    An independent view that is likely to appeal to some in all political
    parties.

    Or to summarise: the solution to all problems is... MORE COMMUNISM.
    This is why China doesn't have any of these social issues -- BECAUSE
    THEY ALREADY HAVE COMMUNISM.

    No communism there at all - a lot of people have an effective marginal
    tax rate over 39% - this proposal reduces the top tax rate to 39% for
    everyone, saves a lot of money spent in working out complicated
    entitlements, saves a lot of money with a very complicated tax system,
    and uses that lower cost to reduce poverty - where did you see any
    communism?

    Let us start with their leader, and the letters CCCP. They certainly think
    they are communists.

    What thread are you responding to, Gordon? The initials CCCP do not
    appear in the Pundit article, or in the irrelevant post by Willy
    Nilly.
