"So, we should soak the rich, right? Lots of folks say "Yes" without realizing they're volunteering to be soaked.

And just in case Torie wants to say "But I do volunteer!", I'll just point out that NO ONE to whom I have explained this has actually taken that position."

Anybody remember what happened when Huckabee allowed people that felt they "were not getting taxed enough" to pay extra to a special fund in Arkansas? I think the cost of maintaining the fund (minimal) exceeded the moneies donated. (Regardless, I thought it worth it to expose the hypocracy of the left.)

Huckabee did a good thing there. But, of course, there's no need for a Governor to explicitly voice such a program. Steven Spielberg, George Soros, Ted Turner, and Susan Sarandon are all far-left crazies who believe in soaking the rich. Question: Do those people ever voluntarily send big checks to the US Treasury? I'm not talking at tax-time. I mean just out of the blue. "Hey, I have too much money, guess I'll send some the government!"

That NEVER happens.
