>> Let me ask you this. At what level of wealth do you think an individual starts to have too much influence on the political system? What is really tough about this speculation is that at some point, you have to decide what to do about it. Successful businesses and individuals will naturally accumulate wealth. Perhaps you do it by, instead of our typical 55% death tax, take it all, or 90%. Then, Sam Walton could have just passed his shares on to ... the government. Bill Gates, instead of creating his foundation, could just fork over his MSFT shares to Obama. Never allow too much capital to pool in one place. Because you don't want any businesses employing a million unskilled people. We'd rather have them on unemployment, drawing benefits from the government. I don't know, Ten. The reasoning of the leftwingers on this is just pretty damned hard to follow.
