" from Mac. They've been around for years so what are they want main street USA to look like the Kremlin joining me now is Sam Webb national chair of the Communist Party USA Sam how -- Very good very good. You've been a Communist we'll let me ask you the right way. Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party. Forty years forty years you have how my family must be so proud. Well I think the -- by the loyalty kept be quite who apple apocalyptic about the future quite to a third point oh well we know pillow a little bit all. You're happy man I -- socialism is socialism and yet it isn't yet on the agenda you are right the main thing is to improve the lies the working people yourself right through -- Can America we listen I want to -- and I mean this sincerely listen to this man he just gave a speech in Cleveland Ohio what at the end of January. The -- and you and you said I read today it's fantastic you talked about how the Communist agenda. Is being fulfilled by Barack Obama bush talked a little bit about that. I said boo hoo the new president the new congress does represent something quite different from what we've had over the past three years. -- I don't think I said dad I think -- sort of -- people's advocate the use at an ally no I don't think they did -- made the speech you do and nobody branded a lot of I mean I had I really I didn't try to fight rebel movement had. The memory -- beautiful. But the point -- is making resistant I think Obama. Represents. The same kind of spirit probably form as did in this country -- it Lincoln like Teddy Roosevelt. Like if you six even Lyndon Johnson like Landon don't know Lakeland -- marks Nomo like why not like Marx because we view this is why you know this socialist he's not a Marxist you know why do you push yourself away if you from Lenin and Marx I don't myself but right Barack Obama does he's not a socialist he's not a Communist. No you bandied that a -- during the campaign and now people of many of the -- America let me -- isn't -- under the -- let me tell -- something. I did say that Barack Obama was bad Marxist tendencies. Then he has surrounded himself with the with marxists his whole life it's an absolute fact you can look that up. I didn't say that I thought we were informed -- did socialism I didn't say also that if Barack Obama was elected you wouldn't you want to wake up one day in our country and it would be. Vastly different then the country that you were sleeping you went to sleep -- What I'm sorry that I've been so wrong. Where you've been wrong but the American people in the majority did elect Barack Obama -- White House. They elected a different congress enough they want to do is change. OK so change after the disaster of the bush years so you feel agree with Barney I'm racing to forget. I don't this country has been brought to its -- its economic knees because of the policies of the Bush Administration. And Wall Street yeah. You -- I franks also in there which what does he wall Streeter. Barton Franken at the U rip at the Democrats have said that they were going to get rid of Fannie and Freddie they would relinquish them but -- other holding onto them and they're saying I don't know we're going to hold onto them you actually are four. Nationalizing the banks use as the as the leader of the Communist Party here -- nationalizing the banks is a good thing how come no I say this and by the way. The idea of taking note of thanks is not -- too well -- even Alan Greenspan. I know -- Alan Greenspan was then a friend of the worker has and I know he doesn't poll well then why would you use him I'm just saying it's all part of the mainstream notices a lot of while Communist idea now that Alan Greenspan basically I think he's credited leaflet and we know make is this oh before taken over the banks in democratizing. Them. I -- take Alan Greenspan. He had -- up the Fed for about fifteen years he's one of the main culprits in the he's one of the main architects of generous financial crisis -- is why should he make these decisions. Solely by himself. Why -- the -- be democratize bright flash should work is make those so here for the stimulus except it's not big enough for you it's not big most big enough and the composition is wrong. Too many tax rates for the wealthiest Americans. Who bit that you've been pigs at the trough over the past thirty years -- hang on just like we've been -- the -- You should be included in that category really is how much do you give for charity. Public store give them a certain percentage of your income you give to charity I give my money for the people's weekly world women's -- how much. How much how much percentage of yourself 500 dollar I make but my -- 26000. Don't -- a U five an adult yet to a paper. -- salary.

You know the people who -- are you calling for the most compassionate man are they he can have. Either people who are calling for the most compassion are the least likely to part with their money. No I'm not saying that there are greedy rich people but there seem to be some lady Communists -- make this point yes if we think. That philanthropy. You know -- good soldiers like -- Can begin to solve the problem that this country's facing."
