Or did you mean that you like exploitation and inequality under capitalism too much to vote for a Democrat?

I do not advocate moving too far away from capitalism toward socialism because purely socialist societies haven't worked out that well. I do, however, advocate measures to address the exploitation and inquality under capitalism. We can still have a haves/have nots without this wealthy nation having soooo many people who are struggling to make ends meet.

Unless social mobility is impossible (which it is not) then I see no reason for the government to interfere with people's personal finances. I just can't stand the Democrats continually targeting the "wealthiest 1%" with all of their pointless tax proposals. They make the wealthiest 1% out to be evil or something just because they have been successful in life, my generation would call them "playa haters."
I am in favor of the fair tax and cutting government spending for just about everything. Just putting a simplified tax structure in place would save the government from the cost of running the IRS. The fair tax is the best solution to poverty since hard work.
To each their own though.
