How does "asking the rich to pay a little more" translate into Communism?

Because if Obama called it what it really was nobody would vote for him.

Quick answer:

It doesn't.

More thought provoking answer:

This is a trick question because there are no rich people in communist nations. Communism's goal is the equalization of the economy for the greater good of the nation and its peoples.

It doesn't, but it's not a step towards economic health.

"Have we achieved full change yet?" "I mean have we achieved the change Obama promised?"

"Heck no, it's going to get a lot worse."
