  I think he would not be happy about that because marx thought that all money is only there to dominate the proletariat. Im not proposing giving everybody tonnes of money. Im talking about a effective system to help the poor. I and most other people think that one of the things the stat has to do is to help poor people. Nowdays we do this in a really bad way and we make it really hard for them to get out off the system. Why would somebody that is unemployed talk a low paying job? He would because its not worth it if you get only a little be more money then when you stay unemployed and if they loose the job it talkes more then a month to get money again. Its economicly speaking extremly stupid way to do welfair. Friedmans negativ income tax was much better because you allways have more then you would if you didn't work but that system has some other problems. If you can come up with a better system tell it to me. If you think that the state should not be doing that at all say so. Dont tell im a marxist when I acctually stated that the idea is partly dirived from hayek. Hayek wrote one of the most inflential books against socialist ideas (the road to serfdom).
