"Paying for someone else"

[opebo]

It  is a bit of a misunderstanding to say that one can 'pay for someone else'.  If you have money beyond subsistence (say in the US anything over 30k-50k/year), you already have a privilege taken from someone else, and certainly all of the vast incomes of the owners are 'paid by someone else' - namely those they control through ownership.

Do you believe that you don't have the right to anything beyond a basic living?

No, I believe that superlative incomes - particularly those derived from ownership, but not only those - are derived from the enslavement of the working class.  The privilege that the upper class receives is in fact control of the majority - the fact that we call it 'income' or 'wealth' is just window-dressing.

I love the way anyone who questions the effectiveness, or the popularity, of state redistribution of wealth, is evil.

The capitalist state has distributed wealth as it is, BritishDixie, and it is to the State that you owe every chit of privilege you are vouchsafed.  Others merely propose an adjustment.

This is what the far left has done to our great nation.

How could the 'far left' do anything to your precious nation?  It hasn't been in power anywhere in the world in decades, and has never had any power or influence in the US.
