We should tax and tax and tax and tax and tax the 1% ...
... until they're only fabulously wealthy.

3. It could definitely be to their own advantage in the long run

I'm sure that many hyper-rich people in tumbrils on their way to the guillotine in 18th-Century France wished they had paid a bit more in taxes throughout the years.

6. If we ended "Empire USA" and brought the troops home, $$$ would be available...

I don't mind tax increases once the military spending and flexing of muscle abroad is brought back to reality...until then? **** it, let the rich get soaked for their garrisoning of the planet and misuse of military power. After that, we can have a real conversation about legitimate taxation rates and use of the country's wealth but not before...

Start with hedge fund managers and capital gains taxes. There are plenty of places to go after that too.

In other words "Never me!"

9. There is a law of diminishing returns, here...

... but basically, I am fully in favor of the wealthy paying a large percentage of tax. "Fair Share" my foot, I want them to pay a great, horking unfair share. Take a million from somebody who makes two mil a year, that still leaves them with more income in one year than most of us will see in our entire lifetimes.

11. So the issue isn't paying for social goods...you just don't like wealth.

15. That's right...

... but I can't believe I just witnessed a "Democrat" defend the 1% on this thread. WTF is up with that?

Tax and tax and tax and tax and tax and tax and tax the rich. I like the sound of that, Scuba.

What do you expect from a party elite?

When there's lots and lots of people working past retirement age--and not necessarily because they want to "keep busy," not out of choice--maybe it's time for the comfortably-retired Scuba to give up some of his for the less fortunate.

For the first time, the howling mobs on both sides are motivated almost entirely by jealousy and class envy.

I know a couple of great "laboratories" where that was done. You can pick your socialist paradise, Venezuela or Zimbabwe!

I am sure a lot more poor Girondists lost their heads than the hyper-rich. The DUmmie ought to remember this because a good portion of revolutionary violence is often directed at other revolutionaries once the revolution ends.

Bingo! After purging the Kulaks and starving millions by intentional government-caused famine in Ukraine, Stalin purged the "Old Bolsheviks" (1934), the Communist Party generally, and the Army (the leaders who beat off the Japanese in Siberia made themselves too dangerous to keep). If Glorfie sees his/her sanguinary wet dream fulfilled, his/her head might be next on the chopping block.

Old DUchebag yells at clouds.

However, I am definitely warming up to taxing the shit out of big time leftist technocrats, bankers, and hedge fund managers. Not much we get from the federal reserve devaluing our currency and giving it to them to prop up failed socialist black presidents and the democrat party.
