Yes.  As long as the means of production are privately owned, the capitalist has the incentive and ability to exploit the laborer.

This is a great way to sum up the far-left of the Democratic Party


Great post!!
You don't get it SNJC, Progressivism in America is not Communism, and look at Kalwejt's post again and explain how Europe isn't Communist again.


To him, everyone to the left of Ben Nelson is a Communist.

Sadly, yes. The complete elimination of opulence would require far more radical measures than just a return to 1970s-level marginal tax rates. It's still a goal to strive for, of course.

What a disgusting mindset. Its one thing to say lets help the poor by hurting the rich but now you are just saying  the rich.

Having such rich people is a problem in itself. Money = political power, and concentrated political power = oligarchy.
