Taxing the rich is so stupid. Man look at the rich. If they had that extra 100 mil or so, they would spend it on plants and equipment. The same goes for businesses. Businesses don't hoard money, they spend it, creating jobs and wealth.

Another thing which I am daily criticized on is my view of welfare. Here is mine: You get two years. In that two years you have to apply to a job once a month. After a year and a half, if you have not found a job, you get a stack of resumes mailed to you from McDonald's, Wendy's, Arby's blah blah blah, and you go get a job. Then after a few years experience, you could probably get a low end job at some factory, and work your way up. My mom was pregnant with me when she was nineteen. We never saw a welfare check. We were lucky to have a TV. We live on Mac and Cheese and Eggs. We didn't have luxuries. Now I sit in front of a PII-233 souped up machine and I don't ever regret her making that decision. Welfare is for the weak.
