>That's a common theme among the left. Success is "winning the lottery." Therefore it needs to be taxed as such. No, that's not it. Success is not "winning the lottery." The scenarios you paint are equated to "winning the lottery" because they're so rare. I asked you this before: Message 29193108 "OK, well, let's set parameters here instead of playing in hypotheticals. Who are the people we're really talking about? People that make, say, between $0 and $200K in most years and suddenly make, in income (not capital gains), between $750K and $2 million in a single year? Let's establish what we're talking about." All you gave me was some BS about "utopia." When it seems like you're the one who's living in a world that doesn't really exist. Got any numbers? >This is the Fauxcahontas mentality, that people owe a large part of their success to big government. This has nothing to do with that. This is about having a functioning economic system. -Z
