Man - when Obama raised the top tax rate from 24.5% to 29.5% - Hannity called him a socialist.
I mean, if you look at it, our history is full of radical leftists. Under Eisenhower, the top tax rate was over 90%! Shit, that commie Nixon had it at 75%.

Eisenhower would be a full-throated socialist these days! Hell, he even warned us of the dangers of the military industrial complex.

It’s a shame his legacy is marred by what he and the CIA did like that little coup thing in Iran and all the other places.

Eisenhower was a republican I'd vote for. He was a socialist by today's standard in the US.
