Again, what people do with their own money is of concern to you why? Why do you care what someone else pays in taxes? How did any rich person prevent you from joining them? Please explain to me why we need a 3.9 trillion dollar Federal govt. and higher taxes on anyone?
It's always about envy, as you point out.
How many people in the US face starvation? How many suffer and die because they can't get any medical treatment? How man children are abandoned in the streets, or even the wild?
In America, "wealth redistribution" is about having what the other guys has, not about need. The progressive left throws out this gibberish, touting this and that as "income discrepancy", which is another way of saying "I get an SUV too!"
the same crowd, will throw down money to prevent development in Africa and the third world, where having an SUV is a ****ing pipe dream. They create nasty but neat sounding votes in the UN which say "Sorry, Africa, but you don't even get to have universal electricity because, well the world's heating up and we have to "save" it, and, well, somebody has to make the sacrifice"
While the likes of the all too comfortable Nancy Pelosi, the pampered Barack Obama, and a host of "celebrities" demand 50" screens for their supporters and illegals, child starvation is routine in much of the world, life expectancies are a fraction of the US....
But, we can't talk about those things.........
Why?
When we have all this crap about other people's money, how come the suffering never get mentioned?
