"Tax the rich
Feed the poor
Until there are
No rich no more"
I thought that it was the most ignorant comment I'd ever heard the first time I encountered it. How long has it been now? Thirty years or more?
Still stupid.

Unless you take it as critcism of leftist policies, then it's pretty funny. I doubt that's how it was meant, though.

Read it again, I think it's a slam at the socialists. along the lines of "yeah, here's a problem we can solve by taking some money from the rich ... oh wait! there are no rich any more, where will we get the money now!?" I always saw it as an indictment of the "throw money at it" crowd and the class-warfare fans. At least that's how I see it.

It is a basic truism. If you take from the rich to feed the poor until there are no rich anymore then how do you continue to feed the poor?
