John, penalizing the productive is never a good idea.

This sort of quasi-Marxist rhetoric may resonate with some pressure groups, but most Americans want to get ahead, and do better, and they instictively know that giving more of their hard-earned money into the endlessly hungry maw of government is not going to improve their lot in life.

It's like the Lotto in my state- every time I ride by the billboard ( rented at taxpayer expense ) that loudly crows

"____ more million in the Lottery!"

... I always mutter, "great, that's ___ more million less people have to spend on their own families..."
