Considering you address everyone by Comrade, I would call it Communist.
If you are wealthy enough that all of your family's needs are cared for, and you still have more money to hand over to a bureaucracy that will squander it, good for you!
Personally, I would rather my money go towards my family. If I had extra to give away, it would be to specific charities or United Way, not to government.
Ha!
I see.
Social security, Medicare (you know, for the old folks), roads, libraries, schools, universities, mass transit, the military, the police....they are all are part of this "communism" you speak of.
I would much rather live in a country where we have MORE and BETTER social services.
You know, like a civilized country.
But don't worry! I won't have to dig deep into your pockets to find these social services.
We should simply divert a ***TINY*** piece of the ridiculous amount of money spent to slaughter innocent people around the globe.
Spend less on weapons of mass destruction and use that money (it is literally in the billions) into productive projects that will help communities here in the US.
Private contractors (mega corporations) make ridiculous profits by supplying weapons of mass destruction...
...why should our tax dollars fill the coffers of these Merchants of Death?
I have an idea (to save billions of dollars taxpayer dollars a year), and it will appeal to everyone with scruples:
(1) Private corporations will be held liable for all the hospitals, roads, bridges, mass transit, water treatment systems, schools, universities, and other crucial infrastructure destroyed with the aid of their weapons.
(2) Companies that supply data, intel and logistical support for the Death Machine will also be held liable and pay (so, yes, Google, telecoms, etc.)
(3) Human life is clearly worthless, so we won't attempt to assign a cost to it. Consider this my "gift" to the War Effort.
(4) Politicians, out of their own pocket, will be fined an amount equal to the destruction. They can work off debt by becoming a driver for Uber. As you know, Uber drivers are compensated highly. If a politician does not possess a drivers license, they can work off debt by working at Walmart. This is a "private sector" solution, so I know many people will find it palatable.
(5) By default, US corporations and politicians (out of pocket) will assume all financial responsibility for destruction committed by our "allies" / "coalition members" and any other groups we are supplying logistical / military support.
If you think I am "radical" (I am far from it), then look up the "radical communist" Dwight Eisenhower.
