Er, have I misunderstood. I have no problem with higher taxes, to fund the NHS. If the country is as rich as a western, industrialized states are, I feel not caring for all your citizen's health, is fucking disgusting.
Fuck rich people, it's the workers who create wealth. By all means, reward those who innovate and coordinate wealth production, but having so much wealth that even your kids couldn't spend it in a lifetime, and still wanting more, revolts me (hence my rants about the greedy tory twats fucking up the country I love).
Socialism
IS NOT communism. Communism is a fatally flawed political system (or as Orwell commented in 'Animal Farm', "all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others". Utter bollocks to justify totalitarianism). Socialism rejects the "fuck you, I'm alright" attitude, in favour of the "no one left behind" approach, as a country advances. Basically, being a decent caring human being. Having to legislate for it just proves that the greedy cunts in society simply cannot just be ignored/forgotten about.
