Hey jar that's otherwise known as communism...
Nonsense. Have you not heard of a mixed economy? You ought to have; you live in one.
Oh, you might say that's a straw man, but I live in the uk and as any uk citizen can tell you, we're a bit sick to the back teeth of having to pay taxes to a government who then doles our cash out to people who simple stay at home and booze or shoot up all day. A substantial proportion of these folks are 3rd generation sponges.
Any UK citizen? Like me for instance?
You are talking nonsense again. I am perfectly content with the taxes that I pay. I would support higher taxes for some of the highest earners. I do not engage in the simple-minded demonisation of benefit claimants, as you do here.
So yes, it's a straw man.
No-one wants people to be able to live as spongers (note the "r" - it's "spongers" not "sponges". No-one is giving benefits to sponges), but at the same time, we don't want people who are in genuine need to go without. You present no solution to this quandary. Do you really think that such in extreme position is typical of the British voter? Really? Can you imagine any political party being elected on that platform? If so, I can only conclude that you are living in a fantasy world.
If I were told my income was going to be shared out equally with all the other people in my town I certainly won't be incentivised to work until midnight on a software project.
You're fond of straw men aren't you. No-one has suggested any such thing. It certainly isn't public policy in the UK.
It is remarkable that you seem to regard an admission of selfish motivation to be persuasive. It's not. It just underlines why disgustingly callous individuals such as yourself ought to be kept as far away from policy as possible.
But please note in your communist society you have no right to any of your own property which effectively makes the poor even poorer.
Oh, did I mention that you are a terrible liar? Another good reason why your kind is kept well away from the reins of power in the UK. Most Brits aren't quite dumb enough to fall for silliness of that order.
