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.

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.

TJ, Where did you come up with that one. I think Property taxes are second behind head taxes as being the worst form of taxation. and "death" taxes are an abomination. What I am saying is that if your heirs happen to be lazy or incompetent, the tax system should NOT favor them as your head tax does. THAT is socialism. The true flat tax would tax them only on the money they make, however that money is made.NOwhere else. You and DG can sure put words into people's mouths. THAT is why it is imperative that nine politically appointed bureaucrats NOT be allowed to "interpret" The words of the constitution. I heard some rectal orifice the other day making the arguement that "back then", the word "shall" meant "might possibly do", and that the word "will" meant that it was imperative to perform the function mentioned. That is exactly assbackwards from how it was.But, they were trying to justify eliminating the right to keep and bear arms. I REALLY don't like folks who redefine words to fit their need at any given time. Peace and love, George.
