[quote=Anonymous][quote=takoma]Concerning this idea that "spreading the wealth around" is socialism, I would appreciate an answer to this:

Since I believe that government programs should exist that help the needy, and I believe that people's taxes should help pay for government, I am obviously in favor of some degree of spreading the wealth; am I a socialist?  If so, are those of you who are not socialists opposed to all programs that help the needy, or opposed to the use of tax money to support those programs?[/quote]

Absolutely I support programs (yes, use of tax dollars) for the needy and want programs in place like Head Start to help children at an early age. I also support (with time and money) programs at my church that provide assistance to those who are homeless, struggling to feed their families, recent immigrants, etc. I also think total taxes paid by the average American are high enough as they are, so our government leaders need to priortize better and use the tax money they currently have in a more efficient way.
