthcare reforme [there is no takeover] and cap and trade [no such thing as cap and tax, that's a talking point created by Mr. Luntz] "would be disastrous for our economy."

If you are so upset with Mr. Obama's alleged "marxism" why were you not screaming about all of the REAL Marxists in the Bush administration?

I might add that the President has no power to "pass" anything. You really need to brush up on how our Government works. I posted a link to the Schoolhouse Rock video about how a bill becomes law. You really should watch it. It's simple enough that my children understood it when they are about 7-8, but then they both, most likely, have higher IQs than you.

And yes, I'm being snarky.

I'm curious how it can be called a 'health care takeover' when the bulk of the proposed reform is simply a government run public option that will provide competition for the existing insurance companies. The hospitals, doctors' offices, and clinics will go merrily on as they have thus far.

Cap and trade is part of the attempt to move us to a sustainable energy policy, so we don't borrow $700 billion every year from the Chinese. Even if the oil exists, this economic policy of borrowing to pay for it is completely unsustainable in the long run.

Now, I suspect you are likely going to point out what you perceive as a contradiction in these two points, Bobby Jindal fan. Namely, that the government option health insurance plan will cost us quite a bit of money. Remember that most of that money will be paid into the plan by premiums, just as with private insurance. Remember also that one of the reasons for instituting it is that the cost of doing nothing will quickly grow unsustainable. As evidence, I cite the recent health insurance company that raised premiums by 79%. Do you really think that can go on year after year? Also remember that we pay twice what countries with a single payer system pay, such as most countries in Europe, and they are ahead of us in health care outcomes, meaning they are getting better care on average at half off pricing. Surely we can do at least as well, right?

As for redistribution of wealth, I typically only ever hear that when the rich are being taxed to pay for something that will benefit everyone. When Reagan siphoned money out of the lower and middle classes, redistributing it upwards to the top 5%, that was just capitalism, right? Can't have it both ways. Sorry.
