Re: How Much More Can We Redistribute


Do you know what Lenin and Trotsky did when the soviets actually got total control?

There were no rich or poor, everyone paid taxes.

Do you know when Mussolini did when he got control of the government?

There were no rich or poor, everyone paid taxes.

If one would understand how things worked then, even up to the end of the soviet union or in Italy, they had the same problem at the beginning we are having but it didn't take much time when they decided that everyone works and everyone pays. It won't be a choice, it won't be one of these freedoms for someone to choose to pop out kids and then be on state aid for 18 years, they will end up setting up government run day care (kind of like the soviet's child care system for working mothers where the kid was dropped off in the morning and looked at every hour and a half) and no one will have the choice, your life is to provide for the state and nothing else.

An immigrant from Poland living in Ohio, living a hardscrabble life with his wife was asked by a stranger on July 4th "why did you come here if you are so poor, wouldn't life be better in Poland?"

His answer was "I would rather live poor all my life than live my life without freedoms" - Theodore Konowski - 1852
