Left-wing crank Jane Fonda lent her support to President Obama’s “tax-the-rich” mantra by recounting that “all the rich people I know favor higher taxes.”
Fonda disdained the option of voluntarily paying more. “Sure, we could freely hand over more money if we wanted to,” she admitted. “There’s nothing stopping us from giving the government more of what we have. The problem with that, though, is that the volition would still be in the hands of the individual. People could still opt not to give.”
“What this country needs is a collective redistribution of wealth,” Fonda continued. “It shouldn’t be anyone’s option to decide how much of his or her own wealth to keep. That decision should belong to the government. It’s a matter of principle. Do we want to live in a world where the individual charts his own selfish course? Or do we want a society where the distribution of output is socially determined? Those of us on the right side of this moral divide stand with the President in his quest to take from those who have and give to those who need.”

Excuse my language but.....then STFU and do it!
Wow. I always chuckled that she was a commie for going to North Vietnam for a visit during the war. But after reading that it’s pretty obvious that she really IS a commie.
Traitors should have to give up their right to tell us what to do....maybe N. Vietnam would like her opinion.
“all the rich people I know favor higher taxes.”....
And all the people you know are Hollywierd nut bars!...
Ahhh.. another badger floated on the ether. :)
So it’s wrong for 1% to dominate the economy, but they should decide tax policy?
I don’t want their money taken out of the private economy. I don’t care what they want.
Just wondering, if all the rich people she knew didn’t want to pay any taxes, would that make it the best policy?
Darn it to Betsy!!!! This satire got me again!
