Basically what you're proposing is to give more money to the government, because they know how to spend it. It's for the greater good right? If they have more money, they can cover pensions and benefits, help all those poor people who don't know what to do with their lives. Thats some real commie bullshit.
Uh huh. You'll notice that at the moment I'm not proposing any such thing, but yes - in general I believe in more progressive taxation. Regarding benefits, the vast majority of (non-communist) governments in the world have all cottoned on to the positive economic effects of supporting unemployed people long enough to find another job instead of letting them starve.
This also causes migration of the most lazy societies, like Gypsies, to countries with the best social care (currently Germany and UK).
