In a globalist society, it is the global society which is engaged in creating wealth. Hence the wealth belongs to society where it is created. Hence the capitalist id required to pay its fair share of taxes which goes into sustaining the society where that wealth was created. In the days of imperialism, the British empire went into countries by force, colonialized them, looted them economically in the rubber plantations, tea gardens, gold mines etc. and took the wealth away saying the wealth belonged to them. They did little to roll back the wealth into societies where it was produced such as in Fiji, Indonesia, Africa etc. That gave rise to the Communist movements in several countries. In this globalist society things are different. Bush and his gang of looters do not represent globalist society. If they continue to establish themselves in countries like India and China, their political systems will soon engulf their holdings with a changing political climate in those countries. The US Capitalists then would need someone like the UN to help them out diplomatically. You cannot be taken in by these Capitalist theories. Instead, I would hope that you would use your new found freedom from Communism to let yourself from thinking tangentially and call Bush economic policies as something good. Have you heard of the "two Americas" Looked at differently, we can compare that scenario to the days of American slavery, where the slaves were told that they did not have any rights and that their masters (the rich Capitalists) were the ones who decided things for them.
