My intellectual friend, here is a quote for the week from today's paper, which is straight to the point:
"What he is actually proposing is a massive re-distribution of wealth from the middle class to the wealthiest few. It is, in fact, a form of class warfare on the behalf of billionaires." This is straight out of "All the King's Men", which I recommend as a great read, btw. But Al Gore is ignorantly playing on mass public ignorance with this type of thinking and pandering. It is ignorant pandering on its face. We know most tax money comes from 5% of the people. Only for pandering purposes is it "redistribution" to billionaires to take less. It reminds me of the commercial of the guy playing 1 vs 1 basketball against NBA players on coke cans, "You look weak out there, lethargic, pathetic." PS, I am no billionaire, nor top 5%er.
