[QUOTE="Flipx99, post: 7930020, member: 562352"] audio - I'll take a crack at why he probably said that -- It's isn't fair that some people can have millions in the bank earning millions in interest while other people go hungry through no fault of their own. And the easiest way to equalize the situation is to confisgate some of the millionaire's wealth through taxation. -- It does sound good. The millionaire won't miss the money that much and it will significantly improve the livilihood of the poor. The problem I have with it is that I think of lottery winners and how often they go broke. That clues me into thinking that it's not that we can dump a ton of money on poor people and they won't be poor anymore. If that were the case, I'd support such tax rates myself.
