re: Just item 4. of your manifest qualifies for communism at any time.

This?

4. Pass ultra heavy taxes on corporate paychecks over $200K and give tax breaks for total wages paid

Note it's only "corporate paychecks", not capital gains or returns for business owners. Just a means to flatten payrolls which have become ridiculous in their inequality.

You think high taxes on tobacco and liquor are OK, why not on obscene salaries? And tax breaks to the energy companies are OK but not tax breaks to get employee's out of working poverty? It's just a little social engineering, nothing we are not doing every day. Only difference is who benefits.

BTW, I didn't say I agree with all those thing... just letting Ten know there are ideas out there.
