why hate socialism? - Page 8

watching the campaigns over the last few months, and reading these forums, it's become pretty obvious that most americans hate socialism. it's used as a club against anyone (not just obama) who dares talk about fiscal reform, new health care policies, etc.

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?
