Obama has frequently espoused the socialist idea of "spreading the wealth" in other words raising the tax rates on business and the wealthy to a burdensome level in order to redistribute their income to low income individuals, many of whom don't currently pay taxes. From which John McCain replied "He's running for Redistributor In Chief, I'm running for Commander In Chief." <ref>[http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/10/31/mccain-hungry-upset-obama-eyes-landslide/ McCain Attacks Obama's Faith in Americans] Fox News, 10-31-2008</ref> The slogan "From each according to their ability to each according to their need" is an idea originally proposed by [[Karl Marx]] and is clearly the inspiration for the centrally planned economy Obama will introduce to the US in January 2009.  In addition, his health care plan forces employers to purchase health care or pay a fine and will force many into a poorly run single payer system.  The socialization of health care will force taxpayers to pay for healthcare for those who refuse to purchase it themselves.  He favors closer ties with Cuba, China, and Venezuela, all abusive communist regimes.
