Obama seems to follow the Marxist/Socialist premise that success should be punished while the non-producer reaps the rewards of the successful.

In conclusion folks, conservatives don't know what words mean.

Again, you don't seem to have a remotely solid grasp on what Marxism actually is. You're just throwing it around like it's some kind of rhetorical silver bullet. By your standards, the entire industrialized world is a steaming cauldron of Marxism where every successful person is punished.

You have this arbitrary starting point where everything thereafter is either socialist or Marxist. What about Marxist, publicly funded wars you cheerlead for? What about the Marxist roads and bridges you drive on? A Marxist police force and fire department protect your property and provide security. Of course you'd never consider things things to be Marxist because you have absolutely no coherent thoughts on the subject. You just point at whatever you don't like and say "MARXIST/SOCIALIST/COMMIE!!!!!!".

By your standards every reasonably well off country in the world is Marxist. By your standards Reagan was a fucking Marxist. You should try reading a book sometime.
