Take a look at how a government functions in a socialist country as oppose to a communist country. They are worlds apart.
Do you have any idea, what would happen to businesses, if someone try to argue that a graduate tax is discriminatory. You want a flat tax based upon income. The Supreme Court ruled that corporations are people. Businesses get to deducted all their expenses. People don't. We can't deduct what we pay for food, clothing, etc. To be fair, you would have to tax businesses on their sales, or their gross profit before expenses at the individual tax rate. That would probably increase taxes on every business.
Everyone that doesn't have their head up their ass is a liberal. By all means keep your head up there. You don't want to be called a liberal.
Property tax isn't the same for everyone. Businesses are given a break on property taxes to draw them into a city or state. Values of houses aren't revalued very year. Therefore, new construction is going to have a more accurate valuation than an older house. Rate may be the same, but the value isn't.
You try to throw out there that things that aren't charged equally are discriminating. That is total nonsense.
Taxes to fund programs for the needy aren't the same as donations to the church. No. they aren't. Programs that help the needy will go the needy. There is no guarantee that donations to the church will go to the needy.

Oh give it a break. I didn't say that communism and socialism is the same. YOu liberals go to the extreme with everything you say. I said you can't have communism without socialism. Do you just enjoy arguing about little details, looking for a little bitty crack? I was going to copy the definition of communism and socialism to this but decided that if you are too lazy argue with the proper knowledge then I would just allow you to make a fool of yourself. I will reiterate once more for your edification, you cannot have communism without socialism. You can have forms of socialism without necessarily being communist, but you cannot have communism without socialism. Socialism is a precursor of step toward communism. Sanders is a socialist that spent his honeymoon in the USSR. That does not make him a communist, but I am interested in knowing more about his ideology and if it is leaning in that direction. Not that I am interested enough to ever vote for him. Of course not.
You know, the rest of your blather is so totally ridiculous and stupid, that I don't have the patience to instruct you on your totally wrong post.
I will try to explain a bit for you, and hope that someone with more knowledge and patience than myself will further enlighten you.
Property taxes are the same for all home owners in regards to percentage to value ratio. I am not referring to any tax breaks/incentives given to business. And this has nothing to do with personal income taxes that we were supposedly discussing....before you tried to divert from the original post.
We are not a socialist country, even though you might feel that some of our gov run programs are socialist like. Social Security and Medicare were not socialist. If you did not put into SS, you did not receive from SS. Therefore, it is not considered socialism. If you want an example of a socialist type of service, you should have used the public school system.
If you are naive enough to think that the gov gives to the needy better than the Church, then you are really way out in space. I won't even go into that. I will allow someone else to correct you. Like I said, I do not have patience for the blatantly ignorant that refuse to accept correction.
