And that my friends, is why I'm a communist.

 

Can you elaborate?  is it because you are envious? you think its simply unfair? (if so, why) or because you want something for nothing?

I'm not judging, I just want to know which of the three above it is.

 

Because it's unfair and a lot of people don't even see it. "But they worked so hard for it." Yeah, 'probably', and what about the factory workers or dok workers who work their asses off? What about them? Don't they deserve a good live too?

To illustrate my point, in Belgium, we'll be getting a new energy tax to cover up the hole in our government budget caused by subsidies for solar panels. Everyone (solar panels or not) has to pay a monthly contribution, which is quite a lot for normal people and small businesses, but which is absolute peanuts for large companies who laid entire solar farms and are stilling making a killing from them.

All over the world, people in the middle class are slowly being squeezed, some toward the top, most toward the bottom.
