if you equate socialism and communism, that would be incorrect, but i would understand it. but if socialism means increasing taxes to pay for health care, schools, etc, without imposing on civil liberties, why the blind hatred?
or am i missing something?

Yes. I'm opposed to it because it will kill our economy. On the health care acpect of it, I have mixed feelings. I am willing to pay for the quality over the quantity. The people that truely need the health care need the help, but soon everybodies "illness" will be covered. There is too much abuse in the health care system that needs to be dealt with.
the increase in taxes thing never ends. One innocent tax increase leads to another and another, then the majority of your pay-check is gone. It's my $#%$^% money. I worked for it so keeps your hands off it. If you don't like capitalism, go live in Cuba. I lived in Russia for a little while and I got to see what a socialist system can do.
