Is America Really a communist country?

Question

The government takes like 40% of our wages for taxes. We then have to pay for healthcare, unless we don't have jobs and live off of the system in which people that do work have to pay with their taxes for those people to get free healthcare. By law, the government can go in and take your land/home from you for no apparent reason. If you have not paid the insurance/taxes on your home and it catches on fire, the fire department doesn't have to put out the fire. All of these things and many more were brought up in a Buisness Law class, so I ask, is America really a communist country?

Answer 1

By the answers you receive, you can tell who's had business courses and who haven't.....

Yes, the United States has slowly been turned, for all practical purposes, into a socialist state. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Mandatory Insurance, Registrations, Licenses, Permits....you've got it. The government lets us keep our delusions of a free market while they pull the strings.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing people he didn't exist.

Answer 2

It started as a Constitutional Confederacy,
After the Revolutionary war it became a Constitutional Republic,
After Lincoln's War of Aggression it became a Tyranny,
After the Federal Reserve Act it became a Kleptocratic Tyranny,
Under FDR it became a Socialist Kleptocratic Tyranny,
Under Clinton it became a Corrupt Socialist Kleptocratic Tyranny,
Under Bush 42 it became a Corrupt Clandestine Socialist Kleptocratic Tyrannical Police State,
If a Democrat is elected in '08 it will become a Murderous Corrupt Clandestine Socialist Kleptocratic Tyrannical Police State,
If a Republican RINO is elected in '08, (see above)
If Ron Paul is elected he'll be assassinated by the Murderous Corrupt Clandestine Socialist Kleptocratic Tyrannical Police State and there will be new "elections" (but our choices will be, what, Guiliani, Hitllery, Hussein and McCain? Yea, some choice)
.

Answer 3

Sounds like things are a bit off track in your business law class. We are far from communist. Check out the definition on wikipedia. We are moving more and more toward socialism as a result of "entitlements" taking 60% of each tax dollar. You have the liberals to thank for that - it's a good way to get votes - give away something - in this case OPM (other people's money).

Answer 4

If you actually experience a communist country you wouldn't be asking this. Communist countries are way different. Talk to someone that has lived in one and you will see what I am talking about. There is a lot of information that doesn't make it out of those countries because it is blocked.

I don't know where you got this information about the fire department not putting out a house. It isn't true. Might want to get all your facts straight.

Answer 5

Taxes for the average person is less than 8% in most states.
We hold free elections.
We do not pay for others healthcare , that is called redispuation of wealth,punishing the successful to pay the bills to the people who have made bad choices in life.

By law the government can,but it seldom happens,when they do they give you twice what you're house and land is worth in coverage.

If you do not pay taxes,the firestaion is under penalty of law to put out any fire in their range. It dose not mater,they do not look at you're tax record before dispatching.

I don't know who told you the opposite.

Communism has never come to power in a country that was not disrupted by war or corruption, or both.
–John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Communism could work only in Hell, where they already have it; and in heaven, where they don't need it.
-Ronald Reagan

Answer 8

No! You have it way too good to be living in a communist country. I lived in one. How's this, by law the government can do anything it wants without reason, including starving you. My parents stood and slept in line for days to get a pound of sugar, which was supposed to last us a month. Same thing for bread, oil, meat, or just about anything else. You have no idea what it means to have your rights removed. So stop complaining.

Answer 9

It isn't a democracy because the popular vote counts for nothing and the politicians are becoming less answerable to the people.

Answer 10

Not yet, but with the ever growing behemoth that is the government who knows what the future holds.
