You will have grown up and become a conservative Republican chastising hippie youth for their crazy ideas!

Please tell me you've thought this through. I don't want socialism (more specifically communism).

The main reason being, that if you take away people's incentives to work harder to achieve more out of life, then you have people working for no reason which leads to people having jobs, but essentially doing no work because there is no incentive to do so.

A couple of cases in point. Look at the fall of the USSR. This was caused in large part because of the central system of directed production, and no matter how hard the workers - worked, they achieved no noticeable gains.

Another case... look at China which has been making great strides towards a capitalist economy [note my statement only to the economy]. There GNP has been in double digit growth percentage wise.

Numbers from 1994:
China 12.8

And the figure below which represents GDP [not a far-cry from GNP] gives you an idea of what sort of growth China is experiencing after moving towards a capitalist economy, away from the centrally driven principles of communism/socialism.



I really hope, that you didn't mean what you said up above about everyone getting paid an equal amount. It could have serious repercussions.

Lol, dont take anything I say seriously

I am sure you have seen the age/income/family breakdown and timeline thing right? I was not always a Republican either. Although I am more of a Libertarian actually, but they just can't get their act together......

Let me give you a real laugh. I am a card carrying conservative Democrat! I registered Democrat at age 18. I'll probably be a Republican in the next election as the Dems are moving much too far to the left for me! Of course that means I'll probably have to give up my post on my township's planning board, but it will be worth it!
