You can confiscate all the wealth over 200k of everyone without a close connection with Obama, give it to the poor and, after the drug dealers get their cut, the poor would in most cases stll be poor.

Taxing The Rich More Doesn't Make Society Fairer

Common sense answered this question years ago. I am sure that Dr, Sowell will simply verbalize more of the obvious.

This form of "fairness" is a red herring, pure and simple.

What's fair about half the population paying zero income taxes, without any skin in the game?
What fair about neglecting to demand a rational definition of "fairness" from Obama and his acolytes?

I simply ignore all mention of "fairness" from the radicals.

First of all, the argument is bogus. This is a scheme to raise the taxes on middle class people. If they really wanted them to “pay their fair share,” they would increase the capital gains tax.

[Mr. Jeeves]

"Life sends the message, "I'd better not be poor. I'd better get rich. I'd better make more money than other people." Meanwhile, politics sends us the message, "Some people make more money than others. Some are rich while others are poor. We'd better close that 'income disparity gap.' It's not fair!"

"Well, I am here to advocate for unfairness. I've got a 10-year-old at home. She's always saying, "That's not fair." When she says this, I say, "Honey, you're cute. That's not fair. Your family is pretty well off. That's not fair. You were born in America. That's not fair. Darling, you had better pray to God that things don't start getting fair for you." What we need is more income, even if it means a bigger income disparity gap." -- P.J. O'Rourke
