Socialism - "a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole".
I'm sorry but I have worked hard for my land, property and money. I've been climbing the ladder and I live pay check to pay check all the while paying thousands of dollars in taxes every year, which already go up every year. But yeah sure lets have it go up more for my tax bracket so we can give more money to people who are not working and get tax breaks and welfare because they are not working. That's not to say that everyone who is on welfare is lazy, etc, but there are those who abuse the system.
I feel like playing devil's advocate.
firstly, true socialism (Marxism) supports the abolition of personal property, and working for things as a community, not necessarily giving everyone equal money.
second, you think you worked hard for your money? Tell me, are you a laborer? They get payed extremely low, sometimes even minimum wage, to bend their backs all day long.
third, I think you're being very selfish complaining about your taxes. The reason you get taxed higher is because you can afford it. Do you think someone living of $100 a week can afford a 50% tax rate? I didn't think so.
Edit: complaining about people who "bum" off welfare is pretty selfish too. Welfare is about the lowest income you can get, most of those people are living extremely uncomfortable lives. And quite a few of them are actually looking for a job, although not all of them.
