"Socialism is the politics of envy, whereby the people who produce the wealth are despised by those who don't have the talent to do the same, as a result of their productivity they are often penalised by high taxation."
(I find this a rather strange definition, perhaps driven more by dogma than truth)
First of all is it not the worker who "produces the wealth"?
Most workers don't despise their employer, but they demand a fair share of what they produce.
   I'm not sure what taxes have to do with defining socialism except perhaps demanding that the wealthy pay their fair share.
