I don't equate communism and taxation any more than the theory of evolution equates chimpanzees and human beings. Try and think in abstracts.

There is a basic conflict of root philosophies involved in this. Collectivism versus individualism. The moderate liberal thinks there is a "happy medium" somewhere. Maybe there is. I only know that I have yet to see a liberal in government say, "this is enough government control." Ever. And the more the government mucks with the system, the harder it gets for the system to work, and the more the government thinks additional interference is just what it needs.

To the current crop of Democratic leaders, the ideal size of the government is infinite. Unfortunately, the Republicans aren't that far behind any more.

This has been well-discussed by better writers than I. Keep evading it, it doesn't change the results.
