Now imagine that the richest 2 or 3 percent were instead to vanish over night? Would we even notice it as we rose and went to work? As far as I know I would still have a job and my business would still run as usual. Clueless and wrong. It may take a few days, but you'd be out of a job by the end of the month. He obviously has no idea how the economy, how businesses, really run.
Uh, with 10% of the population paying what, 70% of taxes. And the bottom 50% paying NOTHING, this guy would go to work for about 2 weeks and wonder where his paycheck went, Why the business closed,why schools are closed, there's no police or firemen, nobody to pay his unemployment, why the utilities are being shut off, etc.
Does this cretin understand WHY he has a job? Because some "rich guy" had an idea and started the business. The "little guy" and the poor didn't.
