Who shares Obama’s agenda?
By Ken Falkenstein | Wednesday, October 5th, 2011 | PoliticsWhich party has the following statement on its website as a statement of its goals?
We call for nationalization of the banks, railroads, and industries like steel and auto. Everyone who wants to work should be guaranteed a job or get unemployment payments until she/he can find a job. We say put the unemployed to work at union wages on massive public works programs to rebuild our cities, provide affordable housing for the homeless, build mass transit, and clean up the environment!
If you answered the Democrats, your answer would be understandable given that Barack Obama and his Democrats in Congress have either done or tried to do every single one of these things. But the answer is that this agenda statement appears on the web site of the Communist Party USA.
