@realist

Worse than Obama being a "socialist," I think his views on religion are more to be feared. His speech in Cairo was atrocious.

Socialism is a top down one size fits all cookie-cutter approach to market economics on the continuum to communism, which is inherently antithetical to freedom. Socialists always think they can manage markets and free people better than supply and demand.

@Molenir

Not a matter of what they expect, its a matter of value. You have the US, suddenly say, you can't make more then 250k a year. Bam. 10 companies in Europe offer the guy 400k. Guess where hes moving. Next guy comes in, starts making 250k, another company in…
