THANK YOU..... You are not allowed to go next door and steal money from your neighbor, that is stealing. So it is absolutely no different if the government takes money from your neighbor and gives it to you.....= stealing. I'm not a Socialist either, and it is true that Socialism leads to less freedom in overall political life eventually. Germany openly puts on the table banning certain religions, that alone is enough to tell me the state is less free. There is no reason you should pay 50% of you earnings to the government. The capitolist/free market model is far superior in practice to any Socialist model as far as individual liberty and prosperity is concerned. A free market economy, left alone to its own devices, brings far more prosperity OVERALL for EVERYONE than a Socialist model does.
