A socialist would be proposing wealth taxes, not raising income tax rates. Obama’s policies as they affect the upper end of the income scale all co-opt the already-rich and large corporate interests and make them into auxiliaries of the state while attacking small enterprise: too-big-to-fail banking policies, first-to-file patent laws, copyright maximalism, “green” energy subsidies, and the focus on raising tax rates not on broadening the tax base, and most of his regulatory expansion all favor incumbents in the market against newcomers.
