All leaders don't claim to be communist though, but you already know that. Isn't communism about sharing the wealth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't communism about sharing the wealth? Right again - that's what all leaders promise. You ever heard one who said, "I'm going to make myself richer and you poorer" ?

No the lefties believe that only people who have more than them should have to share their wealth So depending on how much they have depends on their answer Poor lefties say millionaires and rich lefties say billionaires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna B Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 35 minutes ago, Jack Grey said: No the lefties believe that only people who have more than them should have to share their wealth So depending on how much they have depends on their answer Poor lefties say millionaires and rich lefties say billionaires IMO most people don't particularly want millions, but they would like to be comfortable with a degree of security, a nice warm house to live in, food on the table, and not have to worry about being able to pay the bills etc. It's not a lot to ask is it? It's more or less the world I grew up in and I was very happy. What's more I was optimistic about the future and felt I had opportunities should I wish to take them. There's nothing that saps the spirit more than worry, money troubles and debt. That can befall anybody these days, but more likely those with not enough income to cover their everyday costs in the first place, which is now affecting far too many people in full time work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With respect Anna you make out as though this period is time is the only time people have ( allegedly) struggled. When did you grow up, were people not struggling then?
