Re: Should every poor person have to give a pound of their own flesh to a rich person

the rich pay more because they are purchasing a society in which to make wealth for themselves. without society, most of the top one percent wouldn't have an environment conducive to wealth generation. and without society, the vast majority wouldn't allow such a small percent to own such a large percentage of the resources.

the rich get a pretty good deal, and would still get a pretty good deal if the top rate were set at what it was in the 90s. that we should do this is intuitively obvious.

And once you take their wealth...THEN what? Your federal government has already proved money doesnt create jobs or sustain wealth and they are REAL good at running up debt. Jack up the taxes, the wealthy will simply invest in foreign markets.

the socialist definition of redistribute means to earn wealth while ignoring the real definition-the government taking wealth from those who earned it and giving it to others to buy their votes.... ridiculous ! straight from rush limbaugh...
Bull feces

Overcharging for goods and services is NOT "creating" wealth.

taxing the wealthiest at 1990s rates is hardly "taking their wealth."

I'll say it again...if you are a part of that 47%, the 'biggest loser' and the main cause of failure is the man in the mirror. You can bitch about the successful and wealthy all you want. At the end of the day? You might consider kicking your own ass. Hell...you cant even blame it on not having driven and motivated/successful parents because it is still your fault.

Thats not what you said...so I was playing along. Take ALL their wealth...it doesnt make you less of a failure.

That horrifying economic situation we had under Clinton....


So, the question I think that needs to be answered to make this poll work is what in the hell is a rich person going to do with a pound of my flesh? Like, grind it into a pulp to feed to cows?

You fool. You've given them a taste for humans.
