>>One way to test for correct logic is to push an idea to its limit. If it still makes sense at the extreme then the idea is sound. So, let's apply the test to capitalism and socialism.
>>
>>Capitalism (Republicans) - Reduces taxation to allow profits in business to afford the hiring of new people who become taxpayers
>>
>>Socialism (Democrats) - Increases taxation and spend the money on government programs to see that all have equitable income.

>>Extreme Capitalism - Reduces taxation to nothing. The government becomes small. New ideas are brought forth. New inventions are created. Citizens thrive. Everybody works.

>You missed some steps: Reduces taxation to nothing. The government disappears. Public works, including roads, schools, and garbage collection, fall apart. Public safety systems, such as police and firefighters, disappear. Children are not educated. Vermin proliferate. Mobs rule.
