I certainly share their sentiment.

Taxes should reflect expenses. Look what is happening in Greece, who
thought otherwise. Low taxes are a gimmick, since debts cannot grow to
the sky, eventually something will have to be done.

I vaguely remember reading an article that said if somehow the all the
money the richest people had was redistributed evenly among the
population of the country, the yield to each person would be
surprisingly small. Does anybody have any clearer memory of that? Didn't
get anywhere with Google so far.


Nope..couldnt find it.

Though I did find an interesting factoid..

If every adult on the planet was given a 1500 sq foot home and placed
all together...it wouldnt fill up Texas.

"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost
