What is with you leftists' obsession w taxes and redistribution? 

taxes are required to provide programs and funding for vital programs that aid college programs and education. It's needed, but to what extent is the debate. Redistribution is also required because all things arent equal and some who benefit greatly because of circumstance should be obligated as humans to help those that are depressed because of circumstance. Im not talking total redistribution but obviously inequality to such a large degree is unhealthy for a civilization, there is no concept of equal pay for equal work, there are massive skews. You have basketball players making millions and doctors making a fraction of that, you have physicists making next to nothing creating new technologies and advancing our civilization while oil tycoons make billions.

if its everyone for themselves then we are fucked because those in positions of power will make sure its them not you. Open your eyes, do you realize there are kids all over the world starving, for no other reason then where they were born? life isnt fair but we have the ability to skew it and make it so, fairness is not a concept that requires debate, its objective certainty and truth, its the moral thing.

And I also would have people on food stamps in work boots at 8 am on a farm plowing the fields in the sweltering heat.  Why did you leave that out?

That sounds kind of communist too... Didn't Stalin do shit like that?

ya they will plow the fields to give you grain, you go sell it and make massive profits, and pay them nothing in relation to the importance they provide and give them there food stamps. Poor people are like dirt they dont understand or see that being taken advantage of is negative, i mean shouldn't they be happy to get food for back breaking labor?

surely they couldn't be put off by being taken advantage of right?

of course stalin did this, communism doesn't work, human nature won't allow it there will always be greedy fucks

No, only if you want taxpayer funded welfare, benes, etc and refuse or can't find work.
