>It's not lying when you create a law to take something from the haves and give it to the havenots and I use that same law to take ted's degrees away from him and give it to me and you disagree just because your original law sounds good but fails in application.

You don't see any difference at all between degrees and money?

>It's exposes why socialism has failed everywhere it has been tried.

Uh, something like that. PURE socialism has failed everywhere it has been tried. Has PURE capitalism ever succeeded? The best societies use mix of the best of all principles. Socialism has ideas to offer, as does capitalism.

But not in your black-and-white world.

You would be making sense if the two were analogous. Unfortunately, they are not and you are not.

It's exposes why socialism has failed everywhere it has been tried.

Incorporating components of socialism into what is essentially a capitalist economy has not led to failure. That's more of your brainwashing.

Didn't think I could create a sentence that long did you?
