I don’t disagree with that.
Still, when the money to be redistributed comes out of your paycheck, it makes a big difference.
Even if kids come from a home where “the Dole” is the bread-winner (so to speak), when they venture out on their own to work, the run smack dab into confiscation.
I was agreeing with your contention, and understand exactly what you meant. The “young people” who are the strongest supporters of socialism are those that have no interest in going out to look for a job.
Even the dupes of the left marching for $15/hour should first look at what is already being taken from their paychecks and direct their activism towards that. Liberal government officials get behind these absurd wage increases because it will increase the federal and state income taxes, as well as the Social Security and Medicare contributions of those workers (which don’t get refunded via tax returns); to them it is simply a wealth transfer from employer to government coffers.
After Obama’s election black talking heads on “news” networks were complaining that “socialist” had become the new “N-word”; they clearly understood it was exposing the wealth transfers from working non-blacks to non-working blacks (despite the fact that all races have members with outstretched palms).
