He's not running for office. He's not part of a super PAC. He's not lobbying for or against any ballot measures.

But billionaire Thomas Peterffy is spending millions on television ads this election season with one cautionary message: Avoid socialism.

Reminds me of Ayn Rand. She grew up during the Russian Revolution and left Russia when she was around 21 ... to "visit" relatives in the US.

She never went back and turned out to be a fine writer, an outstanding philosopher, and Capitalism's finest advocate.

Good for him. The commenters at the site are idiots. His message is totally lost on them.

It’s always funny that the left/socialists, in attempting to deny that their policies are socialist, always and invariably claim that those making the charge “don’t know what socialism is”.

Well, lefties, let me tell you. You may be right, it’s not “socialism”, and you’re not “socialists”.

Your policies are much more akin to

FASCISM and supporting these policies makes you FASCISTS.

Ya happy now?

Thanks for posting. I am amazed CNN actually reports this.

He came to the US with the clothes on his back, and is a self made billionaire — he knows the difference between socialism/communism and freedom and capitalism. He can recognize that Obama and the Dems ARE trying to turn the US into a communist country, where everyone is equally poor, except the commy elite, of course.

Anyone who has built anything or made anything out of themselves needs to be worried about Zero and the Rats.

They think it all belongs to whoever will vote for them.
