“...in fact, it’s the same sort of attitude that prevailed in Eastern Bloc societies (according to my dad, who grew up in such a society and finally got out nearly thirty years ago) where all property belonged to the State, and individuals were allowed to “keep” only certain amounts.”
The modern GOP is on board with that concept just as much as the Democrats.
