Do you socialists really want the gap between rich and poor to be smaller...

I am probably a socialist based on American nomenclature (I wouldn't be called in Europe). That the gap becomes smaller to the richest is not an important goal, it is about securing an adequate living standard for everybody. You cannot do that in any way which will not hurt the rich either through direct taxation of them or through any other interference into business life that will affect them negatively. For me the x% has y% is more a way to show that there are funds available for distribution.

Hehe [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]. I am not an extremist aka. communists or such, but I don't believe you have a 100% right to keep what you earn/have. I understand that taxing too hard is both hurting the economy and also crossing a moral line. But I believe that the boy next door is more entitled to your money for food and schoolbooks if he/his parents can't afford than you are too them for your own consumption. If you don't agree to that I am willing to use force to make it happen anyway.
