Dude! All that stuff takes money... it all takes money, everything takes money, someone somewhere has to make money, socialism doesnt work at all if there isnt anyone around actually doing something productive.
Capitalism promotes productivity, socialism sucks it dry (reminds me of an old girlfriend, but I digress)
I just dont get it... you suck 70% from the productive people to give it to the unproductive people so that the unproductive people can have the same life as the productive people until the productive people have been reduced to the middle class and have given enough to the unproductive people to make them middle class, and now you have a whole nation of middle class, everyones dream has come true, no poor no rich just one big happy middle class... now what???
