im not proposing forcing anyone to act in a certain way, am i forcing them to help others via taxation, yes, but that seems fair enough to me, i feel taxation is neccesary as i dont trust rich people and private companies to pay for the education and healthcare of a poor person, so we should make sure that they can get there pay, but give up a fair percentage to help the less fortunate.

does that help?

You realize that the people who run government share the same greedy, self-absorbed mentality of those evil businessmen you so deplore, right?

I'm fine with you if you're liberal and believe in socialism. I disagree, but that's your choice and your right. But the idea that people who serve in government are somehow more noble than their capitalistic brethren is folly.

 

i trust them more than the bussinessmen, the government would at least be helping the less fortunate via the welfare state

Bill Gates has given more wealth to humanity than any other person in the history of man.

Do you trust him? If no, why not? He's done a hell of a lot more for the world than Nancy Pelosi, Barrack Obama, George W., or any other American politician you can think of.
