Thus perpetuating the vicious cycle? Maybe the whole system needs to be re-vamped. maybe people need to stop looking out for their own damn pockets. But hey, capitalism's the american way right?
then go to france, or greece.

I dont mean to sound condescending, but did you just say you want to tax mulit-millionaires at 90%? are you that jealous? envious? Ok lets eliminate ALL the millionaires in the USA. Lets take all their money.

What do you think that will do to unemployment? You cant complain about the evil rich on one hand and then expect the economy to get better. Fact is THEY DO MORE FOR THE ECONOMY THAN ANYONE ELSE. How many jobs is Bill Gates responsible for? Richard Branson? Steve Jobs? Steve Forbes? Donald Trump? Lets take all their money and throw all the people they employ away.

I mean if they created their own wealth, why SHOULDNT they keep it. You think Donald Trump would keep employing his thousands of workers for $50,000 a year? No he does it cause it makes him wealthy, and he enjoys the perks with being "rich". he also donates millions of dollars to charities. Look at bill gates, he donates MILLIONS of dollars a year to charities. Where would that money come from if the govt took it all away?

The fact is our society is built to have people that get ahead, innovate, make MILLIONS AND BILLIONS. You get paid based on your talent. So if you suck at life, you dont get to own a ferrari. Some people get lucky and accumulate wealth easily, some earn it through more conventional methods, some NEVER get ahead. Thats how you have a balanced society. This utopian dream is bullshit and will never happen.

Lets say your employer lays you off tomorrow because they increase his taxes 10%. Will you be thankful then?

I just cant believe some of the unfounded idiotic statements people make. Its easy when you make $20,000 a year to look at the guy making $200,000 a year and saying "GIVE ME MORE OF WHAT YOU HAVE". Its harder to actually try and get to his level.

Which is what our society has become, a bunch of complainers and whiners
