I don't believe for a minute that most of these socialist utopia types actually care about the people. They are more about personal power than anything else. If they sincerely believe in something it's that they're intellectually superior to the rest of us and therefore deserve to rule over us.
Well, why do you think these socialist leftists are so dangerous and uncorrectable? Because it is the flip side of faith and free enterprise...they believe in forcing all to share their wealth will help people...and it does help some people. But it should NEVER be forced by taxation and an income tax. I see a decent side of Obama, but he and all all leftists have been thoroughly brainwashed.
