Are you asserting that the graduated income tax was not originated by Marx and Engels?

I'm asserting that insinuating the country's most high profile arch-capitalist is a crypto-Marxist deserves nothing but scorn and derision.

Well, for an “arch-capitalist” he sure has had a whole lot of crazy statist, socialist, leftwing positions over the years.

And he still thinks it’s the government’s job to “take care of everybody.” He said it flat out in his speech in Phoenix. And the context of his remarks was health care. Then he said, “sorry conservatives,” or something like that.
