Requiring the wealthy to pay taxes is not Socialism
Social programs is not Socialism
It is certainly Marxist dogma to tax different people different amounts based on what the nonworking Marxist believes he should hand out free..

1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
So...nothing to do with Marxism? I guess not if you dont consider Marx a Marxist.
