You say you are not a socialist, and because you are a millionaire you are a capitalist.

And somehow this precludes you from wanting fiscal policies that benefit society?

That makes no sense to me.

We are all capitalists, and I think you are misunderstanding what a socialist is in a democracy.

America cannot be a socialist country. That is impossible.

What people call socialism, is really nothing more than an enhancement of the social welfare system to help the people who need help and therefore better our society.

And I don't see how being a millionaire would make one not want to help the people who need help, and help to make the society healthier and happier, even if is means raising taxes.

I would think an old millionaire would not mind raising taxes as much as people less fortunate!?

Wharf: I own property and have both an IRA and a 401. I also have a multi-million dollar business on my property, so I'm a capitalist.
