This is the one part of socialism that Obama doesn't claim to be for.
But the large majority of the rest of the socialist platform he "is" for.

Yes. He hates that not everyone gets health care. He's going to steal from me to pay for others to get care.im sorry but if some kid's life is saved by you NOT super sizing tomorrow then tough shit. stop posting on the interwebs so you can get back to torturing and killing kittens.
if you make 250k+ and the tax hike means you are forced to stop being so wasteful (because thats all it is when you make that sort of money) then i say GOOD if a single mom can raise two kids on 23k a year then you and your quarter mil can suffer and mow your own lawn from now on.

So then wtf is the point of working, going to school for a long time and trying to get a high paying job such as a surgeon, lawyer, docter ect, when one can just skip college all together and the government will punish those that worked to get where they are and give me their money?

It was an extreme example asking why someone who goes to school for 8-10 years and spends a shitton on and education, or works their way up a ladder through a company, and works their ass off to get a good paying job should be penelized for doing so. And why someone would be motivated to do so just so the government can fuck them over more so then if they hadn't.

The whole tax issue/debate could be simply fixed with a flat tax rate. Why create brackets? Why take more $ from people who are more successful? There is no reason to punish them for being successful, just keep it a simple flat tax rate.. Which ever % that would be would be whatever is equivalant to what the whole nation pays already. Than everyone can stop their bitching, because if they make an extra $10-200k or whatever a year, they are taxed the same.

Well, first off, I don't make anything near 250k/year, but that number is irrelevant because the tax plan he's selling isn't the tax plan we'll get, and looking at it only from a AGI perspective misses all of the other tax disasters he's cooking up. I say "me" to generally mean "people who work". You might be surprised to know that the majority of people in the tax brackets Obama claims he's going to increase taxes for are actually Democrats. Yet Republicans vocally oppose this not out of selfishness or direct self interest, but because coercive wealth redistribution is immoral. We've been doing it a long time, but that doesn't mean its OK to make it worse.
Also, I typically don't eat fast food. My wife cooks most of what we eat from scratch. Supersizing tends to give you bigger fries and a drink, both of which have a massive glycemic load and are strongly correlated with early onset Type2 diabeties. So I try and avoid it. That's two stupid assumptions you've made.
But the real point here is this: basically, you feel it is OK to steal money from anyone that makes more than a certain amount of money? Really?
Suppose that I was making 250k a year. You'd come up to me, and say "give me $500 or else?" Seriously? How can you call yourself a human with an attitude like that? And then have the nerve to accuse me of kitten killing?
Or is it ok when 20 people mob together and say "you, with the 250k, give us $5000"?
either way, its fucking theft, and in the latter case, its angry-mob theft.
It's immoral. It's illegal. If you support this sort of government, you may as well wait for me outside work and mug me, hoping to get the trivial amount of cash that I carry.
I am not against helping sick people, nor am I against charitable giving. When I sold my house in Seattle to move here, I gave a tithe on the proceeds of the sale to my Church. I don't want to assume too much about you specifically, but that amounts to more in charitable giving than many people will do in their entire lives.
I am against the outright nationalization of health care, which is what the progressives want, and I am against coercive redistribution of wealth, which is what Obama stands for and re-iterates at every opportunity.
