Z,
I ran some of your posts on this topic by an economist friend of mine a few weeks ago and he said that your examples were "basically winning the lottery."

That's a common theme among the left. Success is "winning the lottery." Therefore it needs to be taxed as such.

I argued this before, and I'll argue it again. I don't want to be taxed as if I just "won the lottery," and I'm pretty sure most successful people, especially owners of small businesses, don't want to be taxed that way, either.

This is the Fauxcahontas mentality, that people owe a large part of their success to big government.
