<<Their extraction was originally very easy and so most people were rewarded>>

You seem to have a strange sense of history. California Gold rush was "easy"? Going through the dust bowl to get to the "rich" west was "easy". Shall I name a few more? Naw, you'll twist it some how and call me a racist again, lol.

Steve, our wealthy investor class doesn't just own America, they own much of the world, thanks to our shoveling them money and them investing it. Let's take our share of the returns on that. Let's tax investment income as regular income, as we once did.
