McCain is a Socialist.
What else would you call someone who wants to force candidates to pay for their campaigns by milking the government teat?

3. Socialism is no longer a dirty word...

I think it's going to make a comeback, when Americans realize that wealth is ALWAYS redistributed by government. Given that axiom, the choice is whether the redistribution should benefit the vast majority of middle class, and poor people, or the few rich who are already at the top of the heap.

I'm going to put more of an effort into learning about America's socialist movement in the 1930s and what the leaders back then thought and wrote about.
