Plus you never answered the question. Do you believe in Jesus seeing that you quote him freely in an attempt to serve your own purpose?
He's not serving his own purpose; he's trying to pull the veil of Facist Capitalism from you eyes.

There is a huge difference from giving to the poor and having a socialist government take your money. I think you are disturbed for seeing these words that way.
That's why he said Socialism will never work in his FIRST post of the subject.

Socialism does not put everyone on an even footing. It destroys the human spirit and puts limits on freedom and achievement.
I actually kind of agree with this, not as extreme as you say but it does limit personal freedom. Obviously this is why it won't work. I do think that everybody should live by a socialist ideal on a social scale. I.E. People should help each other out when they need it financially or otherwise.

The whole idea and concept of America was everyone is on an even footing and treated equally in the eyes of the law.
That isn't actually true though, is it? People are still treated different based off of color and sex.

Anyone can be successful in America. All you have to do is work hard and take advantage of the oppurtunities the country has to offer. You can become a millioniare or a lazy deadbeat. The choice is up to the individual in America.
That's your opinion, ask anybody that had their job taken from them and sent to Mexico how easy it is to get back no their feet. And don't you think that the company that took the job from the employee should help them out some how with the new money their stock made when they moved their production to Mexico?
Funny it's kind of like a socialist state except instead of giving your money to the government to share with everybody else, you give your time(money) to the private company and they re-distribute it between their stock holders and leave you nothing.
It's Reverse Socialism!

That's freedom. I feel sorry for you because you don't understand that. I know immigrants who understand this very clearly and the sad thing is you were born here.
Blah, blah.

If you love communism and socialism so much.... There are a number of workers paradises around the globe that you can freely move to. Why stay here and complain about our system if it sucks that much?
Ah! The conservative's favorite response! Don't like it? Leave!
The thing is that our country is so close to greatness that a few small changes and we could lead the world to Utopia and make everybody as happy as we are. But I forgot, Capitalism isn't about sharing happiness, sharing is a socialist thing. And there's this article (number 5) in the constitution that says we can change the nation however we want as along as "We The People" vote that its a good move.
Oh, and I feel REALLY sorry for you and anybody as misguided as you.
