Well, I've never heard President Obama say he was a Marxist or even come close. In fact, I'm certain that if this country wasn't rapidly becoming a corpative fascist state that he would be considered a moderate liberal - if not marginally conservative. I can see though how the objectivist propaganda machines could make the weak minded think that, though. By the objectivist definition, Jefferson, Adams, and many of our country's founders would have been considered "bleeding-heart liberals". But then I wouldn't expect you understand this, because you have been mis-educated in the Fascist States of America by the Objectivists. Do you even understand what Marxism is? Why did Karl Marx feel that the rich (bourgeoisie) were exploiting the poor and middle class (proletariat)? Can you see that Marx was fighting the same hegemony that exists today? Sadly there are always people like you who aren't smart enough to understand that you are fighting for the wrong side, until it's too late. I don't agree that the solution Marx proposed would work, because he didn't consider that even in a Marxist society there would be mean and stupid people to try to gain an unfair advantage and exploit others. However, I do believe his analysis of the problem is spot on. I suspect you are a self-professed Christian, and you believe in doing what's right. I commend you for that. The problem is that the objectivists (an atheist cult) has taken control of the economy and many other parts of our country; and they are attempting to eviscerate our government using propaganda. What will happen, unless someone stops it, is that America will become a tyranically controlled 3rd-world country. Imagine the US becoming like the worst parts of Africa? The only thing that stands in their way is the government. Oh, and just so you know, the objectivists tell you that they want "free enterprise", but what they mean is that they want a system with the rules slanted in their favor. That's why the most important piece of the Healthcare bill needs to be a repeal of the McCaran-Ferguson act, which established the anti-trust protection in health insurance. Wake up and smell the fascism!!!
