TJ, You're right in that respect anyway. But, You've got to understand, I don't take any of this stuff personal. I'm 56 years with no children and ain't planning on having any, so it's no skin off my nose whatever happens. I simply make the arguements from a factual point of view. I really think that this country has been good to a lot of people, and would like to see that continue for future generations to enjoy. And, a flat tax based on income from whatever source derived is the most equitable form of taxation ever devised. Religious organizations figured that out centuries ago. As far as my "politics of envy", I guess I could ask you about your politics of maintaining YOUR wealth for your future possibly slothful progeny and their possibly equally slothful progeny. That is what your head tax is designed to do. Maintain the status quo for future generations with no competition from "upstarts". Peace and love, George.
Why not ask me? I'd be happy to defend the doctrine of private property.
I guess you have a problem with passing on one's property to his heirs?
The commies have a problem with that too. Robert Reich has proposed a 100% death tax.
Georgie boy, people who love me don't envy my wealth or my ability to pass it on to my heirs, possibly slothful or not.
You sound more and more liberal with every post and I have to tell ya George, I don't love liberals.
