re: I cry foul, however, when those who've already made it want to tax those who are trying to make it. Punish hard work so that only those of good fortune will win. Talk about the antithesis of class mobility.

So maybe we should just tax the rich, eh?


Well no, that's income redistribution.

Have you ever cried foul over the debt that will have to be paid back?

No again...since lower spending has eluded these "fiscal conservatives", the alternative is higher taxes.... A rat in a maze has a better chance.

JF, It's a lottery and luck if a Democrat/liberal works his way up from modest beginnings to great wealth... if a Republican inherits wealth it's OK. I think I get it now.

You're too funny, JF. Don't forget that I also want to steal from the poor and give to the rich.

So maybe we should just tax the rich, eh? Have you ever cried foul over the debt that will have to be paid back?

All the time. But on who's backs? The rich? Never going to happen. That's like asking the foxes to guard the hen house. The poor? Duh, they're poor, they don't have much to steal in the first place.

Like you keep reminding us, JF, it's the middle class that's going to pay. But what's your solution? More taxes that hurt the middle class more than the upper classes? Boy oh boy talk about dumb.
