    Its called Communism/Socialism. Ask the Soviet Union how that worked out for them. I wrote a my senior high school English paper on the subject in 1962. The experts then said we were headed to Socialism. Quit reading it years ago because most of what they predicted has come to pass. Used to be the American dream. Now being rich is evil.

    I don't know but if they feel so strongly about it why have they not sent me some of their money?

    They are not telling you to give it to anyone. They want to take it from you and give it to those who they think are more deserving.

    If you don't believe there is income inequality, you must be in the 10% richest group. When these people control 90% of the wealth, there is darn little to go around for the rest of us.

    While your at it figure in a fair flat tax with no tax havens hidden in your portfolio for wages on off shore companies for the rich so there is no inequality of supporting your Country.[:D] I know it just a pipe dream right!

    If crooked politicians, sleazy religious leaders, drug dealers and other assorted types of scoundrels can live like royalty and sleep with super models than having equality is AOK with me!!

    I also want to drive a Ferrari and play hide the sausage with really hot 18 year olds!! Where do I sign up??

    Of course there is income inequality. Why should someone who is lazy and not too bright have the same income that I do? I have worked hard and smart most of my adult life, and am still working hard at 70 to maintain a nice lifestyle. No way in hell that a lazy dumb person deserves to enjoy the same lifestyle that I have and continue to work for. If I had chosen to work harder and longer I could have been a lot better off than I am today but I sure as hell don't think that my income should match that of the guy that chose to work longer and harder than I did to accomplish that. Jealousy is a sin. Get over the fact that there are those who are more well off than you are.

    OK, maybe I was being greedy. How about a Lexus and a decent looking 30 year old??
