Is John McCain A Socialist ?

In case you didn't know, John McCain believed in taxing the rich back in 2000. Now, he's calling Barack Obama a socialist for sharing the same belief in 2008. This guy can't stick to his guns on anything! It's funny that Fox is playing this Chicago radio interview with Barack Obama from 2001 as proof that he is a socialist. Not only that but they are purporting that he is trying to right a social injustice by creating a giant "welfare system".. In plain English, some white people are petrified that "redistributing wealth" means giving their money to aid in the upliftment of disenfranchised blacks. I beg to differ. John McCain had the same basic belief of taxing the rich because they could afford it. I just think people are really being blindsided by ignorance. If Obama is a marxist then,my friends, so is John McCain.
