The economy is not really socialist, it is redistributionist.

A distinction without a difference.

Actually there is a huge efficiency difference. And this bit about high taxation levels causing folks to work less is not proven. The Laffer Curve is a fraud. Of course at some level it does obtain, but not at the 50% level. But living in America with a high income is simply splendid. The pension rules are really quite amazing. I sock 25K a year into the pension, now up to 40K, along with my two partners, and we give the secretary about 2K. Isn't that grand?
