And pretty good for 1943 or so. <br /><br />And whether or not this is the "pinkest" regime in American History is certainly debatable. <br /><br />FDR certainly adopted many Marxian talking points, but so did Herbert Hoover, the Kingfish and Bob Lafollete. <br /><br />As far as I can tell FDR never came out publicly in favor of "State control of the means of production and distribution of goods." At the time, that would have ended his political career. <br /><br />But FDR never actually endorsed the twin faces of end game Socialism: Fascism, with its retention of taxable private property or the Communists State ownership of all property, down to your underwear. <br /><br />On the other hand, it is hard to tell what Obama has in mind; beyond "all your income belongs to the State and I am going to share it with the poor and downtrodden." Especially the poor and downtrodden people running Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and his other money faucets.<br /><br />StrangerStrangerhttp://extranosalley.comnoreply@blogger.com
