The person who made the lemonade should enjoy the proceeds from it, and the person who picked the lemons. Not some mafia guy who does nothing but take the proceedings.

What about the guy who built the road to bring the lemons and sugar, and the guy who built the pipe to bring the water?

That would be the government I suppose, I do support income tax(all surplus money that comes in, in some form or another).... I would like it to be flat tax of say 25% for everyone, no exceptions. 25 cent per dollar.

I think we should "build the ways together"...

I believe in socialism, as in cooperating, making and taking care of the necessary together...

They were paid for their efforts, and their claim ends there.
 
No, I dont mean the government, I mean rich people.. Who "skim the milk".
You'll have to be far more clear as to what you mean and how you think this applies here.

Well, the man who grows the lemon should be paid, the one who picks them, the one who transport them, and the one who sells them. The mafia, (the rich) who just skim from the work, dont deserve to take part.

Not really, its on the of core ideals of communism, and its definetely one of the best ones. About the "upper class" or the unproductive burgeoise who keep the rest of the population hostage and steal the value of their labour. This is true, its not just some "communist" conspiracy. The rich ARE stealing the labour from the masses, undeniable fact.

I believe this must end.
