Well, of course the right-wing nutjobs aren't going to take this lying down. The U.S. is a socially problematic nation because it is not nearly as socialist as places like Scandinavia and Canada, and, this being the 21st century, a guy comes along who plans to lead them into the light and probably prove to be the best president since Roosevelt. But of course, socialism is a dirty word to the free market-worshippers, even if it would potentially narrow the apalling wealth gap in America.
