So, if a rich guy's butler calls off sick, is that also...(takes in deep breath) SOCIALISM?
According to the right, the tea party, and the 'liberal' media:
Taxes? Socialism.
More regulation? Socialism.
Transparency? Socialism.
Accountability? Socialism.
Closing tax loopholes and watching tax shelters? Socialism.

It just seems to me that anything that takes the fun out of inheriting millions of dollars from Mommy and Daddy is considered to be... SOCIALISM.

So, that's the point of the question in the title. Is it?

1. I'm pretty sure they call that "being a lazy deadbeat"
It is simply unacceptable that Alfred cannot have open-heart surgery during his 15 minute break.
