Communism is a system that requires everyone getting the same share regardless of their contributions. I think that is a bad way to do things. Making sure everyone has food, shelter, healthcare and clothing at a basic level while others have private jets and lambos is not communism, it's basic morality. I put in more than I will ever get out, it just doesn't bother me as much as it seems to bother some. I kinda like the idea of everyone being able to eat or sleep in a bed... even if they lack the aptitude to make it happen.

Sounds to me like he is taking tax write-offs; and maybe it is because interest income is taxed at a lower rate? I hate paying tax on money just because I put it in the damned bank.

On that we agree. A national sales tax makes much more sense. You ought to be taxed for buying something, not for having enough money to buy something.
