If you tax everyone based on the fact of whether or not they are able to provide for the "basic necessitiies" then there would be no incentive to live above that. There would be no incentive to DO BETTER. That is the same economy as DEFEATIST COMMUNISM. I think most of the American Public is informed enough to see the difference and recognize this OBVIOUS class warfare game.

"But when you make a lot of money you've got the necessities covered, you're spending the money on luxuries and if you're just spending on luxuries then you can afford to pay a higher percentage for the privilege of living in this country. If you're patriotic in this country you support it..."

Gee, it's now patriotic to believe in socialism. And I thought Dean was the poster child for political suicide....

Wesley Clark reminds me of a character running for President played by Martin Sheen at least 20 years ago (tempted to say it was "The Reincarnation of Peter Proud," but could be totally wrong).

Anyway, the main character in the story had a premonition that Sheen as President would send nukes on a whim and tried to do something to prevent his election. Either this character or someone else tried to kill Sheen at a campaign appearance. Sheen grabbed a baby and used it as a human shield to protect himself. No one was hurt, but pictures taken of his actions finished his campaign.

Wesley Clark is perfectly capable of both types actions (sending nukes on a whim AND using a baby as a human shield).

Ah, Wesley, Wesley, Wesley...

And what of the poor working class stiffs that MAKE the "luxuries"? Yachts and limosines aren't built and assembled by millionaires, you dolt.

Wow....

This is going to fly like a toolbox.

Clark promotes Communism in its purest form...and no one in the "mainstream" media even catches it.

Dear Lord, this man is dangerous.

Even if he doesn't win the Pry-Mary, the 'Toons will still more than likely keep him around.

Scary, scary stuff...

Wasn't it Mondale who offered to raise taxes and went down in a blaze of doo-doo on election day?

Those who do not learn from history are destined to repeat it.

Fools.

I didn't think anyone this dumb actually existed
