I don't find it strange that cummunists would back a candidate who talks like a socialist. What I find completely baffling is how a wealthy person like Kerry and many of his millionaire supporters can actually believe the idealistic drivel that drips off of their glib tongues.
If they are so intent on improving the human condition, why don't they use their wealth to help deserving individuals instead of spending so much on luxuries for themselves. In other words; why don't they put their money where their mouths are? My conclusion is that they are either hypocrites, liars, or are suffering from some guilt complex.
My own view is that rich people have a perfect right to live like rich people and the fact that they spend their money on luxuries, provides employment to produce the luxuries and services they consume. Just consider how many good paying jobs are created everytime a gazillion dollar yacht or mansion is built. The taxes that are due on these luxuries is enough to support a lot of unfortunates and deadbeats, so it just keeps getting better.
Bottom line here is if you are rich, live like you're rich, spend your money on luxuries, create jobs and don't apologize for it. But please don't try to shove socialism down the unwashed masses' throats. Maybe, just maybe, some of the more enterprising among us will achieve some success and enjoy some degree of luxury ourselves. Under socialism or communism, the chance of that occurring is close to zilch.
