It would be nice for someone so passionate about something, to atleast have a good understanding of what they are so passionate about.
In both Communism and Capitalism, the government forces you to give to others. American tax dollars already go to feeding hungry, supporting government owned programs, and so forth. The only difference is magninitude, in the Soviet Union, there was a 80% tax on private goods produced,the government owns all land, and the government owned all large businesses. In the United States we tax over 10% of private goods, the government owns 1/4 of all land (last estimate I heard, includes continental shelf, public parks, and roads), and the government owns a limited number of businesses with the option to take businesses over. Europe and China is a more moderate example of this.
In the United States the government forcefully takes money and gives it to the poor.
In the Soviet Union the government forcefully takes more money and gives it to the poor.
Taxes are the price we pay for civilization. - Holmes
