I'm sure I could find examples I'm sure you couldn't. both of them want OTHERS who did earn their money, to give it to others. Income disbursement is the name of their game, because it brings them votes. That's a basic tennant of communism. What you are describing is a "social democrat," not a communist. Not even close.

Karen hit the nail on the head with this one- there's no need for me to add to what she said: "What you are describing is a "social democrat," not a communist. Not even close. " But I will add, just for my own enjoyment, that the major tenet (a tennant- spelled tenant- is a renter) of communism is that there is no private ownership. To take two VERY wealthy men, and suggest they don't believe in private ownership is just silly. You need to read up on communism. Gore and Kerry aren't the slighest bit interested in it.
