The thing commies always forget, is that somebody has to actually work to create wealth, i.e. produce something worthwhile from shit.

This is where the government (legal mafia) places itself in the middle to "tax" (extort) from the productive effort.

They then take their cut, but try to spread as much around as possible so people don't notice their theft, it is now "welfare" because the poor need to be taken care of.

Define "poor".

Poor & parasite start with a letter "P".

If you look closely enough, welfare is a tiny percentage of what has been stolen. Why do politicians & senior civil servants have 2 / 3 / 4 houses?

Why are politicians in comparison to civil servants paid so much?

Look here, not there.
