I love the liberal world where every problem can be fixed simply by taxing some rich guy. Venezuela is a real-world (real time) example of what that sort of mentality breeds. Venezuela is sitting on the largest oil reserves in the world. Now citizens have gutted the zoo animals in a search for food. In your leftist utopia, what happens if you don't have enough recruits to form your non-lethal hunting squads? Do you compel people to serve? (Only the really fit, of course.) Leftists want to live in a free society - well, free for THEM, but not free for everyone else since other people will have to be forced to be police, or doctors, or educators - and forced to pay for it all - because FREE healthcare, college tuition and tactical swat teams.
