The fool thinks 80% taxes will end rich incomes. If taxation can end an income class, why aim at that end. Get rid of poverty by taxing low incomes at 80%! No one would admit to being poor. Hat tip to Rush for raising the concept to start this month several years back.

No one can improve the position of the poor by bringing down the well-to-do!!!

LBJ and his "Great Society" with it's "War on Poverty" proved that for all time!!!

We have spent TRILLIONS of dollars, taken from the wealthiest in society with absolutely NOTHING to show for it in the way of even reducing poverty!!!

Furthermore… We sent nearly two dozen men to the moon, paid for a nearly useless war in indonesia and the cold war during the "Great Society" era… at least another TRILLION or TWO!!!

Give it a REST Piketty you liberal puke!!! We already tried your stupid ideology, dumbell and it never worked!!! (and never will)

Good, solid jobs are the best social programs ever invented, backed by good, solid ideas and greatly profitable capital investments!!!

Even the stoned cold Liberal JFK knew that because people were investing in such ideas like crazy during his shorted administration. Also during Reagan's!!!
