Workers Paradise?

Headline from 3/22: China ups taxes across the board
On April 1, everything from chopsticks to yachts will get more pricey. Luxury goods like watches will see the biggest rise. Officials want to stem the growing gap between rich and poor.

Huh? China is a Communist Country, a worker's paradise just like Cuba and Venezuela, there aren't supposed to be any rich and poor other than the Gap between the central government (rich) and the populus (poor).

Could it be that Communism, like any other religion, has been corrupted by the practitioners?

No where in the world will you find a country where the communist model has achieved the "promise" of Marx, Mao or the myriad of politicians and intellectual elites in this country. Yet they continue to ignore the facts and pursue their goal of enslaving us all in the name of "fairness" and "equality".

Capitalism is not perfect, although the US would be farther ahead if it wasn't dragging around the $8 Trillion weight from liberal ( read communist) policy from the last 80 years, but it is a far cry better to have the opportunity to succeed based on what you do than which family you were born into.
