Redistribution of wealth from social parasites to the producers.

Money earned in the private sector should be your's to keep. One's income is based on what they can convince their employer they're worth. Are you saying you want the government to be powerful enough to take money from one person and give it to another more than they already do so?

barfbag, the capitalist government does precisely that - that is how you have you 'private property rights': privilege provided you by the State.

More than they already do? It's not a privilege given by anyone, but was fought for in the Revolutionary War. If something is your's then it's your's. Private property goes along with being a free nation.

There's a reason that the Declaration omits property as one of the reasons the U.S. was declaring independence and the Constitution does not. Using 'property' would have meant little to no support from the producing classes. Property rights followed the revolution, the revolution did not happen to ensure property rights. It was a revolution against special rights that were granted (titles of nobility, monopolies) on account of class position by the British crown.
