1. You tax Bill Gates $100 billion. He can afford it. (what's Msft at today?) I think his net worth is less then $100bil and if he tried to sell any signifigant portion of his stock holdings MSFT and any other major holding would take a big hit. However these facts are irrelevant to your point. You could have replaced "Bill Gates", with "Mircrosoft", or "Bill Gates + the next 10 richest people in the US" or something like that, or imagined a hypothetical richer Bill Gates, or cheaper internet service. So in all honesty this post amounts to nit picking. Personally I would be against either plan, but I probably would agree that number 2 is less harsh then number 1. Tim
