    let me guess, in your world libNazis determine what Bill Gates deserves not the people who freely buy his products over other choices? Isn't that exactly how Stalin and Mao killed 120 million?? And there is the absolutely stupid assumption that LibNazis can spend Gates money better than Gates can. Did you ever wonder why Buffet gave his money to Gates rather than the libNazis in Washington??

    why on earth would a liberal use the word collective unless to conjure up images of 120 million Soviet and Chinese souls slowly starving to death? Of all the weird ideologies mankind has ever invented you hitch your wagon to the most evil of all by far. How on earth could you be here as a representative of pure evil?

    ?????? I assume you were referring to the forcible removal of my right to liberty? Or are you having a little trouble with your pronoun references again?

    They don't buy them freely. They buy them under duress, as their rights to liberty have been removed.
    No. They removed EVEN MORE of people's rights to liberty than capitalism does.
    Government-issued and -enforced privilege MADE it "his" money.
    Maybe because he didn't want it used to bomb brown people into the Stone Age for the profit of arms manufacturers and Blackwater?

    The "forgotten men" of the OP are in straitened circumstances because they have had their rights to liberty removed by force, without just (or any) compensation, for the unearned profit of rich, greedy, privileged parasites.

    the question was why do you use the word "collective" unless to sound like a Marxist?? Perhaps you are unaware that its a Marxist term, that Marxism killed 120 million, and that you are doing their bidding without knowing it?????
