The idea that somehow the world owes you a living because you exist.
A system that is built on fantasy and economic ignorance.
A system of selfishness and envy disguised as equality and compassion.
Where the Government controls the means of production and turns everyone into slaves for The State.
The delusion that you can cure poverty by making everyone else poorer.
An idea so bad that they ignore the obvious drawback.
The Rich can just pack up their businesses and their wealth and move somewhere else causing the country's wealth to run out.
