Redistributing the wealth

I like social security. It's helping me in my retirement. That, and a pension. Nice. Nice. Nice. Anyway, social security is a program long advocated by socialists. Some of the best programs we have in the USA were first espoused by the socialists. Because their mission seems to be to work for the common good. For the good of the masses. Especially lower income people and the middle class. Yes, in a way, socialists are re-distributors of the wealth. I think that's a good thing. I don't want the rich -- such as millionaires and billionaires -- to be taxed unmercifully. They should be able to keep vast amounts of their wealth. But hey, they can afford to pay higher taxes. That would help redistribute the wealth. --Jim Broede
