Decrying socialism Bobby Jindal wants poor also to pay taxes

Washington, Oct 29: Deriding Democrats as socialists and fellow Republicans in Washington as weak and too quick to surrender, Indian-American presidential hopeful Bobby Jindal has proposed making everyone - including the poor - pay federal income taxes. This was the best way to rein in government spending, he said participating in Wednesday night's undercard CNBC Republican Presidential Debate at Colorado University's Coors Events Center, in Boulder, Colorado. "I want every American to worry and care about how those folks in DC are spending our money," Jindal said. "Socialism is bad. Not only for taxpayers, but for the people they're trying to help. There's dignity in work. There's dignity in self-sufficiency." "We are going the way of Europe," he said at one point. "The left is trying to change the American dream into the European nightmare." Jindal joined three other low polling candidates -- South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum and former New York Governor George Pataki -- in the hour-long debate ahead of the main debate among top ten Republican candidates.
