@moneytruth_org@PhilipProudfoot So you think socialism doesn't have rulling elites??
Socialist ruling clas are much more authoritarian and the people themselves end up poorer with no rights.
@IanTwitts@BladeoftheS Those are 'social/civil' policies. Paid for by private sector taxes.
They are not socialism as a system of governance.
Look at Cuba...a brilliant health care system...but the rest of the economy is like the toilet out of Trainspotting.
@PeteWishart You're more interested in importing votes from foreigners to keep power than actually protecting the people that have lived here, defended our island, fought for our rights and freedoms, and built the country.
The SNP will take us back to the Stone age, with tyranny & poverty.
@BladeoftheS A wealth tax is a completely different thing from an earnings tax!
One has to start selling the asset to pay the wealth tax.
It stops investment because there is no point.
@BladeoftheS Lineker is quite free to pay more tax to the government voluntary.
He fought HMRC over a £4.9 million tax bill he didn't want to pay.
He's a hypocrite.
@Bobolutontim@BladeoftheS Under socialism there is no way to pay for these things as its all paid for by taxes from the private sector. Destroy that and you jave nothing.
Maybe you should talk to people that have escaped communism...you may well have a revelation.
@GeoffRicha42536@BladeoftheS China realised that socialism doesn't work.
They still have huge levels of extreme poverty.
So you can own companies or businesses there...but you will do exactly as the government wants or else.
Is that really how you want to live?
