Socialism, communism, marxism or whatever you want to call the anti-capitalist movement they are espousing really sounds wonderful. If everyone could truly be equal.
History has told us this won't work for 2 reasons
1) people are not equal. There will always be people who believe they are "better" and expect to get "more" than others.
2) when you take the profit motive away, there is no wealth created and no economic growth. Eventually the system runs out of money and crashes.
You can't pay enough in taxes to pay your own salary, so where does the money come from?
