... theft from the middle class?...

So if it only redistributed wealth from the mega wealthy would you be more inclined to support it?

We aren't there now, because you don't see politicians and the rich being dragged out of their houses and strung up in the street.

We won't be there until the upper echolons are actually in fear of losing evrlerything.

We won't be there until people aren't content with squabbling on internet forums until they get tired and go to bed.

Also, don't misunderstand me. I don't care much for Socialism or any -ism. I'll survive and make do regardless of what the idiots who are in charge are pushing. I view most things as an inconvenience, and an inconvenience is just that something I can't be too bothered to worry about. Until I have people making a racket in my yard or being a real threat to my way of life I'll be alright. I don't need to belong to any group of people. I've been just fine with the few people I've been close to up until now, and I'm not expecting to start caring about people in general any time soon. I look after myself quite well, and I expect other people to be able to take care of themselves as well.
