" I think violence should be avoided if at all possible."

CommieTranslator: "If we get what we want we won't riot"

You Commies still don't understand that you have no right to another person's time and labour do you? You're thieves. If people want to give to charity, they will.

"explointing others for personal gain when you contribute less than most of them to society and humanity."

Wha..?

Exploiting the rich by stealing half of the wealth they generate, when you contribute less than ANY of them to society and humanity.

Ah, deserve.

This is why Commies always hate God. They think they should be the ones to tell everybody what they deserve. Trouble is, when you let a commie run wild it usually results in millions starving to death, doesn't it?

What are you talking about? just because someone disagrees with the means to cut back on the deficit and has a belief that pay does not equal worth does not mean they are a communist that is our to go kill rich people and starve millions.

Socialism and the welfare state is not the same as communism.

Congratulations though, you've just invented a weird twist on Godwin's Law.

P.S. i don't hate your god, i don't believe in any God.

I believe your assumption that people won't want better education is possibly true, but the reasoning demonstrates what is wrong with those opinions.

The benefits of a bette educations system is not isolated to those who receive the education, the whole of society benefits. If a country has a better educated workforce, it's more likely to attract more business, international investment and increasing levels of employment.

This brings in more capital, the country gets richer, people have more money because they are employed in a strong economy and there are increased tax returns which allow for better public services.

Higher education also has knock on affects, including improved health, better social environment and reduced crime.

And even if there weren't private schools, you can still compare education to other countries, to other state schools and overall edcuation levels.

You can then see why having a really good quality, state education system benefits the whole of society. Cutting back on education will only cause long term problems, increased crime, a poorer, less skilled workforce, less investment and a weaker national economy. I don't think any of us want that.

Except maybe those who can afford to send their children to private schools, get their children into the top universities and can ensure their children a good job through nepotism. They are the ones who can afford private healthcare, tax haven status, and extra security to keep the 'local ruffians' out.

raise inheritance tax, raise capital gains, raise corporation tax.

significantly reduce all military funding.

I would rather people who dont want to work (I doubt anywhere near as many as you muppets think, remember JSA is barely enough to live on) got a basic standard of living than were on the streets breaking the law to get by.

exactly, the whole capitalist argument about hard work equating to better pay is utter dross and has no basis in reality.
