Don't give me your Communist thing Barry. I certainly hope you know what you're doing if you've got communist ideals. It's been tried and it doesn't work. Remember I was born into Communism. Try and give everyone the same wage and everyone gets work. Sounds good but what happens is people sit around all day drinking coffee and don't work and still get paid. There's no motivation to work or work hard. The economy goes bust. With capitalism, the motivation is there to work for yourself and it works overall.
I could go on about the failures of Communism but bleh...
why do you want liberty from having to work anyway? True, socialist systems provide more support to those less able to work etc. but then you can easily fall into what I described above. All motivation to do well, all ingenuity etc. is gone
How else did all the Communist states end up so much poorer than the west?
