I don't believe in Communism a la USSR.
I do believe in Socialism a la many W-European countries.
I don't believe in limiting wealth, period, but I do believe that the poor shouldn't be left behind. On the other hand, I'm in a nation where the poor routinely have HDTV's and spinning rims, so I believe that social welfare mechanisms should be restricted to those who have fallen on hard times - not those who CHOOSE to remain poor.

As far was Western European nations are concerned, which one that has a population anywhere near the United States do you believe we should model ourselves after?
