I'd put people that think like you in a commune if you didn't want to work for your desires if you were my pet.

Edited to add: Limit voting to people that paid "real tax", tax above and beyond SS/Medicare... bring a tax return where you show you paid actual tax and then you vote, otherwise deal with what the producers say you should get.
That would be fine with me. I'd be one of the "producers". I wouldn't want to be anyone's pet. I'm just saying that those that make huge amounts of money should be required to give some of it to those that need it. Or maybe to starving kids in Africa or something. I know that's an ideal, though. Real people are more like you and want to keep everything they have no matter how much other people are suffering.
