In a way, socialism is as selfish as anything else, because the idea is that if you make sure that the people are at least well-fed and clothed, they won't go all French revolution on your ass...
That's over analyzing things a bit, and mixing absolutism with socialism.
Actually the massive growth in the wealth of the 1% and rising inequality in developed countries has nothing to do with exploitation of the lower and middle classes...
Actually, by taking away someones job you leave them more vulnerable to the shrinking job market. People need to pay their bills, and either will go on welfare, putting a strain taxpayers, taking jobs at lower salaries and having double income households. Those of the "middle class" or "lower class" are most effected by higher taxes, and especially if they have to make allowances for child care, and the stresses involved. I would call exploitative.
Good luck with that.
The Harris visigoths were bad enough ("Hey, you know what would really rub their noses in it? Let's make a car dealer minister of transportation! *Hearty Guffaws all 'round* Wait, wait, I'm not finished. Let's make Snobelen minister of education. He's a high school dropout!" *All vikings raise goblets in raucous cheer*). And Harris and Co. get every lick of blame they deserve for the sorry state of our current municipal malaise. But Hudak is a true believer of all of it. He'd be 7-fold worse. Lord help us all if Ontarians hand him the reins. This city will suffer even more mightily.
Please don't disparage Visigoths.
