Democratic "socialism:"
Tweaking the tax code to shift the enormous tax break President Bush gave to his "base"–earners in the top 2% of the country–to those struggling to put food on the table and send their kids to college.
Republican socialism:
Taking $150,000 of money at a time when your candidate is taking public financing for a presidential election to buy an over-priced new wardrobe for the vice presidential nominee.
Republican communism:
Using $150,000 for new duds while receiving public financing when your own family doesn’t pay into the presidential public finance fund.
Update: Corrected to reflect that this money came out of RNC funds, not McCain funds.
Update: Saks corrected to spell it like people who shop there would spell it, per brendanx.
