Few people would argue that FDR wasn’t our greatest president since Lincoln. Even those retards that put Ronald Reagan on a higher pedestal are likely to give FDR a silver or bronze. But if FDR’s policies (like a pre-war marginal income tax rate of 81% on income over $5 million) were socialist, then what does that say about socialism? One of our greatest presidents taxed income over $200,000 at a 94% rate in 1944-1945. It paid for the defeat of Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany. But we can’t pay 39.6% on income over $250,000 (as we did in 1994), while our troops are bogged down in another two-front war, without being called socialists? And if FDR wasn’t a socialist, then how can Obama be one?
