This is not Socialism, its the Ownership Society
Didn't George Bush incite us all to buy into the American dream? Weren't we all supposed to be the owners of a little piece of the pie? Well, here we are on the verge of creating a true Ownership Society and now they want to call it Socialism. I will never understand the Republican mind.

1. In the Chimp's Ownership Society
the program was about the top 2% owning all the rest of us. I believe the correct term is "Feudalism."

5. He gave speeches with huge slogans behind him.
Taking credit for increase in home ownership. I have a friend who is a mortgage person and former repug who pointed this out to me.
