| Message | The Bastards point out that the whole "dividing the wealth between the masses" rhetoric of socialism has one inherent flaw - There will be little "wealth" if it is all divided between everyone, regardless of their individual contributions to the way the Gross Domestic Product of this nation was accrued. Subsequent flaws are the rewarding of those who give little contribution and scavenge the carcass of the state to provide for themselves. Jobs, and thus employment and self-generated welfare, are created by expanding companies with the income to invest in new enterprise. Tax them and in stifling the rate at which they can expand, you contradict your own mantras and undermine the very "working class" you seek to protect. |
