What a gret idea. Take money and wealth from successful people and give it to politicians. Why can’t I dream up great stuff like this?

Well that’s only fair because of the wealth inequality. /s

Why not just seize the homes then let the poor live in them?

Bet the homes would look lovely in no time.

“Inequality” is the new global warming.

The IMF-proposed “mansion tax” is most certainly coming to the US, and everyone in Hollywood, Santa Monica, Santa Barbara and San Francisco are cheering for it. Right?

What will happen when they try to impose this tax on the British Royal Family?

Ah yes, “Dr. Zhivago” !!!!

Tried to get my daughters to watch it with me a few times. They couldn’t sit through it.

Though they’ve both grown up to be conservative one can only hope they won’t personally see a scene like that someday.

I saw that movie when I was young. I have watched it a few more times and appreciated it more.

Ironically Zhivago is my oldest daughter’s favorite movie. Her 2 younger sisters are the ones who won’t finish it.

OK...my favorite movie:

“The King of Hearts” with Alan Bates
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_of_Hearts_%281966_film%29

there is a dubbed version - originally French

Note how Class Warfare works, here. Those who can afford very valuable homes, where the Brits used to employ large numbers of household servants, are now to be taxed simply because they are valuable. The politicians will probably spend the money raised on various social policies, that actually discourage people from going out and doing something productive.

At the same time, they will limit the disposable funds of those who have those valuable homes, which will make them somewhat less inclined to emulate earlier generations of Brits, who provided employment for large numbers of domestics. (Of course, the Welfare State, being based in part on Class Envy, would discourage the beneficiaries from the mindset that respects the success of others; so that fewer Brits would consider such service to the wealthy even a worthy aspiration.)

Suggestion: We need to stop letting those working overtime, to convince others that they have imaginary grievances, get away with their stupid forays against human success.

The IMF would really like to kill the rich and take their stuff, but you can’t expect them to get there in one fell swoop.
