The next thing you know people are paying so much taxes that they can't afford to shop at a new store if they wanted to. The disgruntled customers get apathetic as a defense against their helplessness. If they get hit by a car because they were stupid enough to start chasing them, Master will take them to the vet. The Old Grouch ain't known of a young dog yet that didn't try to jump or dig under a fence to get out even if you are taking real good care of him. Some of them have a tendency to howl at night or whine if you don't pet them enough.
Socialism is one of the most insidious evils ever devised by man.
It is a system where a central governing authority takes everybody's money, throws it in one big pot, and forces people to fight each other for their share of the loot. Both systems are based on the theory that if people with more money than they need give their excess money to those who are needy, equality will be achieved. The Old Grouch is all for a minimal amount of equal rights. These rights used to be called natural rights and include stuff like everyone having the right not to be murdered, robbed, raped, or enslaved. But everybody doesn't stay equal.
