Communism has already been tried for over 70 years, and it doesn't work because people work to support themselves, not their neighbors.

I think one of the by-products of the communications explosion is a sort of corruption fatigue. We've lost our ability to be shocked or enraged by the machinations of politicians.

All the property that is necessary to a Man, for the Conservation of the Individual and the Propagation of the Species, is his natural Right, which none can justly deprive him of: But all Property superfluous to such purposes is the Property of the Publick, who, by their Laws, have created it, and who may therefore by other laws dispose of it, whenever the Welfare of the Publick shall demand such Disposition. He that does not like civil Society on these Terms, let him retire and live among Savages. He can have no right to the benefits of Society, who will not pay his Club towards the Support of it. – Benjamin Franklin Famous Quote	added 5 years ago

Let the end be legitimate, let it be within the scope of the constitution, and all means which are appropriate, which are plainly adapted to that end, which are not prohibited, but consist with the letter and spirit of the constitution, are constitutional. ...[S]hould Congress, under the pretext of executing its powers, pass laws for the accomplishment of objects not entrusted to the government, such [acts are] not the law of the land. – Chief Justice John Marshall Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
