Heard it. The guy was alledging that those making megabucks need to be taxed at ninety percent. That will create employment. We have to narrow the gap between haves and have nots.
I never once heard him talk about the rate at which the mega-rich are now being taxes.
His message of covetousness is an easy sell. I, too, don't understand the reason for rewarding these people with multi-millions but he didnt' convince me that he knows anything about building a prosperous economy.

True.. He failed to mention the Top 50% of Earners Pay 96.54% of the taxes and the poor pay none.. In fact they get money back.
He doesn't get that it's none of his or the Governments business how much people make.. It's common knowledge that punitive taxation will only cut jobs.
We have Charities and from what I see Charities do a much better job than Government at helping people in need.
