We seem to have a resurgence of folks worrying about socialism. Those claiming rampant socialism have particularly fretted about certain Presidents, but more on that later. First, let’s get an overview of private industry’s percentage of all payrolls since 1939 via the BLS data to put it into broad perspective. If there’s one clear, defining trait of socialism, it’d be that folks work for the government rather than private industry.

The private share of payrolls under President Obama rises a bit above the private share under President Reagan. So if President Obama was a socialist as alleged, that’d make President Reagan a socialist … and an even more effective one at that.

COH Please.
