Redistributing income is common in the U.S. It happens in taxation, welfare, public services, land reform, monetary policies, confiscation, and other ways. This may seem normal at first, but if you graded an exam so that all students got C's? No, it would not. Say that Debra studied for this exam for 14 hours, took notes, and carefully studied the reading. Then suppose Jim never even opened the textbook and didn't study for a minute, but he got a C with Debra. Does that seem fair?
The same thing can happen at jobs if you are working twice as hard as your partner but you both get the same pay. This happens all the time in modern society and has become normal to us all because the government makes it seem normal. If incomes were solely based on how hard you worked, America wouldn't be billions of dollars in debt, U.S. citizens would be richer, and the overall economy would be more prosperous. The reason for this is that people would stop slacking off at work, which means more work would get done and more people would get paid more.
How will communists ever change to capitalism if they are not legally allowed to change in their country?
