I guess I prefer the oppresive and unfair capitialist system, versus penalizing the smart, talented, hardworkers, go getters, etc. There is a big difference between helping your neighbor and having the government just take it anyways. I like the freedom aspect, but I guess that is just me.

 

Nice twist on teaching kids to share. ;)

Again, there's a middle ground between hyper-capitalism and hyper-statism.

 

Criticism of one style of economics does not a hyper-socialist make.

Sure, and if the article had actually stated that is was about sharing, and not an exericize against the uber-evils of captialism, I might believe that for about a second. I don't know how much more clearly the intentions needed to be stated for that to be obvious to all.

Exactly.

 

This wasn't about sharing. Or teaching social responsibility. Or kindness towards others.

 

It was about displaying the evils of capitalism and power.
