What you and all the other blubbering, perennially ass-blasted republicans don't realize when you throw tantrums like the children in that video is that you don't even have enough candy to be worth taking.
In order for this stupid analogy to be accurate, it'd have to play out like this:
The adults have 10,000 pieces of candy. You're working your ass off to go trick or treating and at the end of the night you have 100 pieces of candy. Some other kid was lazy and retarded and only ended up with 60 pieces of candy.
The government comes along and takes 20 pieces of candy from everyone. The adults now have 9,980, you have 80, and the lazy kid now has 40.
The government's 60 pieces of candy are distributed as follows: 40 pieces are given back to the adults because Ayn Rand said whoever has the most candy carries the rest of society on their shoulders, creates jobs, and the prosperity trickles down because now they're going to give more candy to trick or treaters.
The other 20 are given to the lazy kid to keep him from egging their houses.
The adults now have 10,010 pieces of candy, you have 80, and the lazy kid has 60.
You start screaming and crying and making forum posts because the lazy kid got some of your candy. Meanwhile, the adults move their candy to an offshore account in the Caiman Islands and give trick or treaters the exact same amount of candy as they did before. In your world, you're a superstar because you worked so hard and got so much candy. Your meager analytical ability can't even comprehend the fact that the adults don't even have to work to get their candy, and that when people say inequality needs to be addressed, you're actually fucking stupid enough to believe they mean you.

Starting to think you're more deranged than iruinedyourday, or at least are misunderstanding my intentions, But at least smarter.
If i created my political opinions based on myself, what kind of douchebag would that make me? Well, id probably agree with iruinedyourday a lot more, because i sure do wanna put people in camps and have an interest in playing dictator. However, No power should ever be put in the hands of a man, but in the hands of a people. Inequality is hardly an issue. Does it bug me that desk humpers make 10x what i do? sure, but i couldnt give two shits because even though i prefer physical work i enjoy what i do.
The world would be a better place if everyone would just chill the hell out and Do as you do. But, under a socialist world, its Do as i do. Conformity to an extreme, Which only breeds hate and anger.
The fact is, Democratic Socialism is stealing.
