The Chicago Sun-Times has an article listing the Billionaires. There are 1,226 Billionaires in ALL THE WORLD! Do these people pay their fair share? Some of them say no, although I do not believe them about their true feelings. Buffett must be derived from the word Buffoon in some other language, or he is really allowing himself to be a pawn as he really uses the system to grow ever richer. I take as a bunch of phonies the people who promise to give their wealth away upon their death. The government is going to take half of it, anyhow, so what are you really giving.
Here is the more interesting part. The world's 1,226 Billionaires are worth $4.6 TRILLION. Let's say the rich did more than their "fair share", Let's say that the pay their "whole share". There could be two scenarios, [i]The US government would spend that $4.6 TRILLION in just over four years, at which time we would be in a new predicament ... we would still have a $16 Trillion debt and no wealthy people to pay in. Or, scenario [ii], we could use the $4.6 T to pay down the debt from $16 T to $11.4 T. Scenario 2 would have us with an $11.4 Trillion and no wealthy people to pay taxes.
The Republicans need to club Obama with this over and over again. The problem in this country is a SPENDING problem. I do not have a law degree, but I believe I am more qualified than Holder is to be the AG. If the next President wants to appoint me to the AG's office my first order of business would to bring all Democratic office holders up on RICO charges. They should probably be jailed for what they have done over the last 40 years.
This guy gets it.
I recently told an OWS goober that I agreed with him. The 1% were evil rich capitalist pigs. We should take EVERYTHING away from them and redistribute it.
And we should do that every month. To the top 1 percenters.
You could actually see the dim bulb in his head come on when he realized the logical conclusion of that argument.
I went on. Instead of only 47 percent of Americans paying no income tax, why not 57 percent? Why not 67... 77...
He called me a bad word and stomped off.
I have a better idea.
Let those 1,226 billionaires pay for all those social programs and we can take the balance off the book and pay down the rest via other program cuts and reduced spending bills.
The billionaires can feel good about themselves and the rest of us can get out of debt.
Most likely all of them are Demo RATS.

I'll be sharing that.
The way the government does it, you won’t be sharing anything. Redistribution of wealth does not work that way. You vote for Democrats so that they can tax the rich and give the money to their cronies. It does not get to you in the redistribution process. The only roll that you play in all of this is to vote like a good Dummicrap and sit there hoping that they really care about you. They don’t!
Bill Whittle sums the whole thing up in a very interesting and entertaining video here. It’s called “eat the rich”:

We are about to live “Dr. Zivago”. I weep for our children.
The best place for the childred to be is out in the country away from any urban or metropolitan area. I swear, this sounds like what England had to do with it’s children and women when they had the Blitz...only this time, it ain’t the Nazis...at least in their formal name, anyhow.
I propose a 99.9% tax on all billionares whose last names begin and end with “S.”
He is laughing, as well
