   >>>>>>>>>>>>>   
   >>>>>>>>>>>>> Under communism, you don't own anything, and you do not keep   
   "the fruit

   >>>>>>>>>>>> If that were true, then the fruits of their labor would also be

   >>>>>>>>>>>>   
   >>>>>>>>>>> That's where the problem is - there's no incentive to work hard, or   
   >>>>>>>>>>> work at all, when you get on the State dole. The same low
