As an aside, I really don't get how Americans can label Obama/the Democrats socialist. If that's the case, then places like Canada and Australia are full on Marxist states, and god knows what China is...
Frankly I'm not enough of an expert on American politics to comment too deeply on this issue. But I've never understood the huge opposition to increasing the tax on the richest citizens (or getting rid of the "temporary tax cuts", whatever) considering your huge problem with debt. Strikes me as selfish and unpatriotic to the maximum. The cost of living in the States is also far, far cheaper than a place like Australia (dear god, your petrol- gas, sorry- is like half the price of ours!), and your wages can spiral much higher than anything here. And yet you have a far poorer welfare system for the worst off citizens. So why exactly is there an outcry when you consider helping out the "plebians"?...
