With all the comments and all the "likes" to those comments, I am really getting the impression that many of you folks feel you have a right to commandeer assets from anyone you choose "for the public good."
Basic services and programs can be funded without having the rich become middle class like you and I.
Is there no limit to your greed for seizing the assets of others?
You do understand the irony of this statement, do you not?
Your whole system of existence requires someone who is productive from whom you can expropriate wealth. What happens when those productive individuals decide not to play your game any longer? What do you do then?
It helps if companies aren't rewarded with wealth by cutting wages and shipping jobs overseas. You talk about greed. It cuts both ways.
All we are asking for is an economy that is fair for everyone, and a government that is able to provide basic services for all people. We have nothing against people getting rich. What we are against is an economy that serves the uber rich at the expense of the middle class.
