The alternative being to scrap the free market entirely and devolve into pure socialism. Which Obama is trying to prevent. So how does that make him a socialist again?

If Obama is not a capitalist, what is he?

That's rather like saying "if an animal is not a bird, then it MUST therefore be a fish." It's an uninformed and narrow statement that requires a very large set of blinders to say with a straight face. You managed to take it even further by trying to convince us that a sparrow is, in fact, not a bird.

And why is he unwilling to say what he is? Why is he not proud of what he is?

For the same reason he doesn't run around specifically answering every drooling slackjawed GED hopeful who accuses him of being a muslim.

How about getting the folks in Obama's administration to simply pay the taxes they owe? That would be a good start.[COLOR="DarkSlateGray"]

Cheap shot, and it's not even true. Try again.

Let's be real. Corporations either reinvest profits (eventually) or they pay out those profits to shareholders/stakeholders. These shareholders/stakeholders pay taxes on that money. This is about American people benefiting from strong American corporations. Weaken our means of production (or means of generating wealth) from corporations and you hurt American people.

That is a huge steaming pile of crap. Corporations escape taxes through a myriad of loopholes, and then "reinvest" in the corporation by hiring little girls in China to make their products for 2 cents an hour while spending several million renovating the CEO's bathroom. That is not helping the American people. It's furthering the incessant march toward serfdom.

Is unemployment at 0%? Then your logic is seriously flawed.
