Do socialists and wealth spreaders believe that all money and property is community money and property?

It is implicit in the “spread the wealth” statement and the ideals of socialism that you are not the true owner or your money and property. The government or the collective is the owner and they can do whatever the want with it, whenever they want.

Is that America?
Al, it is EVERYONES RIGHT to hold onto however much of their OWN PROPERTY they want to hold on to!
Carpe, incorrect analogy, quit parroting lefty talking points and answer for once.
No, they don’t. Socialism is different from Communism.
Tell it to Palin
Apparently Obama thinks so, yes.
This man (that would be Barack Obama) thinks that it is the government’s job to decide who gets how much wealth? Maybe it’s just me, but I sort of had this idea that wealth was earned. You worked hard, you pursued an education, you developed job skills, you made good decisions, you took some chances … and if you held your mouth just right your hard work would lead to wealth! Well that’s just not the way it is done anymore. Can any of you cite an instance where Barack Obama has touted the benefits of hard work and said that a person is entitled to the fruits of his labors?
If ever there was a wealth envy, class warfare candidate, this would be the one. He actually laments the fact that the Supreme Court hasn’t come down with some ruling for what he calls “economic justice”; a ruling that would let bureaucrats in Washington use the police power of the state to seize wealth from the unfavored and give it to the favored. Well, since the Supreme Court hasn’t done it, it will just have to be up to him.
No they believe it’s government’s money and property.
Government isn’t the same thing as the community.
The market is the same thing as the community.
You have a couple of things wrong here. It is the communist ideology which assertsthat the government is the owner of goods and services, concentrating both into as few hands as possible. Socialism asserts that every person has to put forth equal amount of effort and work and in return, shares equally in the resources they produce. Neither one describes America, though we are quickly approaching the former with the government purchase of stock in private companies.
