Common good
Apparently, the new slogan of the Democrat party is "For the common good."
It reminds me of the Communist party slogan, "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs."

No. But what Jefferson meant about pursuit of the common good is very different from what a modern Democrat means. For example, Jefferson's idea of a federal government was about 100 times smaller (let's use the federal budget as a percent of GDP for this statement) than a modern Democrat. The Democrats' implication of "For the common good" is that economically successful taxpayers need to be taxed at a higher rate, so that the Democrats can take credit for giving that money to low-income voters.
