What makes Obama's embracing Marxism even more sick is that he's not some idiot trustafarian who hasn't seen how rotten much of the world is. How any person could go to places like Indonesia, India, and Pakistan and have ANY f'in bad thing to say about America is beyond me.

Of course their own intent is to use government to steal from everyone who has anything and “redistribute” the wealth to those who have little or nothing while skimming the bulk of the loot off the top as their just compensation for making things more equitable. In other words they think Pakistan is poor because the United States stole from Pakistan everything that wasn’t nailed down.
