By the way, you never did provide any biblical verses that show Jesus would support your definition of communism.

Im aware that few people could possibly live in this life style, but my point is that Jesus talked of us trying to find a social life similar to communism.

If you are going to keep saying this, please provide scripture quotes to back up your statement. I have provided some that have backed up mine, you have provided zero.

As for the tax cuts, you are aware that following those there were huge economic depressions?

I can provide data that shows when the taxes were cut, revenues increased. I can also provide data is it relates to the capital gains tax, that when it was increased government revenues decreased, and when the capital gains tax was decreased, government revenues increased.

There has only been ONE huge depression, and taxes had nothing to do with it. Again, are you making up your “facts” again?

Are you defending the doctor that lead to the medical bills that could possibly lead several families into baank ruptcy? Because he had the oppertunity to attend that many years of higher education he deserves more money even though he doesn’t benefit society or anything? My point is that many, maybe not most, people with high incomes shouldn’t receive it.

Yes I am. But lets have it your way…no more doctors (at least no smart doctors you could trust your life too), so no more doctor bills. People under your system will no longer have to worry about doctor bills because they will be dead. We will have a whole bunch of construction workers and no doctors. Good system.

The false communism, while following some of the principles in Russia brought that region two hundred years up to date after the Zcars had failed to do so. Even that wasn’t complete communism it still lead to a lot of job creation and growth, this in my opinion nullifies your example of Gates making job and communism stiffling it.

No, it lead to a false economy of artificially high prices, shortages of goods and services, rampant poverty, and the collapse of the Soviet economy. Nice try, buy you have nullified nothing. Try again.
 
“I don’t get how you don’t get communism, everyone getting something that they can live off, because the whole nation is willing to pay taxes or take a more reasonable salary for the benefit of all. Generosity, love, and sharing right there if the people’s heart is in the right place.”

Maybe you don’t get it because you aren’t listening, or certainly don’t appear to be doing so. You don’t answer my question, which I’ve put to you several times, but I’ll repeat it again. Why do you choose Communism as the ideal, when its “ideals” are just a very poor copy of Christianity? Why must Jesus have been a Communist (in the ideal sense you seem to believe in)? These ideals are a copy of what He taught, so shouldn’t the question be, why aren’t idealistic Communists Christians?

Ah, now I’m starting to see your perspective. I don’t agree with it, but I understand your frame of reference.

My friend, many disagreements come about due to people arguing about a subject, not realizing that they have different definitions of that subject. You spoke in a previous post that your “facts” are based on common knowledge. Well, common knowledge on communism is based upon this definition I found here: dictionary.reference.com/search?r=2&q=Communism
*com·mu·nism n.
A theoretical economic system characterized by the collective ownership of property and by the organization of labor for the common advantage of all members.
Communism
A system of government in which the state plans and controls the economy and a single, often authoritarian party holds power, claiming to make progress toward a higher social order in which all goods are equally shared by the people.
The Marxist-Leninist version of Communist doctrine that advocates the overthrow of capitalism by the revolution of the proletariat. *

I don’t consider generosity, sharing, and love to be communism. I consider them to be values and virtues. They are values and virtues that I try to apply to my everyday life in a capitalist economic system. These virtues and values do not need to be mutually exclusive with capitalism, although to some people they may appear to be.

You may be the only person I have ever talked to that has your quite unique definition of communism. I would even consider that most people who call themselves communists do not share the same definition you seem to have.
