Tax the Super Rich now or face a revolution
Market Watch ^ | March 29, 2011 | Paul B. Farrell

Yes, tax the Super Rich. Tax them now. Before the other 99% rise up, trigger a new American Revolution, a meltdown and the Great Depression 2.

We know the Super Rich don’t care. Not about you. Nor the American public. They can’t see. Can’t hear. Stay trapped in their Forbes-400 bubble. An echo chamber that isolates them. They see the public as faceless workers, customers, taxpayers. See GOP power on the ascent. Reaganomics is back. Unions on the run. Clueless masses are easily manipulated.

Even Obama is secretly working with the GOP, will never touch his Super Rich donors. Yes, the Super-Rich Delusion is that powerful, infecting all America.

Here’s how one savvy insider who knows described this Super-Rich Delusion: “The top 1% live privileged lives, aren’t worried about much. Families vacation at the best resorts. Their big concerns are finding the best Pilates teacher, best masseuse, best surgeons, best private schools. They aren’t concerned with the underlying deterioration of America or the world, except in the abstract, because they aren’t directly affected by it. That’s not to say they aren’t sympathetic, aware, or don’t talk about the issues you bring up. They are largely concerned with protecting and enhancing their socio-economic positions, ensuring their families live well. And nothing you write about will change things.”

Nope, no problem. I'm just as glad to not have been there for the wedding.

But I'm almost ready to head out again, this time a short hop to San Francisco for the week.

Oh shut up. 90% freepers angrily rush to ejaculate their indignation before they even read follow up comments by OP and clarification. Same morons behind Salem Witch hysteria. Just keep doing the bidding of the money masters and push the greed is good mantra as Obama destroys our currency and economy. The one unforgiveable sin on here is daring to suggest that the super rich are getting away with murder. Under Obama George Soros and others in the Bilderburg group have made trillions of dollars while the clueless sheeple castigate anyone who suggests not everyone is paying what they should in taxes. Morons have no clue how much money has been extracted from our economy through purely LEGAL means, it is mind boggling, it easily dwards our national debt and trade deficit combined! The responses to this article have been very interesting as a sociological spectrum of Freepers. Way too many on here need serious psychiatric help, or they are so filled with hate and loathing they excoriate anyone who doesn’t follow the hyper-materialist mantra. I am 100% for capitalism, it is the best economic system and allows for the most prosperity. My comments were not a critique of capitalism, but rather a hyper narrow subset of capitalists who exploit and even rig the system for their own selfish benefit and for the interests of their hyper rich buddies. But no one seems to care, both Bush and Obama paid off the wall street bankers who are responsible for the recessions and the mortgage and credit bubbles, in fact most of them got bonuses. They took the bailout/stimulus money and have been using it to loan to their fellow banker friends at almost 0% interest while small business and the middle class still can’t get loans. It’s pathetic. Most of the replies in this thread were so infantile and outright hostile. Even after I explained I did not support the assertions people were making and further clarified about 1,000 more freepers just ignored all that and got their passive aggressive fix by attemping character assassination, and even wishing evil on someone who is on the side of liberty and truth. Shame on you. You will answer to God for your wickedness. Repent or burn in the Lake of Fire you fornicators, you blasphemers and liars! To the extremely small percentage of you who actually reserved a knee jerk judgement and read all my replies and engaged in actual civil, rational discourse I thank you.

Yes flat tax is the way to go and it’s Biblical.
