RMax304823: Maxim: There has never been anything close to pure communism. It's an ideal type based on the notion of common ownership of everything, down to toothbrushes. Far too noble for human nature. It was a dismal failure in the USSR and Eastern Europe.
Nobody but you is talking about "taking everything from the wealthy that they have earned and giving it to those that don't work and will not work."
Your statement prompts the question of just what Paris Hilton did to earn her portfolio. As for those who "will not work," you make it sound like anyone who is unemployed has made a personal choice to be lazy. It's amazing how, for ten years following the stock market crash of 1929, one third of our entire labor force decided they should no longer have to work. Finally, have you ever wondered how the wealthy and the rest of our society managed to survive the 1950s, when the highest personal income tax bracket was 90 percent?
In any case, you really don't need to have the level of anxiety that leads you to believe we're headed towards Dr. Zhivago. No matter who gets in, nothing much is going to change except that the country and the government may be a little cleaner than it was before.
Sometimes you are more help than you know.
Your comment: There has never been anything close to pure communism. It's an ideal type based on the notion of common ownership of everything, down to toothbrushes. Far too noble for human nature. That is just beautiful. You actually believe that everyone should own equally, everything down to our own toothbrushes. Just Beautiful. I suspect, from your moniker, that you are in the realestate business. I sure hope that you communicate to your clients, your business ideology. Please, put that statement on your business card, and then tell us how your business grew. You take advantage of capitalism for YOUR benefit and then you trash it. Are you one of those that wants all the money on the table split equally, no matter how hard everyone works to get it, so that you can have the same liesure of spending it? How much do you gouge out of people when selling a house? And I'll just be that your "selling" amounts to riding a person to the house, letting them look at it and leaving. Jealous and lazy.
Your comment: No matter who gets in, nothing much is going to change except that the country and the government may be a little cleaner than it was before. That is what you have to have people believe to get Hussien elected. He says that he will change everything. Change, Change, Change!!! And you say, what, that he is lying? And what the he!! is "a little cleaner"? No wait, I know what it means, it means that Obama will support HIS lobbyist from the Chicago area, that Obama will support his people, that Obama will support the UN, and countries that are opposed to the US.
Thanks, now I get it and know what "change" is.
